Abstract
Solution-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy can be used to monitor protein–carbohydrate interactions. Two-dimensional 1H-15N heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC)-based techniques described in this chapter can be used quickly and effectively to screen a set of possible carbohydrate-binding partners, to quantify the dissociation constant (Kd) of any identified interactions, and to the map the carbohydrate-binding site on the structure of a protein. Here, we describe the titration of a family 32 carbohydrate-binding module from Clostridium perfringens (CpCBM32) with the monosaccharide N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc), in which we calculate the apparent dissociation of the interaction and map the GalNAc binding site onto the structure of CpCBM32. This approach can be applied to other CBM– and protein–ligand systems.
