The generation of efficient RN n νs,νk symmetry-based low-power RF pulse schemes for simultaneous 15Nâ??13CA and 15Nâ??13CO dipolar recoupling is demonstrated. The method involves mixing schemes employing phase and amplitude-modulated dual band-selective 180° pulses as basic â??Râ?? element and tailoring of the RF field-modulation profile of the 180° pulses so as to obtain efficient magnetisation transfer characteristics over the resonance offset range of the nuclei involved. Mixing schemes leading to simultaneous 15Nâ??13CA and 15Nâ??13CO dipolar recoupling would permit the one-shot acquisition of different chemical shift correlation spectra that are typically utilized for protein backbone resonance assignments and thereby save data acquisition time. At representative MAS frequencies the efficacies of the mixing schemes presented here have been experimentally demonstrated via the simultaneous acquisition of {3D CONH and 3D CANH}, {3D CONH and 3D CO(CA)NH} and {3D CONH, 3D CANH, 3D CO(CA)NH and 3D CA(CO)NH} spectra generated via the magnetisation transfer pathways 1HÂ*â??Â*13COÂ*â??Â*15NÂ*â??Â*1H (CONH), 1HÂ*â??Â*13CAÂ*â??Â*15NÂ*â??Â*1H (CANH) and 1HÂ*â??Â*13COÂ*â??Â*13CAÂ*â??Â*15NÂ*â??Â*1H (CO(CA)NH) and 1HÂ*â??Â*13CAÂ*â??Â*13COÂ*â??Â*15NÂ*â??Â*1H (CA(CO)NH).

Recent structural studies of uniformly 15N, 13C-labeled proteins by solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) rely principally on two sources of structural restraints: (i) restraints on backbone conformation from isotropic 15N and 13C chemical shifts, based on empirical correlations between chemical shifts and...

Solid state NMR of proteins at high MAS frequencies: symmetry-based mixing and simultaneous acquisition of chemical shift correlation spectra
Abstract We have carried out chemical shift correlation experiments with symmetry-based mixing sequences at high MAS frequencies and examined different strategies to simultaneously acquire 3D correlation spectra that are commonly required in the structural studies of proteins. The potential of numerically optimised symmetry-based mixing sequences and the simultaneous recording of chemical shift correlation spectra such as: 3D NCAC and 3D NHH...

Chemical shift correlation at high MAS frequencies employing low-power symmetry-based mixing schemes
Chemical shift correlation at high MAS frequencies employing low-power symmetry-based mixing schemes
Abstract An approach for conveniently implementing low-power CN n ν and RN n ν symmetry-based band-selective mixing sequences for generating homo- and heteronuclear chemical shift correlation NMR spectra of low γ nuclei in biological solids is demonstrated. Efficient magnetisation transfer characteristics are achieved by selecting appropriate symmetries requiring the application of basic RF elements of relatively long duration and numerically tailoring the RF field modulation profile...
Broadband 15Nâ??13C dipolar recoupling via symmetry-based RF pulse schemes at high MA
Abstract An approach for generating efficient
RNnnS, nk symmetry-based dual channel RF pulse schemes for γ-encoded broadband 15Nâ??13C dipolar recoupling at high magic angle spinning frequencies is presented. The method involves the numerical optimisation of the RF phase-modulation profile of the basic â??Râ?? element so as to obtain heteronuclear double quantum dipolar recoupling sequences with satisfactory magnetisation transfer characteristics. The basic â??Râ?? element was implemented as a sandwich of a small number of short pulses of equal duration with each pulse characterised by...
