Abstract

A novel sensitivity-enhancement technique is proposed for experiments which correlate protein backbone resonances and start with magnetization from 13C(α)-1H(α) groups. The technique is based on replenishing magnetization lost by dipole-CSA cross-correlated relaxation of the 13C(α) spin with 13C(α) steady state magnetization. The principle is demonstrated for the (HCA)CONH experiment, resulting in 1.6-fold sensitivity enhancement compared to the HN(CA)CO experiment. Furthermore, other versions of the (HCA)CONH experiment were evaluated, including a novel experiment with spin- locking of transverse 13C-1H two-spin coherence, and a cross-correlation compensated (CA)CONH experiment which starts from 13C rather than 1H magnetization.
