摘要
Because of their negatively charged carboxylates, aspartate and glutamate are frequently found at the active or binding site of proteins. However, studying a specific carboxylate in proteins that contain multiple aspartates and/or glutamates via infrared spectroscopy is difficult due to spectral overlap. We show, herein, that isotopic-labeling of the aspartate sidechain can overcome this limitation as the resultant (COO)-C-13 asymmetric stretching vibration resides in a transparent region of the protein IR spectrum. Applicability of this site-specific vibrational probe is demonstrated by using it to assess the dynamics of an aspartate ion buried inside a small protein via two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy.
