Abstract

13C direct detection provides a valuable alternative to 1H detection to overcome fast relaxation because of its smaller magnetic moment. 13C-13C NOESY spectra were acquired for a dimeric protein of molecular mass 32000 and for a monomeric analogue. With increasing molecular mass, the quality of 13C-13C NOESY spectra improves while the scalar-based experiments become less sensitive, as predicted by the increase in the molecular mass. 13C-13C NOESY spectra of the dimer were acquired with different mixing times. The mixing time can be tuned to detect mainly one-bond correlations, or it can be increased to also detect correlations between nuclei at longer distances. It is proposed that 13C-13C dipolar-based experiments provide a promising tool for signal detection and assignment in large macromolecules, such as multimeric species and macromolecular complexes, for which scalar-based experiments become less effective.
