We present the first solid-state NMR experiments developed using optimal control theory. Taking heteronuclear dipolar recoupling in magic-angle-spinning NMR as an example, it proves possible to significantly improve the efficiency of the experiments while introducing robustness toward instrumental imperfections such as radio frequency inhomogeneity. The improvements are demonstrated by numerical simulations as well as practical experiments on a 13Calpha,15N-labeled powder of glycine. The experiments demonstrate a gain of 53% in the efficiency for 15N to 13Calpha coherence transfer relative to the typically double-cross-polarization experiments.
Western red cedar (Thuja plicata Donn.), western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla Raf. Sarge) and salal (Gaultheria shallon Pursh) are the main species growing in cedar-hemlock forests on Vancouver Island, Canada. Based on the dominance of organic N in these systems, we tested the hypotheses that: (1) organic N can be utilized by the three plant species; and (2) salal, which is ericoid mycorrhizal and has high tannin concentration in its tissues, would absorb more N from the complex organic N compounds than the other two species. The abilities of cedar, hemlock and salal to take up 15N,13C-labelled glutamic acid were measured and the capacities of the three species to use nitrate (NO3-), ammonium (NH4+), glutamic acid, protein and protein-tannin N were compared over a 20-day period. Based on 13C enrichment, all three species absorbed at least a portion of glutamic acid intact. Cedar, hemlock and salal also showed similar patterns of N uptake from the NO3-, NH4+, glutamic acid, protein and protein-tannin treatments. The largest proportions of applied N were taken up from the NO3- and NH4+ treatments while smaller amounts of N were absorbed from the organic N compounds. Thus organic N was accessed to a modest degree by all three species, and salal did not have a greater capacity to utilize protein and protein-tannin-N.
Near complete stereospecific assignments of the prochiral methyl carbons of Leu and Val residues in malate synthase G, a 723 residue enzyme, are reported. Assignments were obtained on the basis of a 10% fractional (13)C-labeling strategy developed by Wüthrich and co-workers [Neri, D; Szyperski, T; Otting, G; Senn, H; Wüthrich, K. Biochemistry 1989, 28, 7510-7516] and, in the case of Val residues, supplemented with results from a series of new methyl-TROSY quantitative J experiments for measuring (3)J(C)(gamma)(N) and (3)J(C)(gamma)(C)' couplings. The measured (3)J couplings were also used to probe Val side chain dynamics. A strong correlation is observed between rotamer averaging established on the basis of the couplings and side chain millisecond time scale dynamics measured using methyl-TROSY based (1)H-(13)C multiple quantum relaxation dispersion experiments.
