HNCO/HNCACO type correlation experiments are an alternative for assignment of backbone resonances in extensively deuterated proteins in the solid-state, given the fact that line widths on the order of 14-17 Hz are achieved in the carbonyl dimension without the need of high power decoupling. The achieved resolution demonstrates that MAS solid-state NMR on extensively deuterated proteins is able to compete with solution-state NMR spectroscopy if proteins are investigated with correlation times tau(c) that exceed 25 ns.

J-domain proteins (JDPs) are essential cochaperones of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70), as they bind and deliver misfolded polypeptides while also stimulating ATPase activity, thereby mediating the refolding process and assisting Hsp70 in maintaining cellular proteostasis. Despite their importance, detailed structural information about JDP‒Hsp70 complexes is still being explored due to various technical challenges. One major challenge is the lack of more detailed structural data on full-length JDPs.

ConspectusElectrochemistry has been used as a tool to drive chemical reactions for more than two centuries. With the help of an electrode and a power source, chemists are provided with a system whose potential can be precisely dialed in. The theoretically infinite redox range renders electrochemistry capable of oxidizing or reducing some of the most tenacious compounds.

Hen egg-white lysozyme (HEWL) is a widely used model protein in crystallographic studies and its enzymatic mechanism has been extensively investigated for decades. Despite this, the interaction between the reaction intermediate and the catalytic Asp52, as well as the orientation of Asn44 and Asn46 side chains, remain ambiguous. Here, we report the crystal structures of perdeuterated HEWL and DO buffer-exchanged HEWL from 0.

Understanding the interactions between nanoplastics (NP) and biota is essential for risk assessment. However, NP quantification in complex matrices remains a challenge, especially when they are not labeled. Most labeling strategies consists in adding another compound (fluorophore, metal, lanthanide …) to the polymer, which can alter the NP properties and poses a risk of leaching phenomena.

Hydrogen isotopically labeled compounds have extensive utility across diverse domains, especially in drug discovery and development. However, synthesis of the labeled compounds with exclusive site selectivity and/or high isotope incorporation is challenging. One widely employed method is heterogeneous palladium(0)-catalyzed (such as Pd/C) dehalogenative deuteration and tritiation with D/T gas.
