RNA structural research lags behind that of proteins, preventing a robust understanding of RNA functions. NMR spectroscopy is an apt technique for probing the structures and dynamics of RNA molecules in solution at atomic resolution. Still, RNA analysis by NMR suffers from spectral overlap and line broadening, both of which worsen for larger RNAs. Incorporation of stable isotope labels into RNA has provided several solutions to these challenges. In this review, we summarize the benefits and...

Production of isotope-labeled proteins in insect cells for NMR
Production of isotope-labeled proteins in insect cells for NMR
Abstract
Baculovirus-infected insect cells have become a powerful tool to express recombinant proteins for structural and functional studies by NMR spectroscopy. This article provides an introduction into the insect cell/baculovirus expression system and its use for the production of recombinant isotope-labeled proteins. We discuss recent advances in inexpensive isotope-labeling methods using labeled algal or yeast extracts as the amino acid source and give examples of advanced NMR...

Structural studies of globular proteins by nmr can be enhanced by the use of isotope enrichment. We have been working with proteins enriched with 15N, and with both 15N and 13C. Due to the isotope enrichment we could assign several large...
