Nitroxides can ameliorate the toxic effects of radiation during cancer therapy. Nitroxides are paramagnetic and can be used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electron paramagnetic resonance imaging (EPRI) to monitor in vivo oxidative stress status. Compound 5 (3-(N-piperidinemethyl)-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-1-oxy-3-pyrroline) was found to be the most effective nitroxide radioprotector. An efficient synthesis for this promising radioprotector was developed.

Spin-labeled amino acids (SLAAs) are often used to determine intermolecular distances and conformations in proteins via double electron-electron resonance. Currently available SLAAs can be difficult to incorporate selectively and have little resemblance to natural side chains in proteins. Enantioselective synthesis of three spin-labeled l-amino acids is described, starting from readily available 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinone. These SLAAs better replicate canonical residues in proteins and aim for biological incorporation via genetic incorporation or solid-phase peptide synthesis.

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy is a powerful method to elucidate molecular structure through the measurement of distances between conformationally well-defined spin labels. Here we report a sequence-flexible approach to the synthesis of double spin-labeled DNA duplexes, where 2′-alkynylnucleosides are incorporated at terminal and internal positions on complementary strands. Post-DNA synthesis copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reactions with a variety of spin labels enable the use of double electron-electron resonance experiments to measure a number of distances on the duplex, affording a high level of detailed structural information.

The invention relates to a non-canonical amino acid of the formula I, namely A - L - X, A is a lysine or a tyrosine, L is a linker or absent, and X is an aminoxyl radical, and if A is lysine, L is bound to the N-epsilon atom of the lysine or, if L is absent, X is bound to the N-epsilon atom of the lysine; and if A is tyrosine, L is bound to the phenolic hydroxyl of the tyrosine or, if L is absent, X is bound to the phenolic hydroxyl of the tyrosine. Moreover, the invention also relates to a method for introducing a spin label into a protein and to a modified pyrrolysyl-tRNA-synthetase.
