The substitution of a single hydrogen atom in a protein by fluorine yields a site-specific probe for sensitive detection by ^(19)F nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, where the absence of background signal from the protein facilitates the detection of minor conformational species. We developed genetic encoding systems for the site-selective incorporation of 4-fluorotryptophan, 5-fluorotryptophan, 6-fluorotryptophan, and 7-fluorotryptophan in response to an amber stop codon and used...

NMR Characterization of the Papain-like Protease from SARS-CoV-2 Identifies the Conformational Heterogeneity in Its Inhibitor-Binding Site
Papain-like protease (PLpro) from severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a prime target for the development of antivirals for Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, drugs that target the PLpro protein have not yet been approved. In order to gain insights into the development of a PLpro inhibitor, conformational dynamics of PLpro in complex with GRL0617, the most well-characterized PLpro inhibitor, were investigated using...

[NMR paper] Site-Specific Incorporation of 7-Fluoro-L-tryptophan into Proteins by Genetic Encoding to Monitor Ligand Binding by (19)F NMR Spectroscopy
Site-Specific Incorporation of 7-Fluoro-L-tryptophan into Proteins by Genetic Encoding to Monitor Ligand Binding by (19)F NMR Spectroscopy
A mutant aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase identified by a library selection system affords site-specific incorporation of 7-fluoro-L-tryptophan in response to an amber stop codon. The enzyme allows the production of proteins with a single hydrogen atom replaced by a fluorine atom as a sensitive nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) probe. The substitution of a single hydrogen atom by another element that is as closely similar in size and hydrophobicity as possible...

Site-specific resolution of anionic residues in proteins using solid-state NMR spectroscopy
Abstract
NMR spectroscopy is commonly used to infer site-specific acid dissociation constants (pKa) since the chemical shift is sensitive to the protonation state. Methods that probe atoms nearest to the functional groups involved in acid/base chemistry are the most sensitive for determining the protonation state. In this work, we describe a magic-angle-spinning (MAS) solid-state NMR approach to measure chemical shifts on the side chain of the anionic residues...
