m-Fluoro-DL-phenylalanine, a toxic antimetabolite, is a racemic mixture of a substituted (halogenated) benzoyl D and L phenylalanine with potential use in antiviral and antimicrobial drug development.

Efficient bioconversion of glucose to phenol via the central metabolite tyrosine was achieved in the solvent-tolerant strain Pseudomonas putida S12. The tpl gene from Pantoea agglomerans, encoding tyrosine phenol lyase, was introduced into P. putida S12 to enable phenol production.

Voltage-gated sodium channels (NaV) play an important role in general anesthesia. Electrophysiology measurements suggest that volatile anesthetics such as isoflurane inhibit NaV by stabilizing the inactivated state or altering the inactivation kinetics. Recent computational studies suggested the existence of multiple

Traditional single site replacement mutations (in this case, phenylalanine to tyrosine) were compared with methods which exclusively employ (15)N and (19)F-edited two- and three-dimensional NMR experiments for purposes of assigning (19)F NMR resonances from calmodulin (CaM), biosynthetically labeled with 3-fluorophenylalanine

A wild-type parent of Brevibacterium lactofermentum was converted into an L-Tyr producer by three steps of genetic breeding. First, acquirement of m-fluoro-D, L-phenylalanine resistance (1,000 microgram/ml) brought about MF1317 which produced 3.5 g/l of L-Tyr and a byproduct of 2.8

In protein NMR experiments which employ nonnative labeling, incomplete enrichment is often associated with inhomogeneous line broadening due to the presence of multiple labeled species. We investigate the merits of fractional enrichment strategies using a monofluorinated phenylalanine species, where resolution
