Abstract
Biosimilar drug products must have a demonstrated similarity with respect to the reference product's molecules in order to ensure both the effectiveness of the drug and the patients' safety. In this paper the fusion framework of a highly sensitive NMR fingerprinting approach for conformational changes and mathematically-based biosimilarity metrics is introduced. The final goal is to translate the complex spectral information into biosimilarity scores, which are then used to estimate the degree of similarity between the biosimilar and the reference product. The proposed method was successfully applied to a small protein, i.e., filgrastim (neutropenia treatment), which is the first biosimilar approved in the United States, and a relatively large protein, i.e., monoclonal antibody rituximab (lymphoma treatment). This innovative approach introduces a new level of sensitivity to structural changes that are induced by, e.g., a small pH shift or other changes in the protein formulation.

Abstract
Protein kinases are ubiquitous enzymes with critical roles in cellular processes and pathology. As a result, researchers have studied their activity and regulatory mechanisms extensively. Thousands of X-ray structures give snapshots of the architectures of protein kinases in various states of activation and ligand binding. However, the extent of and manner by which protein motions and conformational dynamics underlie the function and regulation of these important enzymes is not well understood. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods provide complementary information about protein conformation and dynamics in solution. However, until recently, the large size of these enzymes prevented researchers from using these methods with kinases. Developments in transverse relaxation-optimized spectroscopy (TROSY)-based techniques and more efficient isotope labeling strategies are now allowing researchers to carry out NMR studies on full-length protein kinases. In this Account, we describe recent insights into the role of dynamics in protein kinase regulation and catalysis that have been gained from NMR measurements of chemical shift changes and line broadening, residual dipolar couplings, and relaxation. These findings show strong associations between protein motion and events that control kinase activity. Dynamic and conformational changes occurring at ligand binding sites and other regulatory domains of these proteins propagate to conserved kinase core regions that mediate catalytic function. NMR measurements of slow time scale (microsecond to millisecond) motions also reveal that kinases carry out global exchange processes that synchronize multiple residues and allosteric interconversion between conformational states. Activating covalent modifications or ligand binding to form the Michaelis complex can induce these global processes. Inhibitors can also exploit the exchange properties of kinases by using conformational selection to form dynamically quenched states. These investigations have revealed that kinases are highly dynamic enzymes, whose regulation by interdomain interactions, ligand binding, and covalent modifications involve changes in motion and conformational equilibrium in a manner that can be correlated with function. Thus, NMR provides a unique window into the role of protein dynamics in kinase regulation and catalysis with important implications for drug design.

Abstract
A simple modification of the TROSY pulse transfer scheme, suggested by Yang and Kay [J. Biomol. NMR 13 (1999) 3-10], is proposed which results in the suppression of unwanted anti-TROSY lines without any extra loss in sensitivity. The higher sensitivity of this TROSY transfer scheme therefore becomes available for 2D [15N, 1H] TROSY correlation and 3D/4D 15N separated NOESY type experiments where complete suppression of the broad anti-TROSY lines is essential.

Abstract
Non-uniform sampling is shown to provide significant time savings in the acquisition of a suite of three-dimensional NMR experiments utilized for obtaining backbone assignments of H, N, C', CA, and CB nuclei in proteins : HNCO, HN(CA)CO, HNCA, HN(CO)CA, HNCACB, and HN(CO)CACB. Non-uniform sampling means that data were collected for only a subset of all incremented evolution periods, according to a user-specified sampling schedule. When the suite of six 3D experiments was acquired in a uniform fashion for an 11 kDa cytoplasmic domain of a membrane protein at 1.5 mM concentration, a total of 146 h was consumed. With non-uniform sampling, the same experiments were acquired in 32 h and, through subsequent maximum entropy reconstruction, yielded spectra of similar quality to those obtained by conventional Fourier transform of the uniformly acquired data. The experimental time saved with this methodology can significantly accelerate protein structure determination by NMR, particularly when combined with the use of automated assignment software, and enable the study of samples with poor stability at room temperature. Since it is also possible to use the time savings to acquire a greater numbers of scans to increase sensitivity while maintaining high resolution, this methodology will help extend the size limit of proteins accessible to NMR studies, and open the way to studies of samples that suffer from solubility problems.

Abstract
The catalytic mechanism of dUTP pyrophosphatase (dUTPase), responsible for the prevention of uracil incorporation into DNA, involves ordering of the flexible C terminus of the enzyme. This conformational shift is investigated by multidimensional NMR on the Drosophila enzyme. Flexible segments of the homotrimer give rise to sharp resonances in the (1)H-(15)N heteronuclear single-quantum coherence (HSQC) spectra, which are clearly distinguishable from the background resonances of the well folded protein globule. Binding of the product dUMP or the analogues dUDP and alpha,beta-imino-dUTP to the enzyme induces a conformational change reflected in the disappearance of eight sharp resonances. This phenomenon is interpreted as nucleotide binding-induced ordering of some residues upon the folded protein globule. Three-dimensional (15)N-edited (1)H-(15)N HSQC total correlation spectroscopy (TOCSY) and (1)H-(15)N HSQC nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy measurements allowed clear assignment of these eight specific resonance peaks. The residues identified correspond to the conserved C-terminal sequence motif, indicating that (i) this conformational shift is amenable to NMR studies in solution even in the large trimeric molecule and (ii) formation of the closed enzyme conformer in the case of the Drosophila enzyme does not require the complete triphosphate chain of the substrate. NMR titration of the enzyme with the nucleotide ligands as well as kinetic data indicated significant deviation from the model of independent active sites within the homotrimer. The results suggest allosterism in the eukaryotic dUTPase.
