NMR Studies of Large Protein Dynamics Using Unnatural Amino Acids
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a major method used to study protein structure at atomic resolution. Besides presenting the high-resolution structure, NMR facilitates studies on protein dynamics near physiological conditions that are intimately ...

Metabolism of amino acid amides in Pseudomonas putida ATCC 12633 [PDF]
The metabolism of the natural amino acid L-valine, the unnatural amino acids D-valine, and D-, L-phenylglycine (D-, L-PG), and the unnatural amino acid amides D-, L-phenylglycine amide (D, L-PG-NH2) and L-valine amide (L-Val-NH2) was studied in ...

Selective quantitative N-functionalization of unprotected α-amino acids using NHC-Ir(III) catalyst
Summary: Unnatural amino acids are valuable building blocks with numerous applications. Here, we present a quantitative technique for accessing mono-N-functionalized amino acids directly from unprotected substrates using alcohols as alkylating agents and

Genetically Encoded Photo-cross-linkers Map the Binding Site of an Allosteric Drug on a G Protein-Coupled Receptor [PDF]
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are dynamic membrane proteins that bind extracellular molecules to transduce signals. Although GPCRs represent the largest class of therapeutic targets, only a small percentage of their ligand-binding sites are ...

Novel Crown Ether Amino Acids as Fluorescent Reporters for Metal Ions
Unnatural amino acids with enhanced properties, such as increased complexing ability and luminescence, are considered to be highly attractive building blocks for bioinspired frameworks, such as probes for biomolecule dynamics, sensitive fluorescent ...

Protecting‐Group‐Free Amidation of Amino Acids using Lewis Acid Catalysts [PDF]
Amidation of unprotected amino acids has been investigated using a variety of ‘classical“ coupling reagents, stoichiometric or catalytic group(IV) metal salts, and boron Lewis acids.

Expanding the genetic code of Mus musculus
Expanding the genetic code with unnatural amino acids in model organisms is a powerful tool for investigatingin vivocellular proteins and processes. Here the authors re-engineer the amber stop codon in laboratory mice to allow site-specific incorporation
