Magic angle spinning (MAS) solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) has developed rapidly over the past few years. This development led to the first structural models of amyloidogenic peptides1-3 and membrane proteins. 4 A major obstacle in the determination of these structures is the low signal-to-noise ratio associated with ssNMR experiments. So far, all standard ssNMR experiments have relied on heteronucleus detection ( 13C/15N). Protons would, in principle, be better suited due to their large gyromagnetic ratio ( γH). However, a largeγH implicates large1H,1H dipolar couplings even in the presence of line narrowing techniques, such as magic angle spinning (MAS) and homonuclear dipolar decoupling, because of the homogeneous nature of the proton coupling network. 5 Deuteration of a protein and back-substitution of exchangeable deuterons by protons allows one to decrease the effective 1H,1H dipolar couplings and facilitates ssNMR pulse sequence development. 6-8 We could show recently 9 that a further decrease in the proton spin density employing 90% D2O in the crystallization buffer sresulted in a 4-fold reduction in the 1H line width (compared to a sample recrystallized from 100% H 2O). The obtained HN line width was on the order of 20 Hz at a MAS frequency of 24 kHz. However, this approach induces a loss in sensitivity due to the decreased number of protons. The approach which is presented in this pilot study avoids this pitfall by labeling of methyl groups as originally proposed by Kay and co-workers. 10
