Visualizing Proteins in Human Cells at Near-Physiological Concentrations with*Sensitive 19F NMR Chemical Tags
In-cell NMR spectroscopy is an effective tool for observing proteins at atomic resolution in their native cellular environment. However, its utility is limited by its low sensitivity and the extensive line broadening caused by nonspecific interactions in the cells, which is even more pronounced in human cells due to the difficulty of overexpressing or delivering high concentrations of isotopically labeled proteins. Here, we present a high-sensitivity tag (wPSP-6F) containing two...

Toward protein NMR at physiological concentrations by hyperpolarized water-Finding and mapping uncharted conformational spaces
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a key method for determining the structural dynamics of proteins in their native solution state. However, the low sensitivity of NMR typically necessitates nonphysiologically high sample concentrations, which often limit the relevance of the recorded data. We show how to use hyperpolarized water by dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (DDNP) to acquire protein spectra at concentrations of 1 ?M within seconds and...
