The application of metabolic precursors for selective stable isotope labeling of aromatic residues in cell-based protein overexpression has already resulted in numerous NMR probes to study the structural and dynamic characteristics of proteins. With anthranilic acid, we present the structurally simplest precursor for exclusive tryptophan side chain labeling. A synthetic route to 13C, 2H isotopologues allows the installation of isolated 13Câ??1H spin systems in the indole ring of tryptophan, representing a versatile tool to investigate side chain motion using relaxation-based experiments without the loss of magnetization due to strong 1JCC and weaker 2JCH scalar couplings, as well as dipolar interactions with remote hydrogens. In this article, we want to introduce this novel precursor in the context of hitherto existing techniques of in vivo aromatic residue labeling.

Increased resolution of aromatic cross peaks using alternate 13 C labeling and TROSY
Abstract
For typical globular proteins, contacts involving aromatic side chains would constitute the largest number of distance constraints that could be used to define the structure of proteins and protein complexes based on NOE contacts. However, the 1H NMR signals of aromatic side chains are often heavily overlapped, which hampers extensive use of aromatic NOE cross peaks. Some of this overlap can be overcome by recording 13C-dispersed NOESY spectra. However, the...

Alternative SAIL-Trp for robust aromatic signal assignment and determination of the Ï?2 conformation by intra-residue NOEs
Alternative SAIL-Trp for robust aromatic signal assignment and determination of the Ï?2 conformation by intra-residue NOEs
Abstract Tryptophan (Trp) residues are frequently found in the hydrophobic cores of proteins, and therefore, their side-chain conformations, especially the precise locations of the bulky indole rings, are critical for determining structures by NMR. However, when analyzing -proteins, the observation and assignment of the ring signals are often hampered by excessive overlaps and tight spin couplings. These difficulties have been greatly alleviated by using...
