It is possible to get an ensemble for an intrinsically disordered segment from NMR. We did this in https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4008819/

I should have mentioned in my initial post that my intention is to first conduct a high throughput virtual screening on these proteins, thus I would need high "resolution" of the structures which SAXS could not provide, as far as I understand. SAXS/SAS might become useful at a later stage, when I have a small number of potential inhibitors identified.

I would suggest looking into those avenues first. If you have well behaved (i.e. non-aggregating) purified proein and access to synchrotron beam time (easily requested), a series of SAXS experiments could probably be conducted in one day. I don't want to oversell SAXS, I'm not really an enthusiast. But this case, categorizing the interaction of two poorly ordered proteins in solution and in particular the facilitation or disruption of this interaction by small molecules, should be well within its scope. best Ethan On Saturday, 14 August 2021 14:12:40 PDT Sorin Draga wrote: > Hello everyone, > > I do realize that this is not a NMR focused group, but I do hope that there > are a few spectroscopists lurking around that could possibly answer a few > questions (I am more of a modeler/computationalist): > > The problem: I have two intrinsically disordered proteins that are known to > interact (let's call them 1 and 2).
