Detection of open and closed conformations of tryptophan synthase by 15N-heteronuclear single-quantum coherence nuclear magnetic resonance of bound 1-15N-L-tryptophan.

Abstract excerpt

1-15N-L-Tryptophan (1-15N-L-Trp) was synthesized from 15N-aniline by a Sandmeyer reaction, followed by cyclization to isatin, reduction to indole with LiAlH4, and condensation of the 15N-indole with L-serine, catalyzed by tryptophan synthase. 1-15N-L-Trp was complexed with wild-type tryptophan synthase and beta-subunit mutants, betaK87T, betaD305A, and betaE109D, in the absence or presence of the allosteric...
