Abstract

Artifacts associated with the measurement of methyl 1H single quantum CPMG-based relaxation dispersion profiles are described. These artifacts arise due to the combination of cross-correlated spin relaxation effects involving intra-methyl 1H–1H dipolar interactions and imperfections in 1H refocusing pulses that are applied during CPMG intervals that quantify the effects of chemical exchange on measured transverse relaxation rates. As a result substantial errors in extracted exchange parameters can be obtained. A simple ‘work-around’ is presented where the 1H chemical shift difference between the exchanging states is extracted from a combination of 13C single quantum and 13C–1H multiple quantum dispersion profiles. The approach is demonstrated with an application to a folding/unfolding reaction involving a G48M mutant Fyn SH3 domain.
