The paper “Structure determination of high-energy states in a dynamic protein ensemble” that describes methodology to combine pseudo contacts shifts and CPMG relaxation dispersion experiments to determine high-energy protein structures has appeared in Nature.

Congratulations to first-author John Stiller and everyone else involved on a great story. The project was a collaboration with Doug Theobald at Brandeis University and Daniel Häussinger’s lab at the University of Basel, Switzerland.
