NMR spectroscopy was recognized as a method of protein structure determination in solution. However, determination of the conformation of small peptides, which undergo fast molecular motions, remains a challenge. This is mainly caused by impossibility to collect required quantity of the distance and dihedral angle restraints from NMR spectra.

Termination of translation in eukaryotes is governed by two polypeptide chain release factors. The middle (M) domain of the class 1 translation termination factor eRF1 contains the strictly conserved GGQ motif and involved in hydrolysis of the peptidyl-tRNA ester bond within the peptidyl transferase center of the large ribosome subunit. Heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy was used to map the interaction interface of the M-domain of human termination factor eRF1 with eukaryotic ribosomes.
