Abstract
This work reports the first synthesis of uniformly deuterated n-dodecyl-?-D-maltoside (d39 -DDM). DDM is a mild non-ionic detergent often used in the extraction and purification of membrane proteins and for solubilizing them in experimental studies of their structure, dynamics and binding of ligands. We required d39 -DDM for solubilizing large ?-helical membrane proteins in samples for [(15) N-(1) H]TROSY (transverse relaxation-optimized spectroscopy) NMR experiments to achieve the highest sensitivity and best resolved spectra possible. Our synthesis of d39 -DDM used d7 -D-glucose and d25 -n-dodecanol to introduce deuterium labelling into both the maltoside and dodecyl moieties, respectively. Two glucose molecules, one converted to a glycosyl acceptor with a free C4 hydroxyl group and one converted to a glycosyl donor substituted at C1 with a bromine in the ?-configuration, were coupled together with an ?(1 -> 4) glycosidic bond to give maltose, which was then coupled with n-dodecanol by its substitution of a C1 bromine in the ?-configuration to give DDM. (1) H NMR spectra were used to confirm a high level of deuteration in the synthesized d39 -DDM and to demonstrate its use in eliminating interfering signals from TROSY NMR spectra of a 52-kDa sugar transport protein solubilized in DDM.

New amino acid residue type identification experiments valid for protonated and deuterated proteins
New amino acid residue type identification experiments valid for protonated and deuterated proteins
Abstract Two experiments are presented that yield amino acid type identification of individual residues in a protein by editing the 1Hâ??15N correlations into four different 2D subspectra, each corresponding to a different amino acid type class, and that can be applied to deuterated proteins. One experiment provides information on the amino acid type of the residue preceding the detected amide 1Hâ??15N correlation, while the other gives information on the type of its own residue. Versions...

4D Non-uniformly sampled HCBCACON and 1J(NCα)-selective HCBCANCO experiments for the sequential assignment and chemical shift analysis of intrinsically disordered proteins
4D Non-uniformly sampled HCBCACON and 1J(NCα)-selective HCBCANCO experiments for the sequential assignment and chemical shift analysis of intrinsically disordered proteins
Abstract A pair of 4D NMR experiments for the backbone assignment of disordered proteins is presented. The experiments exploit 13C direct detection and non-uniform sampling of the indirectly detected dimensions, and provide correlations of the aliphatic proton (Hα, and Hβ) and carbon (Cα, Cβ) resonance frequencies to the protein backbone. Thus, all the chemical shifts regularly used to map the transient...

Multidimensional oriented solid-state NMR experiments enable the sequential assignment of uniformly 15N labeled integral membrane proteins in magnetically aligned lipid bilayers
Multidimensional oriented solid-state NMR experiments enable the sequential assignment of uniformly 15N labeled integral membrane proteins in magnetically aligned lipid bilayers
Abstract Oriented solid-state NMR is the most direct methodology to obtain the orientation of membrane proteins with respect to the lipid bilayer. The method consists of measuring 1H-15N dipolar couplings (DC) and 15N anisotropic chemical shifts (CSA) for membrane proteins that are uniformly aligned with respect to the membrane bilayer. A significant advantage of this approach is that tilt and azimuthal...

Multiplet-filtered and gradient-selected zero-quantum TROSY experiments for 13C1H3 methyl groups in proteins
Multiplet-filtered and gradient-selected zero-quantum TROSY experiments for 13C1H3 methyl groups in proteins
Abstract Multiplet-filtered and gradient-selected heteronuclear zero-quantum coherence (gsHZQC) TROSY experiments are described for measuring 1Hâ??13C correlations for 13CH3 methyl groups in proteins. These experiments provide improved suppression of undesirable, broad outer components of the heteronuclear zero-quantum multiplet in medium-sized proteins, or in flexible sites of larger proteins, compared to previously described HZQC sequences (Tugarinov et al. in J Am Chem Soc...

NMR methods can be used to determine the structures of membrane proteins. Lipids can be chosen so that protein-containing micelles, bicelles, or bilayers are available as samples. All three types of samples can be aligned weakly or strongly, depending on their rotational correlation time. Solution NMR methods...
