(13)C[(13)C] 2D NMR: a novel strategy for the study of paramagnetic proteins with slow electronic relaxation rates

J Am Chem Soc. 2002 Apr 3;124(13):3204-5. doi: 10.1021/ja017733j.

Abstract

Oxidized human [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin has a notably slow electronic relaxation rate, which precludes the observation of signals from nuclei near the iron-sulfur cluster by conventional 2D or 3D methods that utilize proton detection. We have demonstrated the utility of (13)C[(13)C]CT-COSY in identifying connectivity information from fast relaxing carbon nuclei near the paramagnetic center, including those from residues that ligate the metal center.
