γ effects identify preferentially populated rotamers of CH2F groups: side-chain conformations of fluorinated valine analogues in a protein [PDF]
Using cell-free protein synthesis, the protein G B1 domain (GB1) was prepared with uniform high-level substitution of valine by (2S,3S)-4-fluorovaline, (2S,3R)-4-fluorovaline or 4,4'-difluorovaline.

using Boc chemistry solid phase peptide synthesis
Bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) is a well‐studied model for investigation of protein folding and stability. Here, we report the synthesis and characterization of wild‐type BPTI and a diastereomeric protein analogue [Gly37D‐Ala]BPTI.

A practical synthesis of the 13C/15N-labelled tripeptide N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe, useful as a reference in solid-state NMR spectroscopy [PDF]
A mild synthetic method for N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe-OH (1) is described. After Fmoc solid phase peptide synthesis, on-bead formylation and HPLC purification, more than 30 mg of the fully 13C/15N-labelled tripeptide 1 could be isolated in a typical batch ...

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry
Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the
