Abstract

Perdeuteration and back substitution of exchangeable protons in microcrystalline proteins, in combination with recrystallization from D 2O-containing buffers, significantly reduce 1H, 1H dipolar interactions. This way, amide proton line widths on the order of 20 Hz are obtained. Aliphatic protons are accessible either via specifically protonated precursors or by using low amounts of H2O in the bacterial growth medium. The labeling scheme enables characterization of structure and dynamics in the solid-state without dipolar truncation artifacts.
