Rapid measurement of long-range distances in proteins by multidimensional 13C–19F REDOR NMR under fast magic-angle spinning by Shcherbakov, Alexander Aleksandrovich, Hong, Mei

“…Finally, we apply this 2D REDOR experiment to membrane-bound influenza BM2 transmembrane peptide, and show that the distance between the proton-selective histidine residue and the gating tryptophan residue differs from the distances in the solution NMR structure of detergent-bound BM2. This 2D [subscript 13]C–[subscript 19]F REDOR technique should facilitate SSNMR-based protein structure determination by increasing the measurable distances to the ~ 10 Å range.…”
