Abstract
The accelerated acquisition of multidimensional NMR spectra using sparse non-uniform sampling (NUS) has been widely adopted in recent years. The key concept in NUS is that a major part of the data is omitted during measurement, and then reconstructed using, for example, compressed sensing (CS) methods. CS requires spectra to be compressible, that is, they should contain relatively few "significant" points. The more compressible the spectrum, the fewer experimental NUS points needed in order for it to be accurately reconstructed. In this paper we show that the CS processing of similar spectra can be enhanced by reconstructing only the differences between them. Accurate reconstruction can be obtained at lower sampling levels as the difference is sparser than the spectrum itself. In many situations this method is superior to "conventional" compressed sensing. We exemplify the concept of "difference CS" with one such case-the study of alpha-synuclein binding to liposomes and its dependence on temperature. To obtain information on temperature-dependent transitions between different states, we need to acquire several dozen spectra at various temperatures, with and without the presence of liposomes. Our detailed investigation reveals that changes in the binding modes of the alpha-synuclein ensemble are not only temperature-dependent but also show non-linear behavior in their transitions. Our proposed CS processing approach dramatically reduces the number of NUS points required and thus significantly shortens the experimental time.

Abstract
There are over 100 computational predictors of intrinsic disorder. These methods predict amino acid-level propensities for disorder directly from protein sequences. The propensities can be used to annotate putative disordered residues and regions. This unit provides a practical and holistic introduction to the sequence-based intrinsic disorder prediction. We define intrinsic disorder, explain the format of computational prediction of disorder, and identify and describe several accurate predictors. We also introduce recently released databases of intrinsic disorder predictions and use an illustrative example to provide insights into how predictions should be interpreted and combined. Lastly, we summarize key experimental methods that can be used to validate computational predictions. © 2023 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

Abstract
NMR spectroscopy is key in the study of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). Yet, even the first step in such an analysis-the assignment of observed resonances to particular nuclei-is often problematic due to low peak dispersion in the spectra of IDPs. We show that the assignment process can be aided by finding "hidden" chemical shift patterns specific to the amino acid residue types. We find such patterns in the training data from the Biological Magnetic Resonance Bank using linear discriminant analysis, and then use them to classify spin systems in an α-synuclein sample prepared by us. We describe two situations in which the procedure can greatly facilitate the analysis of NMR spectra. The first involves the mapping of spin systems chains onto the protein sequence, which is part of the assignment procedure-a prerequisite for any NMR-based protein analysis. In the second, the method supports assignment transfer between similar samples. We conducted experiments to demonstrate these cases, and both times the majority of spin systems could be unambiguously assigned to the correct residue types.

Abstract
Unidirectional coherence transfer is highly efficient in intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). Their elevated ps-ns timescale dynamics ensures long transverse (T2) relaxation times allowing sophisticated coherence transfer pathway selection in comparison to folded proteins. 1Hα-detection ensures non-susceptibility to chemical exchange with the solvent and enables chemical shift assignment of consecutive proline residues, typically abundant in IDPs. However, many IDPs undergo a disorder-to-order transition upon interaction with their target protein, which leads to the loss of the favorable relaxation properties. Long coherence transfer routes now result in prohibitively large decrease in sensitivity. We introduce a novel 4D 1Hα-detected experiment HACANCOi, together with its 3D implementation, which warrant high sensitivity for the assignment of proline-rich regions in IDPs in complex with a globular protein. The experiment correlates 1Hαi, 13Cαi, 15Ni and [Formula: see text] spins by transferring the magnetization concomitantly from 13Cαi to 15Ni and [Formula: see text]. The B1 domain of protein G (GB1), and the enteropathogenic E. coli EspF in complex with human SNX9 SH3, serve as model systems to demonstrate the attainable sensitivity and successful sequential assignment.

Abstract
Post-translational modifications of proteins are widespread in eukaryotes. To elucidate the functional role of these modifications, detection methods need to be developed that provide information at atomic resolution. Here, we report on the development of a novel Arg-specific NMR experiment that detects the methylation status and symmetry of each arginine side chain even in highly repetitive RGG amino acid sequence motifs found in numerous proteins within intrinsically disordered regions. The experiment relies on the excellent resolution of the backbone H,N correlation spectra even in these low complexity sequences. It requires 13C, 15N labeled samples.

Abstract
Resonance assignment of intrinsically disordered proteins is remarkably challenging due to scant chemical shift dispersion arising from conformational heterogeneity. The challenge is even greater if repeating segments are present in the amino acid sequence. To forward unambiguous resonance assignment of intrinsically disordered proteins, we present iHACANCO, HACACON and (HACA)CONCAHA, three Hα-detected 4D experiments with Cα as an additional dimension. In addition, we present (HACA)CON(CA)NH and (HACA)N(CA)CONH, new 4D Hα-start, HN-detect experiments which have two NH dimensions to enhance peak dispersion in a sequential walk through C', NH and HN, and provide more accurate NH/HN chemical shifts than those that can be obtained from a crowded 1H, 15N-HSQC spectrum. Application of these 4D experiments is demonstrated using BilRI (165 aa), an outer-membrane intrinsically disordered protein from the opportunistic oral pathogen Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. BilRI amino acid sequence encompasses three very similar repeats with a 13-residue identical stretch in two of them.

Abstract
NMR spectroscopy is a versatile tool for studying time-dependent processes: chemical reactions, phase transitions or macromolecular structure changes. However, time-resolved NMR is usually based on the simplest among available techniques - one-dimensional spectra serving as "snapshots" of the studied process. One of the reasons is that multidimensional experiments are very time-expensive due to costly sampling of evolution time space. In this review we summarize efforts to alleviate the problem of limited applicability of multidimensional NMR in time-resolved studies. We focus on techniques based on sparse or non-uniform sampling (NUS), which lead to experimental time reduction by omitting a significant part of the data during measurement and reconstructing it mathematically, adopting certain assumptions about the spectrum. NUS spectra are faster to acquire than conventional ones and thus better suited to the role of "snapshots", but still suffer from non-stationarity of the signal i.e. amplitude and frequency variations within a dataset. We discuss in detail how these instabilities affect the spectra, and what are the optimal ways of sampling the non-stationary FID signal. Finally, we discuss related areas of NMR where serial experiments are exploited and how they can benefit from the same NUS-based approaches.

Abstract
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are getting more and more interest of the scientific community. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is often a technique of choice for these studies, as it provides atomic-resolution information on structure, dynamics and interactions of IDPs. Nonetheless, NMR spectra of IDPs are typically extraordinary crowded, comparing to those of structured proteins. To overcome this problem, high-dimensional NMR experiments can be used, which allow for a better peak separation. In the present review different aspects of such experiments are discussed, from data acquisition and processing to analysis, focusing on experiments for resonance assignment.

Abstract
As a result of profound gains in sensitivity and resolution afforded by ultrahigh magnetic fields, transformative applications in the fields of structural biology and materials science are being realized. The development of dual low temperature superconducting (LTS)/high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets has enabled the achievement of magnetic fields above 1 GHz (23.5 T), which will open doors to an unprecedented new range of applications. In this contribution, we discuss the promise of ultrahigh field magnetic resonance. We highlight several methodological developments pertinent at high-magnetic fields including measurement of 1H-1H distances and 1H chemical shift anisotropy in the solid state as well as studies of quadrupolar nuclei such as 17O. Higher magnetic fields have advanced heteronuclear detection in solution NMR, valuable for applications including metabolomics and disordered proteins, as well as expanded use of proton detection in the solid state in conjunction with ultrafast magic angle spinning. We also present several recent applications to structural studies of the AP205 bacteriophage, the M2 channel from Influenza A, and biomaterials such as human bone. Gains in sensitivity and resolution from increased field strengths will enable advanced applications of NMR spectroscopy including in vivo studies of whole cells and intact virions.

Abstract
New experiments dedicated for large IDPs backbone resonance assignment are presented. The most distinctive feature of all described techniques is the employment of MOCCA-XY16 mixing sequences to obtain effective magnetization transfers between carbonyl carbon backbone nuclei. The proposed 4 and 5 dimensional experiments provide a high dispersion of obtained signals making them suitable for use in the case of large IDPs (application to 354 a. a. residues of Tau protein 3x isoform is presented) as well as provide both forward and backward connectivities. What is more, connecting short chains interrupted with proline residues is also possible. All the experiments employ non-uniform sampling.

Abstract
Resonance assignment is a prerequisite for almost any NMR-based study of proteins. It can be very challenging in some cases, however, due to the nature of the protein under investigation. This is the case with intrinsically disordered proteins, for example, whose NMR spectra suffer from low chemical shifts dispersion and generally low resolution. For these systems, sequence specific assignment is highly time-consuming, so the prospect of using automatic strategies for their assignment is very attractive. In this article we present a new version of the automatic assignment program TSAR dedicated to intrinsically disordered proteins. In particular, we demonstrate how the automatic procedure can be improved by incorporating methods for amino acid recognition and information on chemical shifts in selected amino acids. The approach was tested in silico on 16 disordered proteins and experimentally on α-synuclein, with remarkably good results.

Abstract
Two novel six- and seven-dimensional NMR experiments are proposed. The new experiments employ non-uniform sampling that enables achieving high resolution in four indirectly detected dimensions and synchronous sampling in the additional dimensions using projection spectroscopy principle. The resulted data sets could be processed as five-dimensional data using existing software. The experiments facilitate resonance assignment of intrinsically disordered proteins. The novel experiments were successfully tested using 1 mM sample of α-synuclein on 600 and 800 MHz NMR spectrometers equipped with standard room temperature probes. The experiments allowed backbone assignment from a 1-day acquisition.

Abstract
The three-dimensional structure determination of RNAs by NMR spectroscopy requires sequential resonance assignment, often hampered by assignment ambiguities and limited dispersion of (1)H and (13)C chemical shifts, especially of C4'/H4'. Here we present a novel through-bond 4D HPCH NMR experiment involving phosphate backbone where C4'-H4' correlations are resolved along the (1)H3'-(31)P spectral planes. The experiment provides high peak resolution and effectively removes ambiguities encountered during assignments. Enhanced peak dispersion is provided by the inclusion of additional (31)P and (1)H3' dimensions and constant-time evolution of chemical shifts. High spectral resolution is obtained by using non-uniform sampling in three indirect dimensions. The experiment fully utilizes the isotopic (13)C-labeling with evolution of C4' carbons. Band selective (13)C inversion pulses are used to achieve selectivity and prevent signal dephasing due to the C4'-C3' and C4'-C5' homonuclear couplings. Multiple quantum line narrowing is employed to minimize sensitivity loses. The 4D HPCH experiment is verified and successfully applied to a non-coding 34-nt RNA consisting typical structure elements and a 14-nt RNA hairpin capped by cUUCGg tetraloop.

Abstract
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are functional proteins containing large fragments characterized by high local mobility. Bioinformatic studies have suggested that a significant fraction (more than 30%) of eukaryotic proteins has disordered regions of more than 50 amino acids in length. Hence, NMR methods for the characterization of local compactness and solvent accessibility in such highly disordered proteins are of high importance. Among the available approaches, the HET-SOFAST/BEST experiments (Schanda et al., 2006, Rennella et al., 2014) provide semi-quantitative information by monitoring longitudinal (1)H relaxation of amide protons under different initial conditions. However, when approaching physiological sample conditions, the potential of these amide (1)H detected experiments is reduced due to rapid amide proton solvent exchange. (13)C direct detection methods therefore provide a valuable alternative thanks to a higher chemical shift dispersion and their intrinsic insensitivity toward solvent exchange. Here we present two sets of (13)C-detected experiments, which indirectly measure (1)H(N) and (1)H(α) inversion recovery profiles. The experiments consist of an initial spin inversion-recovery block optimized for selective manipulation of different types of proton spins followed by a CON read-out scheme. The proposed experiments were tested on human α-synuclein and ubiquitin, two representative examples of unfolded and folded proteins.

Abstract
Thanks to recent improvements in NMR instrumentation, pulse sequence design, and sample preparation, a panoply of new NMR tools has become available for atomic resolution characterization of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) that are optimized for the particular chemical and spectroscopic properties of these molecules. A wide range of NMR observables can now be measured on increasingly complex IDPs that report on their structural and dynamic properties in isolation, as part of a larger complex, or even inside an entire living cell. Herein we present basic NMR concepts, as well as optimised tools available for the study of IDPs in solution. In particular, the following sections are discussed hereafter: a short introduction to NMR spectroscopy and instrumentation (Sect. 3.1), the effect of order and disorder on NMR observables (Sect. 3.2), particular challenges and bottlenecks for NMR studies of IDPs (Sect. 3.3), 2D HN and CON NMR experiments: the fingerprint of an IDP (Sect. 3.4), tools for overcoming major bottlenecks of IDP NMR studies (Sect. 3.5), 13C detected experiments (Sect. 3.6), from 2D to 3D: from simple snapshots to site-resolved characterization of IDPs (Sect. 3.7), sequential NMR assignment: 3D experiments (Sect. 3.8), high-dimensional NMR experiments (nD, with n>3) (Sect. 3.9) and conclusions and perspectives (Sect. 3.10).

Abstract
Sequence specific resonance assignment is the prerequisite for the NMR-based analysis of the conformational ensembles and their underlying dynamics of intrinsically disordered proteins. However, rapid solvent exchange in intrinsically disordered proteins often complicates assignment strategies based on HN-detection. Here we present a six-dimensional alpha proton detection-based automated projection spectroscopy (APSY) experiment for backbone assignment of intrinsically disordered proteins. The 6D HCACONCAH APSY correlates the six different chemical shifts, H(α)(i - 1), C(α)(i - 1), C'(i - 1), N(i), Cα(i) and Hα(i). Application to two intrinsically disordered proteins, 140-residue α-synuclein and a 352-residue isoform of Tau, demonstrates that the chemical shift information provided by the 6D HCACONCAH APSY allows efficient backbone resonance assignment of intrinsically disordered proteins.

Abstract
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are a class of highly flexible proteins whose characterization by NMR spectroscopy is complicated by severe spectral overlaps. The development of experiments designed to facilitate the sequence-specific assignment procedure is thus very important to improve the tools for the characterization of IDPs and thus to be able to focus on IDPs of increasing size and complexity. Here, we present and describe the implementation of a set of novel ¹H-detected 5D experiments, (HACA)CON(CACO)NCO(CA)HA, BT-(H)NCO(CAN)CONNH and BT-HN(COCAN)CONNH, optimized for the study of highly flexible IDPs that exploit the best resolved correlations, those involving the carbonyl and nitrogen nuclei of neighboring amino acids, to achieve sequence-specific resonance assignment. Together with the analogous recently proposed pulse schemes based on ¹³C detection, they form a complete set of experiments for sequence-specific assignment of highly flexible IDPs. Depending on the particular sample conditions (concentration, lifetime, pH, temperature, etc.), these experiments present certain advantages and disadvantages that will be discussed. Needless to say, that the availability of a variety of complementary experiments will be important for accurate determination of resonance frequencies in complex IDPs.

Abstract
Multi-dimensional NMR spectra have traditionally been processed with the fast Fourier transformation (FFT). The availability of high field instruments, the complexity of spectra of large proteins, the narrow signal dispersion of some unstructured proteins, and the time needed to record the necessary increments in the indirect dimensions to exploit the resolution of the highfield instruments make this traditional approach unsatisfactory. New procedures need to be developed beyond uniform sampling of the indirect dimensions and reconstruction methods other than the straight FFT are necessary. Here we discuss approaches of non-uniform sampling (NUS) and suitable reconstruction methods. We expect that such methods will become standard for multi-dimensional NMR data acquisition with complex biological macromolecules and will dramatically enhance the power of modern biological NMR.

Abstract
Time-resolved experiments demand high resolution both in spectral dimensions and in time of the studied kinetic process. The latter requirement traditionally prohibits applications of the multidimensional experiments, which, although capable of providing invaluable information about structure and dynamics and almost unlimited spectral resolution, require too lengthy data collection. Our work shows that the problem has a solution in using modern methods of NMR data collection and signal processing. A continuous fast pulsing three-dimensional experiment is acquired using non-uniform sampling during full time of the studied reaction. High sensitivity and time-resolution of a few minutes is achieved by simultaneous processing of the full data set with the multi-dimensional decomposition. The method is verified and illustrated in realistic simulations and by measuring deuterium exchange rates of amide protons in ubiquitin. We applied the method for characterizing kinetics of in vitro phosphorylation of two tyrosine residues in an intrinsically disordered cytosolic domain of the B cell receptor protein CD79b. Signals of many residues including tyrosines in both phosphorylated and unmodified forms of CD79b are found in a heavily crowded region of 2D ¹H-¹⁵N correlation spectrum and the significantly enhanced spectral resolution provided by the 3D time-resolved approach was essential for the quantitative site-specific analysis.

Abstract
NMR spectroscopy is by far the most versatile and information rich technique to study intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). While NMR is able to offer residue level information on structure and dynamics, assignment of chemical shift resonances in IDPs is not a straightforward process. Consequently, numerous pulse sequences and assignment protocols have been developed during past several years, targeted especially for the assignment of IDPs, including experiments that employ H(N), H(α) or (13)C detection combined with two to six indirectly detected dimensions. Here we propose two new HN-detection based pulse sequences, (HCA)CON(CAN)H and (HCA)N(CA)CO(N)H, that provide correlations with (1)H(N)(i - 1), (13)C'(i - 1) and (15)N(i), and (1)H(N)(i + 1), (13)C'(i) and (15)N(i) frequencies, respectively. Most importantly, they offer sequential links across the proline bridges and enable filling the single proline gaps during the assignment. We show that the novel experiments can efficiently complement the information available from existing HNCO and intraresidual i(HCA)CO(CA)NH pulse sequences and their concomitant usage enabled >95 % assignment of backbone resonances in cytoplasmic tail of adenosine receptor A2A in comparison to 73 % complete assignment using the HNCO/i(HCA)CO(CA)NH data alone.

Abstract
Techniques that accelerate data acquisition without sacrificing the advantages of fast Fourier transform (FFT) reconstruction could benefit a wide variety of magnetic resonance experiments. Here we discuss an approach for reconstructing multidimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra and MR images from sparsely-sampled time domain data, by way of iterated maps. This method exploits the computational speed of the FFT algorithm and is done in a deterministic way, by reformulating any a priori knowledge or constraints into projections, and then iterating. In this paper we explain the motivation behind this approach, the formulation of the specific projections, the benefits of using a 'QUasi-Even Sampling, plus jiTter' (QUEST) sampling schedule, and various methods for handling noise. Applying the iterated maps method to real 2D NMR and 3D MRI of solids data, we show that it is flexible and robust enough to handle large data sets with significant noise and artifacts.
