Abstract

The use of a diffusion filter is proposed to suppress the NMRsignals of small organic compounds in the presence of macromolecules.Combined with a spin-echo relaxation filter, the diffusion filter enablesthe selective and simultaneous detection of intermolecularsolvent–protein NOEs in a straightforward two-dimensional NOESYexperiment. Using the intermolecular NOEs observed betweenN,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and hen egg-white lysozyme in an aqueoussolution containing 2 M DMF, the binding of DMF at thespecificity-determining substrate binding site C of the enzyme was modelled.
