title: Probing molecular interfaces using 2D magic-angle-spinning NMR on protein mixtures with different uniform labeling.
abstract: A general NMR strategy to directly study molecular interfaces under magic angle spinning is introduced. The approach is based on the spectroscopic analysis of uniformly, but heterogeneously, labeled molecular mixtures containing the spin species X and Y (X:Y). For the case of an ((15)N:(13)C) labeled sample, the use of NC, NHC, and NHHC transfers is demonstrated. Applied to the ((13)C:(15)N) labeled dimeric form of the 85 amino acid protein Crh, the NHHC approach reveals a variety of monomer-monomer interactions in the microcrystalline state.
