In this video, we demonstrate the in-cell nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy technique to study protein-ligand interactions between unlabeled overexpressed proteins and small molecules. The successful ligand-protein interaction is confirmed visually by the appearance of an additional set of peaks in the spectral region of interest that gradually replaces the original peaks.
Protocol
1. Reagent and solution setup To prepare complete DMEM, add 5 mL L-glutamine 200 mM, 5 mL penicillin-streptomycin 100x, and 50 mL fetal bovine serum (FBS, 10% vol/vol final concentration) to 440 mL DMEM. NOTE: This solution can be stored at 4 °C for 1 month. Prepare agarose solution by dissolving 150 mg of low-gelling agarose in 10 mL of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at 85 °C to obtain a 1.5% (w/v) solution. Sterilize…
