Fluorine-19 NMR spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful tool for studying protein structure, dynamics, and interactions. Of particular interest is the exploitation of trifluoromethyl (tfm) groups, given their high sensitivity and superior transverse relaxation properties, compared to single fluorine atoms. However, biosynthetic incorporation of tfm-bearing amino acids remains challenging due to cytotoxicity and incompatibility with natural tRNA synthetases. Here, we report on overcoming this...

Hydrogen exchange during cell-free incorporation of deuterated amino acids and an approach to its inhibition
Hydrogen exchange during cell-free incorporation of deuterated amino acids and an approach to its inhibition
Abstract Perdeuteration, selective deuteration, and stereo array isotope labeling (SAIL) are valuable strategies for NMR studies of larger proteins and membrane proteins. To minimize scrambling of the label, it is best to use cell-free methods to prepare selectively labeled proteins. However, when proteins are prepared from deuterated amino acids by cell-free translation in H2O, exchange reactions can lead to contamination of 2H sites by 1H from the solvent. Examination of a...

Modern cell-free in vitro protein synthesis systems present powerful tools for the synthesis of isotope-labeled proteins in high yields. The production of selectively 15 N-labeled proteins from 15 N-labeled amino acids is particularly economic and yields are often sufficient to analyze the proteins very quickly by two-dimensional NMR...

Journal of Biomolecular NMR; 2007; 39(3); pp 229-238
Abstract:
Cell-free protein synthesis protocols for uniformly deuterated proteins typically yield low, non-uniform deuteration levels. This paper introduces an E. coli cell-extract, D-S30, which enables efficient production of proteins with high deuteration levels for all non-labile hydrogen atom positions. Potential applications of the new protocol may include production of proteins...
