The structure assessment of an intact glycoprotein in solution requires an extensive assignment of the carbohydrate NMR resonances. However, assignment of homonuclear spectra is very complicated because of the severe overlap of protein and carbohydrate signals. Application of pulsed field gradients allowed high quality natural abundance 1H-13C HSQC and HSQC-TOCSY spectra to be recorded of the alpha-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin. Most carbohydrate 1H-13C correlations appear in a distinct region between the aromatic region and the protein C alpha-H alpha region. The enormous reduction in overlap led to fast and unambiguous assignment of the anomeric 1H-13C correlations. Subsequently, correlations of the monosaccharide skeleton atoms were readily assigned in the HSQC-TOCSY spectrum.

Simple 1H-NMR Assignment Query
Hi guys, sorry to be really cheeky and sign up simply to ask for help, but here goes.
I've done a simple Grignard addition of isopropyl magnesium bromide to 3-methoxy benzaldehyde and I'm just assigning the peaks, but I've come up stumped on one issue.
Concerning the isopropyl -CH(CH3)2 proton (at approximately d=1.95p.p.m.), it's observed as a septet, but the integration is 2.14 and I'm stuck as to why. This Grignard addition should occur non-preferentially at either the Re-/Si- face of the aldehyde, so can it be explained by some form of entiomeric...

4D APSY-HBCB(CG)CDHD experiment for automated assignment of aromatic amino acid side chains in proteins
4D APSY-HBCB(CG)CDHD experiment for automated assignment of aromatic amino acid side chains in proteins
Abstract A four-dimensional (4D) APSY (automated projection spectroscopy)-HBCB(CG)CDHD experiment is presented. This 4D experiment correlates aromatic with aliphatic carbon and proton resonances from the same amino acid side chain of proteins in aqueous solution. It thus allows unambiguous sequence-specific assignment of aromatic amino acid ring signals based on backbone assignments. Compared to conventional 2D approaches, the inclusion of evolution periods on 1Hβ and 13Cδ...

A simple biosynthetic method for stereospecific resonance assignment of prochiral methyl groups in proteins
A simple biosynthetic method for stereospecific resonance assignment of prochiral methyl groups in proteins
Abstract A new method for stereospecific assignment of prochiral methyl groups in proteins is presented in which protein samples are produced using U-glucose and subsaturating amounts of 2-methyl-acetolactate. The resulting non-uniform labeling pattern allows proR and proS methyl groups to be easily distinguished by their different phases in a constant-time two-dimensional 1H-13C correlation spectra. Protein samples are conveniently prepared using the same media composition as the...

A new approach for the isotopic labeling of proteins is proposed that aims to facilitate side chain resonance assignments. Residue-correlated (RC) labeling is achieved by the expression of a protein on a medium containing a mixture of labeled, e.g., amino acids,...

Journal of Biomolecular NMR; 2008; 41(1); pp 29 - 41
Abstract:
ABACUS is a novel protocol for automated protein structure determination via NMR. ABACUS starts from molecular fragments defined by unassigned J-coupled spin-systems and involves a Monte Carlo stochastic search in assignment space, probabilistic sequence selection, and assembly of fragments into structures that are used to guide the stochastic...
