      Luna, Rafael E.; Arthanari, Haribabu; Hiraishi, Hiroyuki; Nanda, Jagpreed; Martin-Marcos, Pilar; Markus, Michelle A.; Akabayov, Barak; Milbradt, Alexander G.; Luna, Lunet E.; Seo, Hee-Chan; Hyberts, Sven G.; Fahmy, Amr; Reibarkh, Mikhail; Miles, David; Hagner, Patrick R.; O'Day, Elizabeth M.; Yi, Tingfang; Marintchev, Assen; Hinnebusch, Alan G.; Lorsch, John R.; Asano, Katsura; Wagner, Gerhard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-06-28)
      Recognition of the proper start codon on mRNAs is essential for protein synthesis, which requires scanning and involves eukaryotic initiation factors (eIFs) eIF1, eIF1A, eIF2, and eIF5. The carboxyl terminal domain (CTD) ...
    • Unequivocal structure confirmation of a breitfussin analog by anisotropic NMR measurements 

      Ndukwe, Ikenna E.; Lam, Yu-hong; Pandey, Sunil Kumar; Haug, Bengt Erik; Bayer, Annette; Sherer, Edward C.; Blinov, Kirill A.; Williamson, R. Thomas; Isaksson, Johan; Reibarkh, Mikhail; Liu, Yizhou; Martin, Gary E. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Structural features of proton-deficient heteroaromatic natural products, such as the breitfussins, can severely complicate their characterization by NMR spectroscopy. For the breitfussins in particular, the constitution ...
