Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a uniquely powerful tool for studying the structure, dynamics and interactions of biomolecules at atomic resolution. In the past 15 years, the development of new isotopic labeling strategies has opened the possibility of exploiting NMR spectroscopy in the study of supra-molecular complexes with molecular weights of up to 1MDa. At the core of these isotopic labeling developments is the specific introduction of [(1)H,(13)C]-labeled methyl probes into perdeuterated proteins. Here, we describe the evolution of these approaches and discuss their impact on structural and biological studies. The relevant protocols are succinctly reviewed for single and combinatorial isotopic-labeling of methyl-containing residues, and examples of applications on challenging biological systems, including high molecular weight and membrane proteins, are presented.

Optimal methyl labeling for studies of supra-molecular systems
Abstract Selective methyl labeling combined with HMQC spectroscopy that exploits a TROSY effect in 13CH3 spin systems has significantly extended the utility of solution NMR spectroscopy in studies of high molecular weight particles. Herein we compare the utility of 13CH3- versus 13CHD2-labeling of Ile, Leu, Val probes in supra-molecular systems through quantification of relative signal-to-noise ratios in optimized spectra of highly deuterated, 13CH3- and 13CHD2-labeled samples of the half proteasome (α7α7, 360 kDa). It is shown that the sensitivity of spectra recorded on Ile, Leu, Val...
