M-Fluorotyrosine (m-Fluoro-DL-tyrosine) may be substituted for tyrosine in the biosynthesis of proteins such as β-galactosidases (Escherichia coli), bacteriorhodopsin and intestinal microvillar enzymes, eg. aminopeptidase N, to study the effect of halogenated tryosines on the proteins properties.

Fluorine NMR is a useful tool to probe protein folding, conformation and local topology owing to the sensitivity of the chemical shift to the local electrostatic environment. As an example we make use of (19)F NMR and 3-fluorotyrosine to evaluate

The complex Re(bpy)(CO)3CN is an excited state oxidant of tyrosine upon deprotonation of the tyrosyl phenol. A series of Re(bpy-FnY)(CO)3CN complexes ([Re]-FnY: [Re]-Y, [Re]-3-FY, [Re]-3,5-F2Y, [Re]-2,3-F2Y, [Re]-2,3,5-F3Y, [Re]-2,3,6-F3Y, and [Re]-F4Y) have been prepared so as to vary the FnY*/FnY- reduction
The tracer 6-[18F]fluoro-L-m-tyrosine (FMT) was studied with regard to its biochemistry and kinetics, as well as its utility in evaluating brain dopaminergic function in primates before and after 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) treatment using positron emission tomography (PET). Plasma analysis of FMT

The structure of the tetradeca-(3-fluorotyrosyl) M1-1 GSH transferase (3-FTyr GSH transferase), a protein in which tyrosine residues are globally substituted by 3-fluorotyrosines has been determined at 2.2 A resolution. This variant was produced to study the effect on the enzymatic
Global replacements of tyrosine by 2- and 3-fluorotyrosine in "enhanced green" and "enhanced yellow" mutants of Aequorea victoria green fluorescent proteins (avGFPs) provided protein variants with novel biophysical properties. While crystallographic and modeled structures of these proteins are indistinguishable from
