A simple triple resonance NMR experiment that leads to the correlation of the backbone amide resonances of each amino acid residue â??iâ?? with that of residues â??iâ??1â?? and â??i+1â?? in (13C, 15N) labelled intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) is presented. The experimental scheme, {HN-NCA heteronuclear TOCSY-NH}, exploits the favourable relaxation properties of IDPs and the presence of 1 J CαN and 2 J CαN couplings to transfer the 15N x magnetisation from amino acid residue â??iâ?? to adjacent residues via the application of a band-selective 15Nâ??13Cα heteronuclear cross-polarisation sequence of ~100Â*ms duration. Employing non-uniform sampling in the indirect dimensions, the efficacy of the approach has been demonstrated by the acquisition of 3D HNN chemical shift correlation spectra of α-synuclein. The experimental performance of the RF pulse sequence has been compared with that of the conventional INEPT-based HN(CA)NH pulse scheme. As the availability of data from both the HCCNH and HNN experiments will make it possible to use the information extracted from one experiment to simplify the analysis of the data of the other and lead to a robust approach for unambiguous backbone and side-chain resonance assignments, a time-saving strategy for the simultaneous collection of HCCNH and HNN data is also described.

Abstract
An efficient approach to NMR assignments in intrinsically disordered proteins is presented, making use of the good dispersion of cross peaks observed in - and -correlation spectra. The method involves the simultaneous collection of {3D (H)NCO(CAN)H and 3D...
A six-dimensional alpha proton detection-based APSY experiment for backbone assignment of intrinsically disordered proteins
A six-dimensional alpha proton detection-based APSY experiment for backbone assignment of intrinsically disordered proteins
Abstract
Sequence specific resonance assignment is the prerequisite for the NMR-based analysis of the conformational ensembles and their underlying dynamics of intrinsically disordered proteins. However, rapid solvent exchange in intrinsically disordered proteins often complicates assignment strategies based on HN-detection. Here we present a six-dimensional alpha proton detection-based automated projection spectroscopy (APSY)...

4D Non-uniformly sampled HCBCACON and 1J(NCα)-selective HCBCANCO experiments for the sequential assignment and chemical shift analysis of intrinsically disordered proteins
4D Non-uniformly sampled HCBCACON and 1J(NCα)-selective HCBCANCO experiments for the sequential assignment and chemical shift analysis of intrinsically disordered proteins
Abstract A pair of 4D NMR experiments for the backbone assignment of disordered proteins is presented. The experiments exploit 13C direct detection and non-uniform sampling of the indirectly detected dimensions, and provide correlations of the aliphatic proton (Hα, and Hβ) and carbon (Cα, Cβ) resonance frequencies to the protein backbone. Thus, all the chemical shifts regularly used to map the transient...

Simultaneous acquisition of 13Cαâ??15N and 1Hâ??15Nâ??15N sequential correlations in proteins: application of dual receivers in 3D HNN
Simultaneous acquisition of 13Cαâ??15N and 1Hâ??15Nâ??15N sequential correlations in proteins: application of dual receivers in 3D HNN
Abstract We describe here, adaptation of the HNN pulse sequence for multiple nuclei detection using two independent receivers by utilizing the detectable 13Cα transverse magnetization which was otherwise dephased out in the conventional HNN experiment. It enables acquisition of 2D 13Cαâ??15N sequential correlations along with the standard 3D 15Nâ??15Nâ??1H correlations, which provides directionality to sequential walk in HNN, on one hand, and enhances...
