Exploring structural dynamics of a membrane protein by combining bioorthogonal chemistry and cysteine mutagenesis
The functional mechanisms of membrane proteins are extensively investigated with cysteine mutagenesis. To complement cysteine-based approaches, we engineered a membrane protein with thiol-independent crosslinkable groups using azidohomoalanine (AHA), a non-canonical methionine analogue containing an...
