Abstract
We present an economic and straightforward method to introduce 13C-19F spin systems into the deuterated aromatic side chains of phenylalanine as reporters for various protein NMR applications. The method is based on the synthesis of [4-13C, 2,3,5,6-2H4] 4-fluorophenylalanine from the commercially available isotope sources [2-13C] acetone and deuterium oxide. This compound is readily metabolized by standard Escherichia coli overexpression in a glyphosate-containing minimal medium, which results in high incorporation rates in the corresponding target proteins.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Biomolecular NMR provides a forum for publishing research on technical developments and innovative applications of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy for the study of structure and dynamic properties of biopolymers in solution, liquid crystals, solids and mixed environments, e.g., attached to membranes. This may include:
Three-dimensional structure determination of biological macromolecules (polypeptides/proteins, DNA, RNA, oligosaccharides) by NMR.
New NMR techniques for studies of biological macromolecules.
Novel approaches to computer-aided automated analysis of multidimensional NMR spectra.
Computational methods for the structural interpretation of NMR data, including structure refinement.
Comparisons of structures determined by NMR with those obtained by other methods, e.g. by diffraction techniques with protein single crystals.
New techniques of sample preparation for NMR experiments (biosynthetic and chemical methods for isotope labeling, preparation of nutrients for biosynthetic isotope labeling, etc.). An NMR characterization of the products must be included.
