Protein Sci. 2000 Dec;9(12):2573-6
Authors: Luck LA, Johnson C
The binding capacity of the L-leucine receptor from Escherichia coli was measured with L-phenylalanine and 4-fluoro-L-phenylalanine as substrates by fluorescence. The apparent dissociation constants (KD) for L-leucine, L-phenylalanine, and 4-fluoro-L-phenylalanine are 0.40, 0.18, and 0.26 respectively. 19F NMR data show protein-induced shifts for the 4-fluoro-L-phenylalanine peak and 3-fluoro-L-phenylalanine when receptor is present. Evidence points to the binding of only the L-isomers of these fluorine analogs.
Application of SAIL phenylalanine and tyrosine with alternative isotope-labeling patterns for protein structure determination
Application of SAIL phenylalanine and tyrosine with alternative isotope-labeling patterns for protein structure determination
Abstract The extensive collection of NOE constraint data involving the aromatic ring signals is essential for accurate protein structure determination, although it is often hampered in practice by the pervasive signal overlapping and tight spin couplings for aromatic rings. We have prepared various types of stereo-array isotope labeled phenylalanines (ε- and ζ-SAIL Phe) and tyrosine (ε-SAIL Tyr) to overcome these problems (Torizawa et al. 2005), and proven...

Calmodulin is an important second messenger protein which is involved in a large variety of cellular pathways. Calmodulin is sensitive to fluctuations in the intracellular Ca2+ levels and is activated by the binding of four Ca2+ ions. In spite of the important role it plays in signal transduction pathways, it shows a surprisingly broad...

Fluorescence: A source of noise in NMR?
The other day I was reading a book “Experimental Pulse NMR: A Nuts and Bolt Approach” by Eiichi Fukushima and Stephen B W Roeder and I was encountered with a sentence which says,”Fluorescent lights generate noise which can be picked up in the spectrometer.” (para 1, page 13). I wonder if they are talking about

Approaches to the assignment of 19F resonances from 3-fluorophenylalanine labeled cal
Abstract Traditional single site replacement mutations (in this case, phenylalanine to tyrosine) were compared with methods which exclusively employ 15N and 19F-edited two- and three-dimensional NMR experiments for purposes of assigning 19F NMR resonances from calmodulin (CaM), biosynthetically labeled with 3-fluorophenylalanine (3-FPhe). The global substitution of 3-FPhe for native phenylalanine was tolerated in CaM as evidenced by a comparison of 1H-15N HSQC spectra and calcium binding assays in the presence and absence of 3-FPhe. The 19F NMR spectrum reveals six resolved resonances, one...
