Research Abstract |
We have improved and/or developed two methods for NMR signal assignments of large proteins with less amount of sample. At first, we improved NMR pulse programs for MAGICAL method that we previously developed with the intelligent stable isotope labeling techniques. As a result, the sensitivity of NMR measurements was dramatically enhanced by 30%. Second, we developed a new method for site-directed stable isotope labeling by changing two kinds of tRNAs of major codon and minor codon for the same amino acid. With these methods, it was indicated that NMR signals of proteins could be assigned which were difficult to analyze by using traditional NMR techniques.
