The measurement of interproton nuclear Overhauser enhancements (NOEs) and dihedral angle restraints of aromatic amino acids is a critical step towards determining the structure of a protein. The complete assignment of the resonances from aromatic rings and the subsequent resolution and identification of their associated NOEs, however, can be a difficult task. Shown here is a strategy for assigning the 1H, 13C, and 15N signals from the aromatic side chains of histidine, tryptophan, tyrosine, and phenylalanine using a suite of homo- and hetero-nuclear scalar and NOE correlation experiments, as well as selective deuterium isotope labelling. In addition, a comparison of NOE information obtained from homonuclear NOE spectroscopy (NOESY) and 13C-edited NOESY-heteronuclear single quantum correlation experiments indicates that high-resolution homonuclear two-dimensional NOESY spectra of selectively deuterated proteins are invaluable for obtaining distance restraints to the aromatic residues.

Uncovering symmetry-breaking vector and reliability order for assigning secondary structures of proteins from atomic NMR chemical shifts in amino acids
Abstract Unravelling the complex correlation between chemical shifts of 13 C α, 13 C β, 13 C�, 1 H α, 15 N, 1 H N atoms in amino acids of proteins from NMR experiment and local structural environments of amino acids facilitates the assignment of secondary structures of proteins. This is an important impetus for both determining the three-dimensional structure and understanding the biological function of proteins. The previous...

4D APSY-HBCB(CG)CDHD experiment for automated assignment of aromatic amino acid side chains in proteins
4D APSY-HBCB(CG)CDHD experiment for automated assignment of aromatic amino acid side chains in proteins
Abstract A four-dimensional (4D) APSY (automated projection spectroscopy)-HBCB(CG)CDHD experiment is presented. This 4D experiment correlates aromatic with aliphatic carbon and proton resonances from the same amino acid side chain of proteins in aqueous solution. It thus allows unambiguous sequence-specific assignment of aromatic amino acid ring signals based on backbone assignments. Compared to conventional 2D approaches, the inclusion of evolution periods on 1Hβ and 13Cδ...

Abstract
Assignment of backbone amide proton resonances is one of the most time-consuming stages of any protein NMR study when the protein samples behave non-ideally. A robust and convenient NMR procedure for analyzing spectra of...

Site-specific labeling of proteins with NMR-active unnatural amino acids
Site-specific labeling of proteins with NMR-active unnatural amino acids
Abstract A large number of amino acids other than the canonical amino acids can now be easily incorporated in vivo into proteins at genetically encoded positions. The technology requires an orthogonal tRNA/aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase pair specific for the unnatural amino acid that is added to the media while a TAG amber or frame shift codon specifies the incorporation site in the protein to be studied. These unnatural amino acids can be isotopically labeled and provide unique opportunities for site-specific labeling...
