Abstract
Cell-free protein synthesis using eCells allows production of amino acids from inexpensive 13C-labelled precursors. We show that the metabolic pathway converting pyruvate, glucose and erythrose into aromatic amino acids is maintained in eCells. Judicious choice of 13C-labelled starting material leads to proteins, where the sidechains of aromatic amino acids display [13C,1H]-HSQC cross-peaks free of one-bond 13C–13C couplings. Selective 13C-labelling of tyrosine and phenylalanine residues is achieved simply by using different compositions of the reaction buffers.
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.
