Residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) provide both structural and dynamical information useful in the characterization of biological macromolecules. While most data come from the interaction of simple pairs of directly bonded spin-1/2 nuclei (1Hâ??15N, 1Hâ??13C, 1Hâ??1H), it is possible to acquire data from interactions among the multiple spins of 13C-labeled methyl groups (1H3â??13C). This is especially important because of the advantages that observation of 13C-labeled methyl groups offers in working with very large molecules. Here we consider some of the options for measurement of methyl RDCs in large and often fully protonated proteins and arrive at a pulse sequence that exploits both J-modulation and direct detection of 13C. Its utility is illustrated by application to a fully protonated two domain fragment from the mammalian glycoprotein, Robo1, 13C-methyl-labeled in all valines.

Simultaneous measurement of 1Hâ??15N and Methyl 1Hmâ??13Cm residual dipolar couplings in large proteins
Simultaneous measurement of 1Hâ??15N and Methyl 1Hmâ??13Cm residual dipolar couplings in large proteins
Abstract A two-dimensional TROSY-based SIM-13Cmâ??1Hm/1Hâ??15N NMR experiment for simultaneous measurements of methyl 1 D CH and backbone amide 1 D NH residual dipolar couplings (RDC) in {U-; Ileδ1-; Leu,Val-}-labeled samples of large proteins is described. Significant variation in the alignment tensor of the 82-kDa enzyme Malate synthase G is observed as a function of only slight changes in experimental conditions. The SIM-13Cmâ??1Hm/1Hâ??15N data sets provide convenient means...

Measurement of 1Hâ??15N and 1Hâ??13C residual dipolar couplings in nucleic acids from TROSY intensities
Abstract Analogous to the recently introduced ARTSY method for measurement of one-bond 1Hâ??15N residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) in large perdeuterated proteins, we introduce methods for measurement of base 13Câ??1H and 15Nâ??1H RDCs in protonated nucleic acids. Measurements are based on quantitative analysis of intensities in 1Hâ??15N and 13Câ??1H TROSY-HSQC spectra, and are illustrated for a 71-nucleotide adenine riboswitch. Results compare favorably with those of conventional...

Rapid measurement of residual dipolar couplings for fast fold elucidation of proteins
Rapid measurement of residual dipolar couplings for fast fold elucidation of proteins
Abstract It has been demonstrated that protein folds can be determined using appropriate computational protocols with NMR chemical shifts as the sole source of experimental restraints. While such approaches are very promising they still suffer from low convergence resulting in long computation times to achieve accurate results. Here we present a suite of time- and sensitivity optimized NMR experiments for rapid measurement of up to six RDCs per residue. Including such an RDC data set, measured in less...

Facile measurement of 1Hâ??15N residual dipolar couplings in larger perdeuterated pro
Abstract We present a simple method, ARTSY, for extracting 1JNH couplings and 1Hâ??15N RDCs from an interleaved set of two-dimensional 1Hâ??15N TROSY-HSQC spectra, based on the principle of quantitative J correlation. The primary advantage of the ARTSY method over other methods is the ability to measure couplings without scaling peak positions or altering the narrow line widths characteristic of TROSY spectra. Accuracy of the method is demonstrated for the model system GB3. Application to the catalytic core domain of HIV integrase, a 36 kDa homodimer with unfavorable spectral...

MQ-HNCO-TROSY for the measurement of scalar and residual dipolar couplings in larger
Abstract We describe a novel pulse sequence, MQ-HNCO-TROSY, for the measurement of scalar and residual dipolar couplings between amide proton and nitrogen in larger proteins. The experiment utilizes the whole 2TN polarization transfer delay for labeling of 15N chemical shift in a constant time manner, which efficiently doubles the attainable resolution in 15N dimension with respect to the conventional HNCO-TROSY experiment. In addition, the accordion principle is employed for measuring (J + D)NHs, and the multiplet components are selected with the generalized version of the TROSY scheme...

Composite Alignment Media for the Measurement of Independent Sets of NMR Residual Dipolar Couplings
Composite Alignment Media for the Measurement of Independent Sets of NMR Residual Dipolar Couplings
Ke Ruan and Joel R. Tolman
J. Am. Chem. Soc.; 2005; 127(43) pp 15032 - 15033;
Abstract:
The measurement of independent sets of NMR residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) in multiple alignment media can provide a detailed view of biomolecular structure and dynamics, yet remains experimentally challenging. It is demonstrated here that independent sets of RDCs can be measured for ubiquitin using just a single alignment medium composed of aligned bacteriophage Pf1 particles embedded in a...
