New limits of sensitivity of site-directed spin labeling electron paramagnetic resonance for membrane proteins #DNPNMR
A nice overview how spinlabels can be used for structural biology studies. This includes pulsed EPR techniques such as PELDOR (DEER) and ODNP spectroscopy.

Site-selective 13 C labeling of proteins using erythrose
Abstract
NMR-spectroscopy enables unique experimental studies on protein dynamics at atomic resolution. In order to obtain a full atom view on protein dynamics, and to study specific local processes like ring-flips, proton-transfer, or tautomerization, one has to perform studies on amino-acid side chains. A key requirement for these studies is site-selective labeling with 13C and/or 1H, which is achieved in the most general way by using site-selectively 13C-enriched glucose (1- and 2-13C) as the...

[NMR paper] A Versatile Approach for Site-Specific Lysine Acylation in Proteins
A Versatile Approach for Site-Specific Lysine Acylation in Proteins
Using amber suppression in coordination with a mutant pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase-tRNAPyl pair, azidonorleucine is genetically encoded in E. coli. Its genetic incorporation followed by traceless Staudinger ligation with a phosphinothioester allows the convenient synthesis of a protein with a site-specifically installed lysine acylation. By simply changing the phosphinothioester identity, any lysine acylation type could be introduced. Using this approach, we demonstrated that both lysine acetylation and lysine...
