Inter-residue through-space scalar 19F–19F couplings between CH2F groups in a protein [PDF]
Using cell-free protein synthesis, the protein G B1 domain (GB1) was prepared with uniform high-level substitution of leucine by (2S,4S)-5-fluoroleucine (FLeu1), (2S,4R)-5-fluoroleucine (FLeu2), or 5,5′-difluoroleucine (diFLeu).
