Abstract
A (1)H-(19)F spin state selective excitation (S(3)E) pulse sequence element has been applied in combination with (1)H homonuclear mixing to create E.COSY-type experiments designed to measure scalar J(HF2') and J(HH2') and residual dipolar D(HF2') and D(HH2') couplings in 2'-deoxy-2'-fluoro-sugars. The (1)H-(19)F S(3)E pulse sequence element, which resembles a simple INEPT sequence, achieves spin-state-selective correlation between geminal (1)H-(19)F spin pairs by linear combination of in-phase (19)F magnetization and anti-phase magnetization evolved from (1)H. Since the S(3)E sequence converts both (19)F and (1)H steady-state polarization into observable coherences, an approximately twofold signal increase is observed for fully relaxed (1)H-(19)F spin pairs with respect to a standard (1)H coupled (19)F 1D experiment. The improved sensitivity and resolution afforded by the use of (1)H-(19)F S(3)E E.COSY-type experiments for measuring couplings is demonstrated on the nucleoside 9-(2',3'-dideoxy-2'-fluoro-beta-D-threo-pentofuranosyl)adenine (beta-FddA) and on a selectively 2'-fluorine labeled 21mer RNA oligonucleotide.
