Site-Specific Isotope Labeling of FliG for Studying Structural Dynamics Using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

Methods Mol Biol. 2023:2646:57-70. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-3060-0_6.

Abstract

To understand flagella-driven motility of bacteria, it is important to understand the structure and dynamics of the flagellar motor machinery. We have conducted structural dynamics analyses using solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to elucidate the detailed functions of flagellar motor proteins. Here, we introduce the analysis of the FliG protein, which is a flagellar motor protein, focusing on the preparation method of the original stable isotope-labeled protein.

Keywords: NMR; SAIL amino acids; Stable isotope labeling; TROSY.
