Abstract
In this work, we introduce a set of pulse sequences that provide amino acid type identification of the NH correlation signals of proteins. The first pulse sequence is a modification of the CBCA(CO)NH experiment that exploits spin-coupling topologies to differentiate between amino acid types. A set of eight 2D 1H-15N correlation spectra is recorded where the sign of the cross-peaks change from one spectrum to another according to the amino acid type of the preceding residue in the protein sequence. Linear combination of these eight data sets produces four subspectra. Taking also into account the sign of the correlation signals, this method allows the classification of the NH signals into six different groups, depending on the character of the preceding residue. This sequence is complemented with a (CGCBCACO)NH experiment that allows the subdivision of the largest of these groups into two smaller ones. Finally, a modification of the CBCANH experiment led to a similar classification of NH signals into six different groups, but now depending on the type of its own amino acid. The set of pulse sequences is demonstrated with two proteins of small to moderate size.
