Intersubunit communication in tryptophan synthase by carbon-13 and fluorine-19 REDOR NMR.

abstract：:Ankyrin repeat (AR) proteins possess a distinctive modular and repetitive architecture, and their global folds are maintained by short-range interactions in terms of the primary sequence. In this work, we extended our previous study on the highly conserved TPLH tetrapeptide and investigated the impact of a solvent-exp...
