High sensitivity and resolution solid-state NMR methods are reported, that straightforwardly select hydrogen-bonded ^(15)N-^(17)O pairs from amongst all other nitrogen and oxygen sites in peptides, to aid protein secondary and tertiary structure determination. Significantly improved sensitivity is obtained with indirect ¹H detection under fast MAS and stronger relayed dipole couplings.

MAS NMR detection of hydrogen bonds for protein secondary structure characterization
Abstract
Hydrogen bonds are essential for protein structure and function, making experimental access to long-range interactions between amide protons and heteroatoms invaluable. Here we show that measuring distance restraints involving backbone hydrogen atoms and carbonyl- or α-carbons enables the identification of secondary structure elements based on hydrogen bonds, provides long-range contacts and validates spectral assignments. To this end, we apply specifically...

Characterization of doubly ionic hydrogen bonds in protic ionic liquids by NMR deuteron quadrupole coupling constants - Differences to H-bonds in amides, peptides and proteins
We present the first deuteron quadrupole coupling constants (DQCC) for selected protic ionic liquids (PILs) measured by solid-state NMR spectroscopy. The experimental data are supported by dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT-D3) calculations and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The DQCCs of the N-D bond in the triethylammonium cations are the lowest reported for deuterons in PILs indicating...

Direct 13 C-detected NMR experiments for mapping and characterization of hydrogen bonds in RNA
Abstract
In RNA secondary structure determination, it is essential to determine whether a nucleotide is base-paired and not. Base-pairing of nucleotides is mediated by hydrogen bonds. The NMR characterization of hydrogen bonds relies on experiments correlating the NMR resonances of exchangeable protons and can be best performed for structured parts of the RNA, where labile hydrogen atoms are protected from solvent exchange. Functionally important regions in...
