Application of triple-resonance and isotope-edited-NOE methods to the study of increasingly larger macromolecules and their complexes remains a central goal of solution NMR spectroscopy. The slow reorientational motion of larger molecules leads to rapid transverse relaxation and results in losses in both resolution and sensitivity of multidimensional-multinuclear solution NMR experiments. A recently described technique employs a physical approach to increase the tumbling rate of macromolecules in an attempt to preserve access to the full range of structural restraints available to studies of smaller systems. This technique involves encapsulation of a hydrated protein in a surfactant shell which is subsequently solubilized in a low viscosity solvent. A simple, efficient and cost effective NMR cell that accommodates the moderate liquefaction pressures required in the encapsulation method is described. Application of the method to the 56 kD triose phosphate isomerase homodimer is demonstrated.

Abstract Comprehensive application of solution NMR spectroscopy to studies of macromolecules remains fundamentally limited by the molecular rotational correlation time. For proteins, molecules larger than 30 kDa require complex experimental methods, such as TROSY in conjunction with isotopic labeling schemes that are often expensive and generally reduce the potential information available. We have developed the reverse micelle encapsulation strategy as an alternative approach. Encapsulation of...

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...

Many of the difficulties presented by large, aggregation-prone, and membrane proteins to modern solution NMR spectroscopy can be alleviated by actively seeking to increase the effective rate of molecular reorientation. An emerging approach involves encapsulating the protein of interest within the protective shell of a...

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...
