Organoarsenic probes to study proteins by NMR spectroscopy

Chem Commun (Camb). 2022 Jan 13;58(5):701-704. doi: 10.1039/d1cc06497e.

Abstract

Arsenical probes enable structural studies of proteins. We report the first organoarsenic probes for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy to study proteins in solutions. These probes can be attached to irregular loop regions. A lanthanide-binding tag induces sizable pseudocontact shifts in protein NMR spectra of a magnitude never observed for small paramagnetic probes before.
