Abstract An extension to HN(CO-α/β-N,Cα-J)-TROSY (Permi and Annila in J Biomol NMR 16:221â??227, 2000) is proposed that permits the simultaneous determination of the four coupling constants 1 J Nâ?²(i)Cα(i), 2 J HN(i)Cα(i), 2 J Cα(iâ??1)Nâ?²(i), and 3 J Cα(iâ??1)HN(i) in 15N,13C-labeled proteins. Contrasting the original scheme, in which two separate subspectra exhibit the 2 J CαNâ?² coupling as inphase and antiphase splitting (IPAP), we here record four subspectra that exhibit all combinations of inphase and antiphase splittings possible with respect to both 2 J CαNâ?² and 1 J Nâ?²Cα (DIPAP). Complementary sign patterns in the different spectrum constituents overdetermine the coupling constants which can thus be extracted at higher accuracy than is possible with the original experiment. Fully exploiting data redundance, simultaneous 2D lineshape fitting of the E.COSY multiplet tilts in all four subspectra provides all coupling constants at ultimate precision. Cross-correlation and differential-relaxation effects were taken into account in the evaluation procedure. By applying a four-point Fourier transform, the set of spectra is reversibly interconverted between DIPAP and spin-state representations. Methods are exemplified using proteins of various size.

Conformational dependence of 13C shielding and coupling constants for methionine
Abstract Methionine residues fulfill a broad range of roles in protein function related to conformational plasticity, ligand binding, and sensing/mediating the effects of oxidative stress. A high degree of internal mobility, intrinsic detection sensitivity of the methyl group, and low copy number have made methionine labeling a popular approach for NMR investigation of selectively labeled protein macromolecules. However, selective labeling approaches are subject to more limited information content. In order to optimize the information available from such studies, we have performed DFT...

[U. of Ottawa NMR Facility Blog] E.COSY and the Relative Signs of Coupling Constants
E.COSY and the Relative Signs of Coupling Constants
Spin-spin coupling constants can have values greater than or less than zero. The absolute sign of the coupling constants cannot be discerned from the simple examination of a 1H NMR spectrum. The E.COSY1 (Exclusive COrrelation SpectroscopY) technique is one method which can be used to determine the relative signs of coupling constants. E.COSY is a phase sensitive COSY variant which produces off-diagonal signals showing only the active coupling (i.e. the coupling directly responsible for the cross-peak) as 2x2 antiphase square tetrads...
