Abstract
We describe the direct observation of very weak side chain-main chain hydrogen bonding interactions in medium-size 13C/15N-labeled proteins with sensitivity-enhanced NMR spectroscopy. Specifically, the remote correlation. between the hydrogen acceptor side chain carboxylate carbon 13CO2delta of glutamate 54 and the hydrogen donor backbone amide 15N of methionine 49 in a 12 kDa protein, human FKBP12, is detected via the trans-hydrogen bond 3hJ(NCO2delta) coupling by employing a novel sensitivity-enhanced HNCO-type experiment, CPD-HNCO. The 3hJ(NCO2delta) coupling constant appears to be even smaller than the average value of backbone 3hJ(NC') couplings, consistent with more extensive local dynamics in protein side chains.
