The application of a spin-state-selective coherence transfer experiment (INADEQUATE-SSS) to solid-state NMR spectroscopy is described. Two-dimensional (13)C double-quantum/single-quantum spectra without J splittings in both dimensions lead to enhanced spectral resolution. The method is demonstrated to significantly improve the spectral resolution of the crowded C'-C(alpha) region of two proteins.
We describe the simplification of 13C-13C correlation spectra obtained from a microcrystalline protein sample expressed on a growth medium of 10% fully 13C labeled glucose diluted in 90% natural abundance glucose as compared to a fully labeled sample. Such a labeling scheme facilitates the backbone and side-chain resonance assignment of Phe, Tyr, His, Asp, Asn, Ile, Lys and Pro and yields an unambiguous stereospecific assignment of the valine Cgamma1, Cgamma2 13C resonances and of Leucine Cdelta2.
