Abstract
The J-multiplied HSQC experiment (MJ-HSQC: S. Heikkinen et al., J. Magn. Reson 137, 243 (1999)) amplifies J coupling constants m times and allows direct observation of the 3JHNHα coupling constants of peptides and proteins (< 10 kDa). The drawbacks to this method are line broadening in the f1-dimension and lower sensitivity. In the J-multiplied HMQC (MJ-HMQC) experiment described here, the PEP-HSQC pulse sequence is replaced by a sensitivity-enhanced HMQC section, and the total decay time for the J-coupling and the chemical shift evolution is shortened by a period of t1. This experiment affords narrower linewidth and enhances the sensitivity by 34%, on an average of 105 well-isolated peaks, when compared with the MJ-HSQC experiment.
