NMR spin relaxation techniques that utilize relaxation interference phenomena (TROSY) enable chemical exchange processes to be characterized in high-molecular-weight proteins. A TROSY-selected (TS) approach for measuring off-resonanceR1ρrelaxation in the spin-locked rotating reference frame is developed using three principles: (i) deuteration of nonexchangeable1H sites to minimize remote dipole−dipole interactions, (ii) selective excitation of the slowly relaxing15N doublet component to obtain optimal initial conditions, and (iii) selective inversion of one of the15N doublet components to suppress cross-relaxation during the spin-lock period. The method is validated using [90%-15N, 70%-2H] ubiquitin at 280 K. The TROSY-selectedR1ρexperiment enables characterization of backbone dynamics on the microsecond time scale in large proteins.
