Abstract
Several researchers conducted a study to investigate disordered chemical shifts in intrinsically disordered proteins (IDP). The chemical shifts of the nuclei in a protein were determined by several factors including the structure of the protein and its solvent surroundings. The secondary structure elements were only populated transiently in disordered proteins and the challenge was to identify both their location in the protein sequence and their time-averaged populations. The most important variables relating to external conditions were pH, co-solvents, and temperature. The chemical shift perturbations from datasets recorded at pH values above the average were not canceled by the perturbations from below the average value. It was also observed that temperature affected the random coil chemical shifts, but the importance of temperature varied significantly between nuclei.
