RT Journal Article T1 Fast NMR Screening of Macromolecular Complexes by a Paramagnetic Spin Relaxation Filter A1 Pinto, Luiz F. A1 Correa, Juan A1 Zhao, Libo A1 Riguera Vega, Ricardo A1 Fernández Megía, Eduardo AB The paramagnetic spin relaxation filter is described for the rapid NMR screening of intermolecular interactions between ligands and macromolecular anionic receptors with large transverse relaxation enhancements (R2p). The addition of micromolar concentrations of Gd3+ to the mixture produces the immediate broadening/suppression of the NMR signals of interacting species while leaving unaffected those of noncompetitive binders (one-dimensional and two-dimensional experiments). The method is highly sensitive, unveiling interactions that are too weak to generate changes in chemical shifts or relaxation times. It is operationally very simple and hence, it is amenable to ready implementation by nonspecialists. Examples of application such as detecting the formation of interpolymer complexes, cyclodextrin host–guest interactions, and the screening of DNA ligands are included that demonstrate the reliability and broad applicability of the method PB American Chemical Society YR 2018 FD 2018-03-12 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/16947 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/16947 LA eng NO Pinto, L., Correa, J., Zhao, L., Riguera, R., & Fernandez-Megia, E.
