title: Suppression of artifacts induced by homonuclear decoupling in amino-acid-type edited methyl 1H-13C correlation experiments.
abstract: A detailed theoretical and experimental analysis of the artifacts induced by homonuclear band-selective decoupling during CT frequency labeling is presented. The effects are discussed in the context of an amino-acid-type editing filter implemented in (1)H-(13)C CT-HSQC experiments of methyl groups in proteins. It is shown that both Bloch-Siegert shifts and modulation sidebands are efficiently suppressed by using additional off-resonance decoupling as proposed by Zhang and Gorenstein [J. Magn. Reson. 132 (1998) 81], and appropriate adjustment of a set of pulse sequence parameters. The theoretical predictions are confirmed by experiments performed on (13)C-labeled protein samples, yielding artifact-free amino-acid-type edited methyl spectra.
