Sentence |
denotes |

Compound-Detected In-Cell NMR |
T692 |
652-796 |
Sentence |

T696 |
925-1040 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In the target-detected in-cell NMR only the target of interest is isotopically labeled (i.e., 15N labeled protein). |
T697 |
1041-1183 |
Sentence |
denotes |
For instance, target proteins can be isotopically labeled during cell growth in isotopically enriched (13C, 15N, or both 15N/13C) media [410]. |

1184-1250 |
Sentence |
denotes |

T699 |
1251-1438 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Different cell types, including bacteria [411], oocytes [412], yeast cells [413], mammalian cells [414], HeLa cells [415] and even insect cells [416] have been reported in the literature. |
T700 |
1439-1573 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The fact that in-cell NMR applies to more than one cell type testifies of the versatility and potential application of this technique. |
T701 |
1574-1692 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In terms of labeling, 15N is one of the most commonly used approaches [417] when the targets of interest are proteins. |
T702 |
1693-1790 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Recently, 19F labeling has been reported as a useful probe for protein-ligand interactions [418]. |
T703 |
1791-1892 |
Sentence |
denotes |
It was shown that 19F can reveal information about the dynamics of protein-ligand interactions [419]. |
T704 |
1893-2094 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Methyl groups [420] have also been used as probes for proteins and complexes in vivo [420], proving that labeling specific chemical groups instead of the entire biomolecule (i.e., protein) is feasible. |
T705 |

Sentence |
denotes |
4.3. |
T706 |
2101-2130 |
Sentence |

Reporter-Detected In-Cell NMR |
T707 |
2131-2246 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In-cell NMR extends beyond proteins, and has been applied successfully to DNA [93,421] and RNA molecules [422,423]. |
T708 |
2247-2328 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Telomeric repeats have also been studied using target detected in-cell NMR [424]. |
T709 |
2329-2518 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The reporter-detected in-cell NMR technique isotopically labels neither the ligand nor the target, but rather a receptor that indirectly measures the effects of ligand-target binding [409]. |
T710 |
2519-2579 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The “reporter” varies according to the experimental context. |
T711 |

Sentence |
denotes |

4.4. “In-Virus” NMR Strategy |
T715 |
3051-3266 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In many viruses and phages, scaffolding proteins (SPs) are required to ensure the correct organization of coat proteins (CPs) and other minor capsid proteins into a precursor structure, called a procapsid [428,429]. |
T716 |
3267-3445 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Although SPs are critical for viral assembly and therefore potential therapeutic targets their structural properties (with only a few exceptions [430,431]) are poorly understood. |

Sentence |
denotes |
The size limitation of NMR can be used advantageously as a filter to identify disordered segments even in very large supramolecular protein complexes. |
T718 |

Sentence |
denotes |
In this way, NMR can provide a unique perspective on the dynamic and disordered elements of macromolecules not accessible by other techniques. |
T719 |
3740-4149 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The procapsid encapsulation experiments described by Whitehead et al. [432] were conceptually analogous to in-cell NMR experiments [433,434,435] in which signals from small proteins, or flexible segments of proteins, can be observed when they are incorporated inside living cells, as long as the isotope-labeled proteins of interest do not interact strongly with other large cellular components [433,434,435]. |
T720 |
4150-4421 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The so called ‘‘in-virus’’ NMR strategy applied by Whitehead et al. [432] could be more generally used to study the dynamic properties of macromolecules encapsulated into virus particles, including cargo molecules encased in viral capsids for nanotechnology applications. |
T721 |
4422-4573 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Additionally, such studies could assess the level of interaction of cargo molecules with the virus and probe the release properties of cargo NMR [432]. |
