We introduce a 13Câ??2H Rotational Echo DOuble Resonance (REDOR) technique that uses the difference between on-resonance and off-resonance 2H irradiation to detect dynamic segments in deuterated molecules. By selectively inverting specific regions of the 2H magic-angle spinning (MAS) sideband manifold to recouple some of the deuterons to nearby carbons, we distinguish dynamic and rigid residues in 1D and 2D 13C spectra. We demonstrate this approach on deuterated GB1, H/D exchanged GB1, and perdeuterated bacterial cellulose. Numerical simulations reproduce the measured mixing-time and 2H carrier-frequency dependence of the REDOR dephasing of bacterial cellulose. Combining numerical simulations with experiments thus allow the extraction of motionally averaged quadrupolar couplings from REDOR dephasing values.

A systematic mutagenesis-driven strategy for site-resolved NMR studies of supramolecular assemblies
A systematic mutagenesis-driven strategy for site-resolved NMR studies of supramolecular assemblies
Abstract Obtaining sequence-specific assignments remains a major bottleneck in solution NMR investigations of supramolecular structure, dynamics and interactions. Here we demonstrate that resonance assignment of methyl probes in high molecular weight protein assemblies can be efficiently achieved by combining fast NMR experiments, residue-type-specific isotope-labeling and automated site-directed mutagenesis. The utility of this general and straightforward strategy is demonstrated through...

Comprehensive determination of 3JHNHα for unfolded proteins using 13C�-resolved spin-echo difference spectroscopy
Comprehensive determination of 3JHNHα for unfolded proteins using 13C�-resolved spin-echo difference spectroscopy
Abstract An experiment is presented to determine 3JHNHα coupling constants, with significant advantages for applications to unfolded proteins. The determination of coupling constants for the peptide chain using 1D 1H, or 2D and 3D 1H-15N correlation spectroscopy is often hampered by extensive resonance overlap when dealing with flexible, disordered proteins. In the experiment detailed here, the overlap problem is largely circumvented by recording 1H-13C� correlation...

The interactions of biological macromolecules with water are fundamental to their structure, dynamics and function. Historically, characterization of the location and residence times of hydration waters of proteins in solution has been quite difficult. Confining proteins within the nanoscale interior of a reverse micelle slows water...
