A pulse sequence is described for recording single-quantum C-13-methyl relaxation dispersion profiles of C-13-selectively labeled methyl groups in proteins that offers significant improvements in sensitivity relative to existing approaches where initial magnetization derives from C-13 polarization. Sensitivity gains in the new experiment are achieved by making use of polarization from H-1 spins and H-1 -> C-13 -> H-1 type magnetization transfers. Its utility has been established by applications involving three different protein systems ranging in molecular weight from 8 to 28 kDa, produced using a number of different selective labeling approaches. In all cases exchange parameters from both C-13 -> H-1 and H-1 -> C-13 -> H-1 classes of experiment are in good agreement, with gains in sensitivity of between 1.7 and 4-fold realized using the new scheme.
