Site-specific labeling of proteins for NMR studies

摘要

Methods of producing and/or analyzing spectroscopically labeled proteins, e.g., proteins site-specifically labeled with NMR active isotopes, spin-labels, chelators for paramagnetic metals, and the like, are provided. The labeled proteins are produced in translation systems including orthogonal aminoacyl tRNA synthetase/tRNA pairs. Methods for assigning NMR resonances, e.g., methods using isotopically labeled proteins, are also provided.
