A pair of NMR experiments is developed for separation of individual fast-relaxing transitions in 13CH3 methyl groups of methyl-protonated, highly deuterated proteins, and the measurement of their relaxation rates. Intra-methyl 1H-1H/1H-13C dipole-dipole cross-correlated spin relaxation that differentiates the rates of the fast-relaxing transitions depending on the state of 13C spins, is measured in the selectively [13CH3]-methyl-labeled, deuterated ubiquitin at 10, 27, and 40 °C. In contrast with previous observations, the 1H-1H/1H-13C cross-correlated relaxation rates measured from relaxation rates of single-quantum proton transitions serve as good measures of side-chain order even in proteins with global rotational correlation times significantly less than 10 ns.

Conformational analysis by quantitative NOE measurements of the β-proton pairs across individual disulfide bonds in proteins
Conformational analysis by quantitative NOE measurements of the β-proton pairs across individual disulfide bonds in proteins
Abstract NOEs between the β-protons of cysteine residues across disulfide bonds in proteins provide direct information on the connectivities and conformations of these important cross-links, which are otherwise difficult to investigate. With conventional -proteins, however, fast spin diffusion processes mediated by strong dipolar interactions between geminal β-protons prohibit the quantitative measurements and thus the analyses of long-range NOEs across...

Automated sequence- and stereo-specific assignment of methyl-labeled proteins by paramagnetic relaxation and methylâ??methyl nuclear overhauser enhancement spectroscopy
Automated sequence- and stereo-specific assignment of methyl-labeled proteins by paramagnetic relaxation and methylâ??methyl nuclear overhauser enhancement spectroscopy
Abstract Methyl-transverse relaxation optimized spectroscopy is rapidly becoming the preferred NMR technique for probing structure and dynamics of very large proteins up to ~1 MDa in molecular size. Data interpretation, however, necessitates assignment of methyl groups which still presents a very challenging and time-consuming process. Here we demonstrate that, in combination with a known 3D structure, paramagnetic...

Xinli, Liao , Vitali, Tugarinov</br>
In NMR spectra of partially deuterated proteins methyl correlations are commonly observed as a combination of signals from 13CH3, 13CH2D and 13CHD2 isotopomers. In a number of NMR applications, methyl groups of the 13CHD2 variety are targeted because of their AX-like character and concomitant simplification of the...

Authors: Gettins P, Wardlaw SA
A 77Se-containing moiety has been attached to cysteine residues in bovine hemoglobin, reduced ribonuclease A, and glutathione by reaction with 6,6'-diselenobis(3-nitrobenzoic acid). The resultant species contain Se-S linkages that have 77Se NMR absorptions in the range range of 568-580 ppm. Spectra have been recorded at 4.7 and 9.7 tesla (T). For labeled...

Abstract:
MAS solid-state NMR experiments applied to biological solids are still hampered by low sensitivity and resolution. In this work, we employ a deuteration scheme in which individual methyl groups are selectively protonated. This labeling scheme...
