Abstract
We describe a 19F NMR method for detecting bromodomain-ligand interactions using fluorine-labeled aromatic amino acids due to the conservation of aromatic residues in the bromodomain binding site. We test the sensitivity, accuracy, and speed of this method with small molecule ligands (+)-JQ1, BI2536, Dinaciclib, TG101348, and acetaminophen using three bromodomains Brd4, BrdT and BPTF. Simplified 19F NMR spectra allowed for simultaneous testing of multiple bromodomains to assess selectivity and identification of a new BPTF ligand. Fluorine labeling only modestly affected Brd4 structure and function assessed by isothermal titration calorimetry, circular dichroism, and x-ray crystallography. The speed, ease of interpretation, and low concentration of protein needed for binding experiments affords a new method to discover and characterize both native and new ligands.

Development and application of aromatic SOFAST-HMQC NMR experiment for nucleic acids
Abstract
Higher sensitivity of NMR spectrometers and novel isotopic labeling schemes have ushered the development of rapid data acquisition methodologies, improving the time resolution with which NMR data can be acquired. For nucleic acids, longitudinal relaxation optimization in conjunction with Ernst angle excitation (SOFAST-HMQC) for imino protons, in addition to rendering rapid pulsing, has been demonstrated to yield significant improvements in sensitivity per...

[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] 13C quaternary centers in amino acids
13C quaternary centers in amino acids
I've got a sample of about 5mg of an amino acid that is the final product of a a synthesis. Due to the long relaxation time that the carboxylic and the alpha C we only got a 200 varian Mercury instrument and we're unable to obtain those signals. I was wondering if an APT is better than DEPT, because we're only interested in this signals and i've heard the overall pulse sequence is shorter than the DEPT, increasing the number of scans in the same period of time.

[KPWU blog] Names of Atoms of Amino acids
Names of Atoms of Amino acids
I really hate the inconsistent nomenclature of atoms of amino acids between different programs/database. I finished all NOESY assignment on Sparky using PDB nomenclature and the Sparky XPLOR constraint plugin (shortcut xf) doesn’t take care of the differences between XPLOR and PDB. Thus I have to find a table showing me the differences of names http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kpwu.wordpress.com&blog=76132&post=262&subd=kpwu&ref=&feed=1
