Short and long range 2D 15N–15N NMR correlations among peptide groups by novel solid state dipolar mixing schemes
Journal of Biomolecular NMR(2023)
Abstract
A recently developed homonuclear dipolar recoupling scheme, Adiabatic Linearly FREquency Swept reCOupling (AL FRESCO), was applied to record two-dimensional (2D) 15N–15N correlations on uniformly 15N-labeled GB1 powders. A major feature exploited in these 15N–15N correlations was AL FRESCO’s remarkably low RF power demands, which enabled seconds-long mixing schemes when establishing direct correlations. These 15N–15N mixing schemes proved efficient regardless of the magic-angle spinning (MAS) rate and, being nearly free from dipolar truncation effects, they enabled the detection of long-range, weak dipolar couplings, even in the presence of strong short-range dipolar couplings. This led to a connectivity information that was significantly better than that obtained with spontaneously proton-driven, 15N spin-diffusion experiments. An indirect approach producing long-range 15N–15N correlations was also tested, relying on short (ms-long) 1HN–1HN mixings schemes while applying AL FRESCO chirped pulses along the 15N channel. These indirect mixing schemes produced numerous long-distance Ni–Ni±n (n = 2 − 5) correlations, that might be useful for characterizing three-dimensional arrangements in proteins. Once again, these AL FRESCO mediated experiments proved more informative than variants based on spin-diffusion-based 1HN–1HN counterparts.
