Narrowing of protein NMR spectral lines broadened by chemical exchange.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Broadening of spectral lines is a signature of chemical exchange phenomena on microsecond to millisecond time scales but has deleterious effects on spectral resolution and sensitivity. A multipulse method based on chemical shift scaling that reduces chemical exchange broadening during frequency-encoding periods of liquid-state multidimensional NMR experiments is described. The proposed scheme utilizes low-power radiofrequency pulses, which offer the advantages of short cycle times and minimal sample heating. The method is suitable for biological macromolecules, as relaxation not resulting from chemical exchange is reduced by placing the magnetization along the z axis for part of the evolution trajectory. The resolution and sensitivity enhancement for resonances broadened by chemical exchange is demonstrated on the protein ribonuclease A. The work demonstrates the feasibility of applying coherent averaging techniques, which were originally developed in solid-state NMR spectroscopy, to biological NMR spectroscopy in the liquid state for resolution enhancement and facilitates the detection of resonances that are severely broadened by chemical exchange processes.

Selective excitation of homogeneous spectral lines.
It is possible, by selective excitation of homogeneously broadened lines, to produce response signals, which are orders of magnitude narrower than the original lines. The new type of echo, which allows detecting such signals, and the formalism, useful for understanding the phenomenon, as well as the experimental examples from NMR spectroscopy are presented. Long-lived partial NMR echo in solids...
متن کاملSpectral shapes of Ar-broadened HCl lines in the fundamental band by classical molecular dynamics simulations and comparison with experiments.
Spectral shapes of isolated lines of HCl perturbed by Ar are investigated for the first time using classical molecular dynamics simulations (CMDS). Using reliable intermolecular potentials taken from the literature, these CMDS provide the time evolution of the auto-correlation function of the dipole moment, whose Fourier-Laplace transform leads to the absorption spectrum. In order to test these...
متن کامل(14)N overtone transition in double rotation solid-state NMR.
Solid-state NMR transitions involving outer energy levels of the spin-1 (14)N nucleus are immune, to first order in perturbation theory, to the broadening caused by the nuclear quadrupole interaction. The corresponding overtone spectra, when acquired in conjunction with magic-angle sample spinning, result in lines, which are just a few kHz wide, permitting the direct detection of nitrogen compo...
متن کاملObservations of Dicke narrowing and speed dependence in air-broadened CO₂ lineshapes near 2.06 μm.
Frequency-stabilized cavity ring-down spectroscopy was used to study CO2 lineshapes in the (20013) ← (00001) band centered near 2.06 μm. Two rovibrational transitions were chosen for this study to measure non-Voigt collisional effects for air-broadened lines over the pressure range of 7 kPa-28 kPa. Lineshape analysis for both lines revealed evidence of simultaneous Dicke (collisional) narrowing...
متن کاملCharacterization of the unbound 2[Fe4S4]-ferredoxin-like photosystem I subunit PsaC from the Cyanobacterium synechococcus elongatus.
Recombinant PsaC was reconstituted in vitro and investigated by UV/vis, EPR, and 1H NMR spectroscopy. Its UV/vis and EPR spectroscopic properties correspond to those of the wild-type protein. Fast repetition 1D and 2D 1H NMR spectra allowed the sequence-specific assignment of the hyperfine-shifted proton resonances of the cluster-ligating resonances, taking advantage also of chemical shift anal...
