Selective 15N-labeling of the side-chain amide groups of asparagine and glutamine for applications in paramagnetic NMR spectroscopy
The side-chain amide groups of asparagine and glutamine play important roles in stabilizing the structural fold of proteins, participating in hydrogen-bonding networks and protein interactions. Selective 15N-labe...

Suppression of isotope scrambling in cell-free protein synthesis by broadband inhibition of PLP enymes for selective 15N-labelling and production of perdeuterated proteins in H2O
Selectively isotope labelled protein samples can be prepared in vivo or in vitro from selectively labelled amino acids but, in many cases, metabolic conversions between different amino acids result in isotope ...

Measurement of dissociation constants of high-molecular weight protein–protein complexes by transferred 15N-relaxation
The use of 15N-relaxation data for determination of the dissociation constant of a protein–protein complex is proposed for the situation where a 15N-labeled protein is bound to an unlabeled protein of high molecu...
