A Simple and Economical Method for the Production of 13C,18O-Labeled Fmoc-Amino Acids with High Levels of Enrichment: Applications to Isotope-Edited IR Studies of Proteins
摘要:
Isotope-edited IR of proteins has generated considerable interest. Double labeling with C-13 and O-18 with high levels of isotopic enrichment is required for residue-specific resolution. Current methods for the preparation of doubly labeled amino acids give modest O-18 enrichment, limiting the utility of the approach. We report a simple and economical method for preparing C-13,O-18-doubly labeled N-(9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl)-amino acids with high levels of enrichment for residues that do not require acid-labile side-chain protecting groups.

least one non-canonical H-bond formed by a serine or threonine residue whose hydroxyl side chain H-bonds to an over-coordinated carbonyl oxygen at position i–4, i–3, or i in the sequence. Isotope-edited FTIR spectroscopy, coupled with DFT calculations, enables us to determine the bond enthalpies, pointing to values that are up to 127% higher than that of a single canonical H-bond. We propose that these
氢键是生物分子结构和相互作用的主要几何决定因素。因此,已经进行了大量分析来研究其详细的能量学。然而,焦点主要集中在包含单个供体和单个受体的 H 键上。在这里,我们测量了三个或更多组之间形成的多重 H 键的普遍性和能量学。我们表明,92% 的跨膜螺旋至少有一个由丝氨酸或苏氨酸残基形成的非规范 H 键,其羟基侧链 H 键与 i-4、i-3 位置的过度配位羰基氧结合,或 i 在序列中。同位素编辑的 FTIR 光谱加上 DFT 计算,使我们能够确定键焓,指向比单个规范 H 键高 127% 的值。

Isotope-edited IR spectroscopy was used to study a series of singly and doubly C-13=O-labeled beta-hairpin peptides stabilized by an Aib-Gly turn sequence. The double-labeled peptides have amide I' IR spectra that show different degrees of vibrational coupling between the C-13-labeled amides due to variations in the local geometry of the peptide structure. The single-labeled peptides provide controls to determine frequencies characteristic of the diagonal force field (FF) contributions at each position for the uncoupled C-13=O modes. Separation of diagonal FF and coupling effects on the spectra are used to explain the cross-strand labeled spectral patterns. DFT calculations based on an idealized model beta-hairpin peptide correctly predict the vibrational coupling patterns. Extending these model results by consideration of frayed ends and the hairpin conformational flexibility yields an alternate interpretation of details of the spectra. Temperature-dependent isotopically labeled IR spectra reveal differences in the thermal stabilities of the individual isotopically labeled sites. This is the first example of using an IR-based isotopic labeling technique to differentiate structural transitions at specific sites along the peptide backbone in model beta-hairpin peptides.
