“…NMR chemical shifts (CS), residual dipolar couplings (RDCs), scalar couplings as well as paramagnetic relaxation enhancements (PREs) have, in the past, been used to derive conformational ensembles describing IDPs (reviewed in [ 11 ]). Those parameters have often been used in conjunction with small angle scattering techniques, providing additional information on the overall extension of the disordered protein ensemble [ 42 , 46 , 88 , 121 , 122 , 123 ]. Single molecule fluorescence, on the other hand, and in particular smFRET, providing access to specific distances in the protein chain due to site specific attachment of the fluorophores, has mainly obtained distances assuming the behavior of the protein chain according to a polymer chain model [ 15 , 18 , 98 , 124 ].…”
