Short summary
A protein is produced where a single amino acid type is substituted globally by a fluorinated analogue. Through-space fluorine–fluorine contacts are observed by 19F NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectroscopy. Substitution of methyl groups by CH2F groups yields outstanding spectral resolution with minimal structural perturbation of the protein. Our work identifies the γ-gauche effect as the main reason for the spectral dispersion.
