Bidirectional band-selective magnetization transfer along the protein backbone doubles the information content of solid-state NMR correlation experiments

چکیده
Resonance assignment is the first stage towards solving the structure of a protein. This is normally achieved by the employment of separate inter and intra residue experiments. By utilising the mixed rotation and rotary recoupling (MIRROR) condition it is possible to double the information content through the efficient bidirectional transfer of magnetization from the CO to its adjacent Cα and the Cα of the subsequent amino acid. We have incorporated this into a 3D experiment, a 3D-MIRROR-NCOCA, where correlations present in the 3D spectrum permit the sequential assignment of the protein backbone from a single experiment as we have demonstrated on a microcrystalline preparation of GB3. Furthermore, the low-power requirements of the MIRROR recoupling sequence facilitate the development of a low-power 3D-NCOCA experiment. This has enabled us to realise significant reductions in acquisition times, allowing the acquisition of a single 3D-NCOCA spectrum suitable for a full backbone resonance assignment of GB3 in less than 24 h.

Efficient CO-CA transfer in highly deuterated proteins by band-selective homonuclear cross-polarization.
Robust and efficient band-selective magnetization transfer between CO and CA spins can be achieved in highly deuterated solid proteins by dipolar-based homonuclear cross polarization. The approach is designed for moderate magic-angle spinning rates and high external magnetic fields where the isotropic chemical shift difference of CO and CA considerably exceeds the spinning rate. The most effici...

Previously introduced for highly deuterated proteins, band-selective magnetization transfer between CO and CA spins by dipolar-based homonuclear cross polarization is applied here to a protonated protein. Robust and efficient recoupling is achieved when the sum of effective radio-frequency fields on CO and CA resonances equals two times the spinning rate, yielding up to 33% of magnetization tra...

Solid-state NMR has evolved in the past decade into a powerful technique for the characterization of biomolecular structure and dynamics. Micro-crystalline globular proteins, amyloid fibrils, and membrane proteins can now be routinely studied using solid-state NMR techniques. This was made possible in part due to the development of 2D and 3D homonuclear and heteronuclear experiments that correl...

The time required for data acquisition and subsequent spectral assignment are limiting factors for determining biomolecular structure and dynamics using solid-state NMR spectroscopy. While strong magnetic dipolar couplings give rise to relatively broad spectra lines, the couplings also mediate the coherent magnetization transfer via the Hartmann-Hahn cross-polarization (HH-CP) experiment.
