Sumario: | In studying secondary structural propensities of proteins by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, secondary chemical shifts (SCSs) serve as the primary atomic scale observables. For SCS calculation, the selection of an appropriate random coil chemical shift (RCCS) dataset is a crucial step, especially when investigating intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). The scientific literature is abundant in such datasets, however, the effect of choosing one over all the others in a concrete application has not yet been studied thoroughly and systematically. Hereby, we review the available RCCS prediction methods and to compare them, we conduct statistical inference by means of the nonparametric sum of ranking differences and comparison of ranks to random numbers (SRD-CRRN) method. We try to find the RCCS predictors best representing the general consensus regarding secondary structural propensities. The existence and the magnitude of resulting differences on secondary structure determination under varying sample conditions (temperature, pH) are demonstrated and discussed for globular proteins and especially IDPs. |
