Preparation of RNA samples with narrow line widths for solid state NMR investigations

Solid state NMR can provide detailed structural and dynamic information on biological systems that cannot be studied under solution conditions, and can investigate motions which occur with rates that cannot be fully studied by solution NMR. This approach has successfully been used to study proteins, but the application of multidimensional solid state NMR to RNA has been limited because reported line widths have been too broad to execute most multidimensional experiments successfully. A reliable method to generate spectra with narrow line widths is necessary to apply the full range of solid state NMR spectroscopic approaches to RNA. Using the HIV-1 transactivation response (TAR) RNA as a model, we present an approach based on precipitation with polyethylene glycol that improves the line width of 13C signals in TAR from >6 ppm to about 1 ppm, making solid state 2D NMR studies of selectively enriched RNAs feasible at ambient temperature.

Graphical abstract Highlights

? Narrow line widths are required to apply the full range of solid state NMR to RNA. ? Precipitation with PEG significantly improves the line width of TAR RNA. ? 2D SSNMR studies of selectively enriched RNAs are feasible at ambient temperature.

Characterization of different water pools in solid-state NMR protein samples Characterization of different water pools in solid-state NMR protein samples Abstract We observed and characterized two distinct signals originating from different pools of water protons in solid-state NMR protein samples, namely from crystal water which exchanges polarization with the protein (on the NMR timescale) and is located in the protein-rich fraction at the periphery of the magic-angle spinning (MAS) sample container, and supernatant water located close to the axis of the sample container. The polarization transfer between the water and the protein can be probed by...	nmrlearner	Journal club	0	01-09-2011 12:46 PM
