Determination of DNA Structure in Solution: Enzymatic Deuteration of the Ribose 2‘ Carbon
摘要:
An enzymatic solution to the problem of obtaining 13C/15N-labeled nucleotides that are deuterated uniquely at the H2' ' position within the ribose ring is presented. Selective deuteration occurs with an overall yield of >80%. The deuteron at the H2' ' position allows measurement of the scalar and residual dipolar couplings for the bond vectors attached to the C2' carbon of each ribose sugar. These data allow the accurate determination of sugar conformation. Interesting DNA double helices of 2-3 turns are now within the reach of solution NMR spectroscopy. As an example, these labeled nucleotides are incorporated uniquely at positions 6-14 in a 20-bp DNA sequence containing the adenovirus major late promoter.

Flavin nucleotides, i.e. flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), are utilized as prosthetic groups and/or substrates by a myriad of proteins, ranging from metabolic enzymes to light receptors. Isotopically labeled flavins have served as invaluable tools in probing the structure and function of these flavoproteins. Here we present an enzymatic synthesis of several radio- and stable-isotope labeled flavin nucleotides from commercially available labeled riboflavin and ATP. The synthetic procedure employs a bifunctional enzyme, Corynebacterium ammoniagenes FAD synthetase, that sequentially converts riboflavin to FMN and then to FAD. The final flavin product (FMN or FAD) is controlled by the concentration of ATP in the reaction. Utility of the synthesized labeled FAD cofactors is demonstrated in flavin-dependent thymidylate synthase. The described synthetic approach can be easily applied to the production of flavin nucleotide analogues from riboflavin precursors.

the substrate of the radical SAM enzyme HydE, with the generated 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical attacking the cysteine S to form a C5'-S bond concomitant with reduction of the central low-spin Fe(II) to the Fe(I) oxidation state. This leads to the cleavage of the cysteine C3-S bond, producing a mononuclear [FeI(CO)2(CN)S] species that serves as the precursor to the dinuclear Fe(I)Fe(I) center of [2Fe]H-subcluster

tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) is a highly specific and sensitive technique for measuring metabolites. However, coeluting components in tissue extracts can interfere with ionization at the interface of the LC and MS/MS phases, causing under- or overestimation of metabolite concentrations. Spiking of samples with known amounts of stable-isotope-labeled internalstandards (SIL-IS) allows measurements
