3 Two-Dimensional Data Sets Greatly Increase Spectral Resolution Procedure For Recording a 2D Spectrum Minimally Involves 1)Exciting the first nucleus 2)Recording the frequencies of the first nucleus 3) Utilizing some type of physical interaction to transfer NMR signal to second nucleus 4) Recording the frequencies of the second nucleus 1) Excite C 2) Record C frequencies 3) Transfer C to H 4) Record H frequencies Acquisition Time 2h Ile in D 2 O

11 Identification of Close Interproton Distances Protons separated in space by about 5 Å or less will influence the relaxation properties of one another (via dipole-dipole interactions): Known as the Nuclear Overhauser Effect, or NOE Importantly, note that this effect is in general distinct from the interaction between nuclei via J-couplings; J-couplings are mediated by electron orbital overlap between chemically bonded nuclei and are thus are only observed between nuclei separated by about 4 chemical bonds, or less NOEs instead can be observed in theory between any two possible protons within a molecule separated by 5 Å or less (irregardless of the number of chemical bonds by which the atoms are separated) NOE  (1/r IS 6 )f(  c ) r IS = internuclear distance f(  c ) = statistical quantity which describes the timescale with which a molecule reorients in solution

12 NOEs in Structure Determination NOEs can be identified from a 2-D 1 H- 1 H NOESY spectrum once the 1 H resonance assignments are complete NOESY Procedure: 1.Excite First Proton 2.Record Proton Frequencies 3.Transfer to Any proton 5 Å or less by NOE 4. Record Proton Frequencies

13 NOE Analysis - Practical Aspects Protein of 150 residues typically has about 30 possible NOEs per residue; unambiguous identification of these can be difficult with 2D NOE methods alone NOE spectra can be simplified and extended into more than two dimensions by employing isotope-editing Procedure: Excite nitrogen Record nitrogen frequencies Transfer to attached proton (J-coupling) Record proton frequencies Transfer to any proton 5 Å or less (NOE) Record Proton Frequencies

14 Isotope Editing Enhances Spectral Resolution Typically 3D 15N-edited NOESY 3D 13C-edited NOESY 4D 13C-edited, 13C-edited 4D 15N-edited, 13C-edited Typically, recover 10 - 15 interresidue NOEs per AA
