A fast, robust and reliable strategy for automated sequential resonance assignment for uniformly [13C, 15N]-labeled RNA via its phosphodiester backbone is presented. It is based on a series of high-dimensional through-bond APSY experiments: a 5D HCP-CCH COSY, a 4D H1â?²C1â?²CH TOCSY for ribose resonances, a 5D HCNCH for ribose-to-base connection, a 4D H6C6C5H5 TOCSY for pyrimidine resonances, and a 4D H8C8(C)C2H2 TOCSY for adenine resonances. The utilized pulse sequences are partially novel, and optimized to enable long evolution times in all dimensions. The highly precise APSY peak lists derived with these experiments could be used directly for reliable automated resonance assignment with the FLYA algorithm. This approach resulted in 98Â*% assignment completeness for all 13Câ??1H, 15N1/9 and 31P resonances of a stem-loop with 14 nucleotides.

Abstract
A procedure is presented for automated sequence-specific assignment of NMR resonances of uniformly -labeled RNA. The method is based on a suite of four through-bond and two through-space high-dimensional automated projection spectroscopy (APSY) experiments. The approach is exemplified with a 0.3Â*mM sample of an RNA stem-loop with 48 nucleotides, K10, which is responsible for dynein-mediated localization of Drosophila ...

High dimensional and high resolution pulse sequences for backbone resonance assignment of intrinsically disordered proteins
High dimensional and high resolution pulse sequences for backbone resonance assignment of intrinsically disordered proteins
Abstract Four novel 5D (HACA(N)CONH, HNCOCACB, (HACA)CON(CA)CONH, (H)NCO(NCA)CONH), and one 6D ((H)NCO(N)CACONH) NMR pulse sequences are proposed. The new experiments employ non-uniform sampling that enables achieving high resolution in indirectly detected dimensions. The experiments facilitate resonance assignment of intrinsically disordered proteins. The novel pulse sequences were successfully tested using δ subunit (20 kDa) of Bacillus subtilis RNA polymerase...

Sugar-to-base correlation in nucleic acids with a 5D APSY-HCNCH or two 3D APSY-HCN experiments
Sugar-to-base correlation in nucleic acids with a 5D APSY-HCNCH or two 3D APSY-HCN experiments
Abstract A five-dimensional (5D) APSY (automated projection spectroscopy) HCNCH experiment is presented, which allows unambiguous correlation of sugar to base nuclei in nucleic acids. The pulse sequence uses multiple quantum (MQ) evolution which enables long constant-time evolution periods in all dimensions, an improvement that can also benefit non-APSY applications. Applied with an RNA with 23 nucleotides the 5D APSY-HCNCH experiment produced a complete and highly precise 5D chemical shift...

4D APSY-HBCB(CG)CDHD experiment for automated assignment of aromatic amino acid side chains in proteins
4D APSY-HBCB(CG)CDHD experiment for automated assignment of aromatic amino acid side chains in proteins
Abstract A four-dimensional (4D) APSY (automated projection spectroscopy)-HBCB(CG)CDHD experiment is presented. This 4D experiment correlates aromatic with aliphatic carbon and proton resonances from the same amino acid side chain of proteins in aqueous solution. It thus allows unambiguous sequence-specific assignment of aromatic amino acid ring signals based on backbone assignments. Compared to conventional 2D approaches, the inclusion of evolution periods on 1Hβ and 13Cδ...

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) play important roles in many critical cellular processes. Due to their limited chemical shift dispersion, IDPs often require four pairs of resonance connectivities (H?, C?, C? and CO) for establishing sequential backbone assignment. Because most conventional 4-D...
