A procedure is presented for the substantial simplification of 2D constant-time 13Câ??1H heteronuclear single-quantum correlation (HSQC) spectra of 13C-enriched proteins. In this approach, a single pulse sequence simultaneously records eight sub-spectra wherein the phases of the NMR signals depend on spin topology. Signals from different chemical groups are then stratified into different sub-spectra through linear combination based on Hadamard encoding of 13CHn multiplicity (nâ??=â??1, 2, and 3) and the chemical nature of neighboring 13C nuclei (aliphatic, carbonyl/carboxyl, aromatic). This results in five sets of 2D NMR spectra containing mutually exclusive signals from: (i) 13Cβâ??1Hβ correlations of asparagine and aspartic acid, 13Cγâ??1Hγ correlations of glutamine and glutamic acid, and 13Cαâ??1Hα correlations of glycine, (ii) 13Cαâ??1Hα correlations of all residues but glycine, and (iii) 13Cβâ??1Hβ correlations of phenylalanine, tyrosine, histidine, and tryptophan, and the remaining (iv) aliphatic 13CH2 and (v) aliphatic 13CH/13CH3 resonances. As HSQC is a common element of many NMR experiments, the spectral simplification proposed in this article can be straightforwardly implemented in experiments for resonance assignment and structure determination and should be of widespread utility.

Hybridization of TEDOR and NCX MAS solid-state NMR experiments for simultaneous acquisition of heteronuclear correlation spectra and distance measurements
Abstract
Magic angle spinning (MAS) solid-state NMR (ssNMR) spectroscopy is a major technique for the characterization of the structural dynamics of biopolymers at atomic resolution. However, the intrinsic low sensitivity of this technique poses significant limitations to its routine application in structural biology. Here we achieve substantial savings in experimental time using a new subclass of...

Solid state NMR of proteins at high MAS frequencies: symmetry-based mixing and simultaneous acquisition of chemical shift correlation spectra
Solid state NMR of proteins at high MAS frequencies: symmetry-based mixing and simultaneous acquisition of chemical shift correlation spectra
Abstract We have carried out chemical shift correlation experiments with symmetry-based mixing sequences at high MAS frequencies and examined different strategies to simultaneously acquire 3D correlation spectra that are commonly required in the structural studies of proteins. The potential of numerically optimised symmetry-based mixing sequences and the simultaneous recording of chemical shift correlation spectra such as: 3D NCAC and 3D NHH...

Sensitive 13Câ??13C correlation spectra of amyloid fibrils at very high spinning frequencies and magnetic fields
Sensitive 13Câ??13C correlation spectra of amyloid fibrils at very high spinning frequencies and magnetic fields
Abstract Sensitive 2D solid-state 13Câ??13C correlation spectra of amyloid β fibrils have been recorded at very fast spinning frequencies and very high magnetic fields. It is demonstrated that PARIS-xy recoupling using moderate rf amplitudes can provide structural information by promoting efficient magnetization transfer even under such challenging experimental conditions. Furthermore, it has been shown both experimentally and by numerical simulations that the method is not...

Multidimensional electrophoretic NMR (ENMR) has been introduced to determine structures of coexisting proteins and protein conformations in solution. Signals of different proteins are separated in a new dimension of electrophoretic flow according to their characteristic electrophoretic mobilities. The electrophoretic interferograms have been generated in the flow...
