Escherichia coli isolates that were tolerant of incorporation of high proportions of 4-fluorotryptophan were evolved by serial growth. The resultant strain still preferred tryptophan for growth but showed improved growth relative to the parental strain on other tryptophan analogues. Evolved

The 2.2 A crystal structure of a ternary complex formed by yeast arginyl-tRNA synthetase and its cognate tRNA(Arg) in the presence of the L-arginine substrate highlights new atomic features used for specific substrate recognition. This first example of an active

We have obtained the 470 MHz 19F NMR spectra of wild type [4-F]Trp-labeled myoglobins (MbCO, MbO2, deoxyMb, metMb, and MbCN) and hemoglobins (HbCO, HbO2, and deoxyHb), as well as those of several mutants (W7F Mb, betaW15F Hb, betaW37S Hb, and

Bacillus subtilis strain QB928, a tryptophan-auxotroph, was serially mutated to yield strain HR15. For QB928, tryptophan functioned as a competent amino acid and 4-fluorotryptophan as merely an inferior analogue. For HR15, these roles were reversed. The tryptophan/4-fluorotryptophan growth ratio decreased

The 19F nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of 4-fluorotryptophan (4-F-Trp)-labeled Escherichia coli arginyl-tRNA synthetase (ArgRS) show that there are distinct conformational changes in the catalytic core and tRNA anticodon stem and loop-binding domain of the enzyme, when arginine and tRNA(Arg)
