title: High resolution 1H detected 1H,13C correlation spectra in MAS solid-state NMR using deuterated proteins with selective 1H,2H isotopic labeling of methyl groups.
abstract: MAS solid-state NMR experiments applied to biological solids are still hampered by low sensitivity and resolution. In this work, we employ a deuteration scheme in which individual methyl groups are selectively protonated. This labeling scheme allows the acquisition of proton carbon correlation spectra with a resolution comparable to that in solution-state NMR experiments. We observe an increase in resolution by a factor of 10-15 compared to standard heteronuclear correlation experiments using PMLG for 1H,1H dipolar decoupling in the indirect dimension. At the same time, the full sensitivity of the proton-based experiment is retained. In comparison to the heteronuclear detected version of the experiment, a gain in sensitivity of a factor of approximately 4.7 is achieved.
