A simple isotope labeling approach for selective ¹³C/¹⁵N backbone labeling of proteins is described. Using {1,2-¹³C₂}-pyruvate as the sole carbon source in bacterial growth media, selective incorporation of ¹³Cα-¹³CO spin-pairs into the backbones of protein molecules with medium-to-high levels of ¹³C-enrichment is possible for a subset of 12 amino acids. The isotope labeling scheme has been tested on a pair of proteins--a 7-kDa immunoglobulin binding domain B1 of streptococcal protein G and an 82-kDa enzyme malate synthase G. A number of protein NMR applications are expected to benefit from the {1,2-¹³C₂}-pyruvate based protein production.
