摘要

Methyl groups are essential probes for characterising interactions and dynamics in large proteins. HN-based triple-resonance NMR experiments are often too insensitive for methyl assignments, making a NOESY-based approach an efficient strategy. Linking geminal methyl groups in leucine and valine residues is a crucial step in such NOESY-based methyl resonance assignment strategies. This link can be established unambiguously with the 3D-HMBC-HMQC experiment, introduced for large U-[12C, 2H] LV-[13CH3]2-labelled proteins. Here, we introduce the SOFAST variant of the 3D-HMBC-HMQC experiment which provides spectra with fewer artefacts arising from the water signal and a mean increase in signal-to-noise ratio per unit time of 16% compared to the original experiment with an optimised recovery delay.
