Abstract
A procedure is described for the synthetic incorporation into membrane proteins of the non-natural amino acid TOAC (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidine-1-oxyl-4-amino-4-carboxylic acid), which is coupled rigidly to the alpha-carbon, providing direct detection of peptide backbone dynamics by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Also included is a protocol for the functional reconstitution of the spin-labeled protein in lipid vesicles. This protocol can be completed in 17 d.Entities:
