title: High-resolution aliphatic side-chain assignments in 3D HCcoNH experiments with joint H-C evolution and non-uniform sampling.
abstract: We describe an efficient NMR triple resonance approach that correlates, at high resolution, protein side-chain and backbone resonances. It relies on the combination of two strategies: joint evolution of aliphatic side-chain proton/carbon coherences using a backbone N-H based HCcoNH reduced dimensionality (RD) experiment and non-uniform sampling (NUS) in two indirect dimensions. A typical data set containing such correlation information can be acquired in 2 days, at very high resolution unfeasible for conventional 4D HCcoNH-TOCSY experiments. The resonances of the aliphatic side-chain protons are unambiguously assigned to their attached carbons through the analysis of the 'sum' and 'difference' spectra. This approach circumvents the tedious process of manual resonance assignments using HCcH-TOCSY data, while providing additional resolving power of backbone N-H signals. A simple peak-list based algorithm has been implemented in the IBIS software for rapid automated backbone and side-chain assignments.
