Phosphoserine (pSer) sites are primarily located within disordered protein regions, making it difficult to experimentally ascertain their effects on protein structure and function. Therefore, the production of ^(15)N (and ^(13)C)-labeled proteins with site-specifically encoded pSer for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) studies is essential to uncover molecular mechanisms of protein regulation by phosphorylation. While genetic code expansion (GCE) technologies for the translational installation of...

Abstract
Advances in acetylated protein-protein/DNA interactions depend on the development of a novel NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) probe to study the conformational changes of acetylated proteins. However, the method for detecting the acetylated protein conformation is underdeveloped. Herein, an acetyllysine mimic has...

Genetically encoded amino acids with tert -butyl and trimethylsilyl groups for site-selective studies of proteins by NMR spectroscopy
Abstract
The amino acids 4-(tert-butyl)phenylalanine (Tbf) and 4-(trimethylsilyl)phenylalanine (TMSf), as well as a partially deuterated version of Tbf (dTbf), were chemically synthesized and site-specifically incorporated into different proteins, using an amber stop codon, suppressor tRNA and the broadband aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase originally evolved for the incorporation of p-cyano-phenylalanine. The 1H-NMR signals of...
