Residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) can provide exquisitely detailed information about the structure and dynamics of proteins. It is challenging, however, to extract such information from RDC measurements in conformationally heterogeneous states of proteins because of the complex relationship between RDCs and protein structures. To obtain new insights into this problem, we discuss methods of calculating the RDCs that do not require the definition of an alignment tensor. These methods can help in particular in the search of effective ways to use RDCs to characterise disordered or partially disordered states of proteins. © 2014 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.

Abstract
Residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) can provide exquisitely detailed information about the structure and dynamics of proteins. It is challenging, however, to extract such information from RDC measurements in conformationally heterogeneous states of proteins because of the complex relationship between RDCs and protein structures. To obtain new insights into this problem, we discuss methods of calculating the RDCs that do not require the definition of an alignment tensor. These methods can help in particular in the search of effective ways to use RDCs to characterise disordered or partially disordered states of proteins. © 2014 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
