Abstract Experiments detecting low gyromagnetic nuclei have recently been proposed to utilize the relatively slow relaxation properties of these nuclei in comparison to 1H. Here we present a new type of 15N direct-detection experiment. Like the previously proposed CaN experiment (Takeuchi et al. in J Biomol NMR 47:271â??282, 2010), the hCaN experiment described here sequentially connects amide 15N resonances, but utilizes the initial high polarization and the faster recovery of the 1H nucleus to shorten the recycling delay. This allows recording 2D 15N-detected NMR experiments on proteins within a few hours, while still obtaining superior resolution for 13C and 15N, establishing sequential assignments through prolines, and at conditions where amide protons exchange rapidly. The experiments are demonstrated on various biomolecules, including the small globular protein GB1, the 22 kDa HEAT2 domain of eIF4G, and an unstructured polypeptide fragment of NFAT1, which contains many SerPro sequence repeats.

The acquisition of multidimensional NMR spectra can be speeded up by a large factor by a projection-reconstruction method related to a technique used in X-ray scanners. The information from a small number of plane projections is used to recreate the full multidimensional spectrum in the...

[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] How to set up 15N direct detection on UnityInova?
How to set up 15N direct detection on UnityInova?
Has anyone recorded directly detected 15N spectra on UnityInova? We have a triple resonance HCN probe. The sample I've used was natural abundance 1M NaNO3 - sodium nitrate.
I've tried to set up cable analogously to 13C detection - through the second preamp, but could not see any signal at all.

[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] What has been done with direct detection of Deuterium?
What has been done with direct detection of Deuterium?
Hello, I am trying to investigate what has been done in NMR using direct detection of deuterium in liquids. - Could you suggest any citations?
What kind of sensitivity gain there is in using broadband probe vs. lock channel?
Has anything been done/can be done to detect scalar couplings with protons like in COSY or TOCSY? Are HD couplings other than geminal detectable?
Thanks.

Dominique, Marion</br>
Resonance assignment of intrinsically disordered proteins is made difficult by the extensive spectral overlaps. High-resolution 3D and 4D spectra are thus essential for this purpose. We have adapted the series of 3D BEST experiments proposed by Lescop et al to the case of unfolded proteins. Longer acquisitions...

CACA-TOCSY with alternate 13Câ??12C labeling: a 13Cα direct detection experiment for
Abstract We present a 13C direct detection CACA-TOCSY experiment for samples with alternate 13Câ??12C labeling. It provides inter-residue correlations between 13Cα resonances of residue i and adjacent Cαs at positions i â?? 1 and i + 1. Furthermore, longer mixing times yield correlations to Cα nuclei separated by more than one residue. The experiment also provides Cα-to-sidechain correlations, some amino acid type identifications and estimates for Ï? dihedral angles. The power of the experiment derives from the alternate 13Câ??12C labeling with glycerol or glycerol, which allows...

Simultaneous detection of amide and methyl correlations using a time shared NMR experiment: application to binding epitope mapping

Journal of Biomolecular NMR; 2007; 39(2) pp 97 - 105
Abstract:
Simultaneous recording of different NMR parameters is an efficient way to reduce the overall experimental time and speed up structural studies of biological macromolecules. This can especially be beneficial in the case of fast NMR-based drug screening applications or for collecting NOE restraints, where prohibitively long data collection...
