Long-range residual dipolar couplings (lrRDCs) have the potential to serve as powerful structural restraints in protein NMR spectroscopy as they can provide both distance and orientation information about nuclei separate in sequence but close in space. Current nonselective methods for their measurement are limited to moderate alignment strengths due to the sheer abundance of active couplings at stronger alignment. This limits the overall magnitude and therefore distance across which couplings can be measured. We have developed a double resonance technique for the inversion of individual coupled spin pairs, called Selective Inversion by Single Transition Cross Polarization (SIST-CP). This technique enables the selective recoupling of lrRDCs, thus allowing the complex multiplets occurring in strongly aligned systems to be disentangled. This technique is demonstrated in the context of an application to the measurement of 13C’-1HN lrRDCs in strongly aligned proteins. Graphical abstract
[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] Long-range 1H-{15N} coupling (HMBC)
Long-range 1H-{15N} coupling (HMBC)
Hello All
I have two examples of what appears to be 6J coupling between 1H and 15N using gradient HMBC experiments with 15N at natural abundance. For such an experiment, 2J and 3J correlations are typical, sometimes 4J (W-type) but I've never seen 6J before.
Has anyone else ever seen correlations over this distance? Any other comments?
Craig.

[U. of Ottawa NMR Facility Blog] Measurement of Long Range C H Coupling Constants
Measurement of Long Range C H Coupling Constants
The stereochemistry of compounds is assigned very often with proton - proton NOE's by applying the 2D NOESY technique or the 1D selective gradient NOESY technique. These methods fail, however when the distance between protons is too large to measure an NOE. When faced with this situation, it may be possible to measure long range proton - carbon coupling constants which are able to provide the necessary information. Three-bond carbon - proton couplings follow a Karplus relationship where the magnitude of the coupling constant is related to...

Backbone assignment of perdeuterated proteins using long-range H/C-dipolar transfers
Backbone assignment of perdeuterated proteins using long-range H/C-dipolar transfers
Abstract For micro-crystalline proteins, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of perdeuterated samples can provide spectra of unprecedented quality. Apart from allowing to detect sparsely introduced protons and thereby increasing the effective resolution for a series of sophisticated techniques, deuteration can provide extraordinary coherence lifetimesâ??obtainable for all involved nuclei virtually without decoupling and enabling the use of scalar magnetization transfers. Unfortunately,...

Top Curr Chem. 2011 Sep 28;
Authors: Chen K, Tjandra N
Abstract
The development of residual dipolar coupling (RDC) in protein NMR spectroscopy, over a decade ago, has become a useful and almost routine tool for accurate protein solution structure determination. RDCs provide orientation information of magnetic dipole-dipole interaction vectors within a common reference frame. Its measurement requires a...
