This paper describes the NMR observation of 15N---15N and 1H---15N scalar couplings across the hydrogen bonds in Watson-Crick base pairs in a DNA duplex, hJNN and hJHN. These couplings represent new parameters of interest for both structural studies of DNA and theoretical investigations into the nature of the hydrogen bonds. Two dimensional [15N,1H]-transverse relaxation-optimized spectroscopy (TROSY) with a 15N-labeled 14-mer DNA duplex was used to measure hJNN, which is in the range 6-7 Hz, and the two-dimensional hJNN-correlation-[15N,1H]-TROSY experiment was used to correlate the chemical shifts of pairs of hydrogen bond-related 15N spins and to observe, for the first time, hJHN scalar couplings, with values in the range 2-3.6 Hz. TROSY-based studies of scalar couplings across hydrogen bonds should be applicable for large molecular sizes, including protein-bound nucleic acids.

NMR signals arising from the HisB5 N delta H and HisEF5 N epsilon H protons in sperm whale skeletal and horse heart myoglobins have been located for the first time in the downfield shifted portion of the spectra. The shifts and hydrogen exchange rates indicate that these His imidazole ring NH protons are involved in the inter-segmental hydrogen bonds...

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...

S3EPY: a Sparky extension for determination of small scalar couplings from spin-state
Abstract S3EPY is a Python extension to the program Sparky written to facilitate the assessment of coupling constants from in-phase/antiphase and spin-state-selective excitation (S3E) experiments. It enables the routine use of small scalar couplings by automating the coupling evaluation procedure. S3EPY provides an integrated graphical user interface to programs which outputs graphs and the table of determined couplings.
