13C direct detection provides a valuable alternative to1H detection to overcome fast relaxation because of its smaller magnetic moment.13C−13C NOESY spectra were acquired for a dimeric protein of molecular mass 32 000 and for a monomeric analogue. With increasing molecular mass, the quality of13C−13C NOESY spectra improves while the scalar-based experiments become less sensitive, as predicted by the increase in the molecular mass.13C−13C NOESY spectra of the dimer were acquired with different mixing times. The mixing time can be tuned to detect mainly one-bond correlations, or it can be increased to also detect correlations between nuclei at longer distances. It is proposed that13C−13C dipolar-based experiments provide a promising tool for signal detection and assignment in large macromolecules, such as multimeric species and macromolecular complexes, for which scalar-based experiments become less effective.
