Abstract
Uniform C-13 enrichment of proteins is commonly used for NMR studies o f proteins that are not amenable to conventional homonuclear 2D NMR sp ectroscopy. In such studies, the one-bond H-1-C-13 dipolar interaction is usually the dominant source of H-1 line broadening. H-1-C-13 zero- and double-quantum coherences are, to first order, not affected by th is dipolar relaxation mechanism. The relatively long relaxation time o f such H-1(alpha)-C-13(alpha) multiple-quantum coherences is exploited for measurement of H-alpha-H-beta J couplings in a sample of uniforml y C-13-enriched calcium-free calmodulin (16.7 kD) and a sample of TGF- beta 1 (25 kDa). J(H-alpha-H-beta) provides information on the stereos pecific resonance assignment for residues with nonequivalent H-beta me thylene protons and on the chi(1) torsion angles.
