The development of novel isotope labeling strategies for proteins has facilitated the study of the structure and dynamics of these molecules. In addition, the recent emergence of alternative methods of bacterial expression for obtaining isotopically labeled proteins permits the study of new classes of important proteins by solution NMR methods.

Uniform isotope labeling of a eukaryotic seven-transmembrane helical protein in yeast enables high-resolution solid-state NMR studies in the lipid environment
Abstract Overexpression of isotope-labeled multi-spanning eukaryotic membrane proteins for structural NMR studies is often challenging. On the one hand, difficulties with achieving proper folding, membrane insertion, and native-like post-translational modifications frequently disqualify bacterial expression systems. On the other hand, eukaryotic cell cultures can be prohibitively expensive. One of the viable alternatives,...

Isotope labeling strategies for NMR studies of RNA
Isotope labeling strategies for NMR studies of RNA
Abstract The known biological functions of RNA have expanded in recent years and now include gene regulation, maintenance of sub-cellular structure, and catalysis, in addition to propagation of genetic information. As for proteins, RNA function is tightly correlated with structure. Unlike proteins, structural information for larger, biologically functional RNAs is relatively limited. NMR signal degeneracy, relaxation problems, and a paucity of long-range 1Hâ??1H dipolar contacts have limited the utility of traditional NMR approaches....

Cell-free expression and stable isotope labelling strategies for membrane proteins
Cell-free expression and stable isotope labelling strategies for membrane proteins
Abstract Membrane proteins are highly underrepresented in the structural data-base and remain one of the most challenging targets for functional and structural elucidation. Their roles in transport and cellular communication, furthermore, often make over-expression toxic to their host, and their hydrophobicity and structural complexity make isolation and reconstitution a complicated task, especially in cases where proteins are targeted to inclusion bodies. The development of cell-free expression systems...

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...

NMR based screening has become an important tool in the pharmaceutical industry. Methods that provide information on the location of small molecule binding sites on the surface of a drug target (e. g. SAR-by-NMR and related techniques) are of particular interest. In order to extend the applicability of...
