Abstract excerpt
When incorporated into proteins, fluorinated amino acids have been utilized as 19F NMR probes of protein structure and protein-ligand interactions, and as subtle structural replacements for their parent amino acids which is not possible using the standard 20-amino acid repertoire. Recent investigations have shown the ability of various fluorinated methionines, such as difluoromethionine (DFM) and...
