Abstract

Theory,experimental aspects, and use in structure calculation of cross-correlated relaxation rates measured on zero- and double-quantum coherences in liquid state NMR are presented. The relative size of the interaction depends on the projection angle between the two tensorial interactions. The tensorial interaction can be either a dipolar interaction or a chemical shift anisotropy relaxation mechanism (CSA). Effects of additional sources of relaxation on the cross-correlated relaxation rates are analyzed. Also, an easy-to-use formalism is given to manipulate different cross-correlated relaxation interactions. The application addresses measurement of the backbone angle ψ in a protein by measuring dipole(15N–1H)–dipole(13Cα–1Hα) and CSA(15N)–dipole(13Cα–1Hα) cross-correlated relaxation rates. It is shown that ambiguities due to the 3 cos2θ-1 dependence of one cross-correlated relaxation rate can be overcome by measuring additional cross-correlated relaxation rates. The use of cross-correlated relaxation rates is demonstrated in structure calculations.
