I would like to acquire a series of HSQC spectra of an 15N-labeled 12 kDa protein unfolding (over the course of hours) in 3M GuaHCl. I have access to a Varian 600 spectrometer with a conventional probe. Due to the high ionic strength of the sample, tuning and shimming is a little difficult. However, I can record a sort-of-decent HSQC using a WaterGate gradient enhanced WGgNhsqc sequence. I am limited to using a protein concentration of about 250 uM. I've determined the pw90 to be 12.125 at a tpwr of 63.
Using WGgNhsqc, the protein signal is decent (relative to the guanidine), but there is high phase distortion of the guanidine signal at 6.95 ppm. The guanidine signal is "split" half up and half down.
I get slightly different results using a regular gNhsqc -- the protein seems suppressed relative to the guanidine signal, and "antiphase" to it.
I am looking for ways of increasing sensitivity -- I don't mind if the HSQC takes an hour. Does anyone have any practical advise for such an experiment? Is one pulse sequence going to be significantly superior to another in this case?

[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] what is best pulse sequence for c13 edit noesy on vnmrj ?
what is best pulse sequence for c13 edit noesy on vnmrj ?
Hi
What is best pulse sequence in bio pack on vnmrj for C-13 edit NOESY ? I am working with 12 kd size protein which can exist as homo dimers ( i.e total size of homo-dimer is 24 kd ). Most frequent problems we are encountering as follows !line broadening , baseline , phase correction problems ( huge signal at 2.8 ppm )in first increments and f2f3 planes huge strips errors !
Thanking you in advance !

[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] Looking for hsqc-based ZZ exchange bruker pulse program
Looking for hsqc-based ZZ exchange bruker pulse program
hi nmrwikier !
Anyone know if the hsqc-based zz exchange pulse prog developed by Farrow et al. (1994) is available on standart bruker pulse prog library and what is its name ?
Many thanks !

[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] CT COSY pulse sequence programming
CT COSY pulse sequence programming
Hi,
I want to make a CT-COSY pulse sequence. But I'm bother by incremented delay. When I type in the BaseLevelRelation.h this:
IN=-INand add in the microprogram the delay before and after my pi pulse,it didn't work... It seems like it calculate the d28 delay from the IN28 increment, but doesn't want to apply this delay in the pulse sequence....Any idea ? Perhaps it's about some incrementation declaration or something like that ?

[NMR paper] A sequential HNCA NMR pulse sequence for protein backbone assignment.
A sequential HNCA NMR pulse sequence for protein backbone assignment.
Related Articles A sequential HNCA NMR pulse sequence for protein backbone assignment.
J Magn Reson. 2001 May;150(1):100-4
Authors: Meissner A, Sørensen OW
The conventional HNCA pulse sequence suffers from the ambiguity that it cannot distinguish inter- and intraresidue correlations because the one-bond and two-bond J(NC(alpha)) coupling constants are of similar magnitude. This paper presents a novel pulse sequence, sequential HNCA, that leads to a spectrum exhibiting...
