title: Semi-constant-time HMSQC (SCT-HMSQC-HA) for the measurement of (3)J(H(N))(H(alpha)) couplings in (15)N-labeled proteins.
abstract: A simple method for accurately measuring (3)J(H(N))(H(alpha)) coupling constants in (15)N-labeled proteins is described. This semi-constant-time HMSQC-HA experiment combines the rapidity and convenience of the recently introduced CT-HMQC-HA scheme (Postingl and Otting, J. Biomol. NMR 12, 319-324 (1998)) with the high resolution and robustness of the HSQC experiment. The proposed method is demonstrated for the 76-residue human ubiquitin and Saccharopolyspora erythraea calerythrin (176 residues). Our results imply that the SCT-HMSQC-HA experiment is suitable also for proteins with less favorable NMR properties due to its good resolution and sensitivity.
