Shen M, Trébosc J, Lafon O, Gan Z, Pourpoint F, Hu B, Chen Q, Amoureux JP. Solid-state NMR indirect detection of nuclei experiencing large anisotropic interactions using spinning sideband-selective pulses. SOLID STATE NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE 2015; 72:104-117. [PMID: 26411981 DOI: 10.1016/j.ssnmr.2015.09.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2015] [Revised: 09/04/2015] [Accepted: 09/04/2015] [Indexed: 06/05/2023]
Abstract
Under Magic-Angle Spinning (MAS), a long radio-frequency (rf) pulse applied on resonance achieves the selective excitation of the center-band of a wide NMR spectrum. We show herein that these rf pulses can be applied on the indirect channel of Hetero-nuclear Multiple-Quantum Correlation (HMQC) sequences, which facilitate the indirect detection via spin-1/2 isotopes of nuclei exhibiting wide spectra. Numerical simulations show that this indirect excitation method is applicable to spin-1/2 nuclei experiencing a large chemical shift anisotropy, as well as to spin-1 isotopes subject to a large quadrupole interaction, such as (14)N. The performances of the long pulses are analyzed by the numerical simulations of scalar-mediated HMQC (J-HMQC) experiments indirectly detecting spin-1/2 or spin-1 nuclei, as well as by dipolar-mediated HMQC (D-HMQC) experiments achieving indirect detection of (14)N nuclei via (1)H in crystalline γ-glycine and N-acetyl-valine samples at a MAS frequency of 60kHz. We show on these solids that for the acquisition of D-HMQC spectra between (1)H and (14)N nuclei, the efficiency of selective moderate excitation with long-pulses at the (14)N Larmor frequency, ν0((14)N), is comparable to those with strong excitation pulses at ν0((14)N) or 2ν0((14)N) frequencies, given the rf field delivered by common solid-state NMR probes. Furthermore, the D-HMQC experiments also demonstrate that the use of long pulses does not produce significant spectral distortions along the (14)N dimension. In summary, the use of center-band selective weak pulses is advantageous for HMQC experiments achieving the indirect detection of wide spectra since it (i) requires a moderate rf field, (ii) can be easily optimized, (iii) displays a high robustness to CSAs, offsets, rf-field inhomogeneities, and fluctuations in MAS frequency, and (iv) is little dependent on the quadrupolar coupling constant.

Abstract
Rapid developments in solid-state NMR methodology have boosted this technique into a highly versatile tool for structural biology. The invention of increasingly advanced rf pulse sequences that take advantage of better hardware and sample preparation have played an important part in these advances. In the development of these new pulse sequences, researchers have taken advantage of analytical tools, such as average Hamiltonian theory or lately numerical methods based on optimal control theory. In this Account, we focus on the interplay between these strategies in the systematic development of simple pulse sequences that combines continuous wave (CW) irradiation with short pulses to obtain improved rf pulse, recoupling, sampling, and decoupling performance. Our initial work on this problem focused on the challenges associated with the increasing use of fully or partly deuterated proteins to obtain high-resolution, liquid-state-like solid-state NMR spectra. Here we exploit the overwhelming presence of (2)H in such samples as a source of polarization and to gain structural information. The (2)H nuclei possess dominant quadrupolar couplings which complicate even the simplest operations, such as rf pulses and polarization transfer to surrounding nuclei. Using optimal control and easy analytical adaptations, we demonstrate that a series of rotor synchronized short pulses may form the basis for essentially ideal rf pulse performance. Using similar approaches, we design (2)H to (13)C polarization transfer experiments that increase the efficiency by one order of magnitude over standard cross polarization experiments. We demonstrate how we can translate advanced optimal control waveforms into simple interleaved CW and rf pulse methods that form a new cross polarization experiment. This experiment significantly improves (1)H-(15)N and (15)N-(13)C transfers, which are key elements in the vast majority of biological solid-state NMR experiments. In addition, we demonstrate how interleaved sampling of spectra exploiting polarization from (1)H and (2)H nuclei can substantially enhance the sensitivity of such experiments. Finally, we present systematic development of (1)H decoupling methods where CW irradiation of moderate amplitude is interleaved with strong rotor-synchronized refocusing pulses. We show that these sequences remove residual cross terms between dipolar coupling and chemical shielding anisotropy more effectively and improve the spectral resolution over that observed in current state-of-the-art methods.

Abstract
With the development of technology and improved understanding of nuclear spin-spin interactions and their behavior in static/oscillating magnetic fields, NMR spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful tool for characterizing molecular structure in a wide range of systems of chemical, physical and biological relevance. Here in this article, we revisit the important connection between "Secular-Approximation" (a well-known fundamental concept) and NMR spectroscopy. Employing recent experimental results as the background, an alternate interpretation of the secular approximation is presented for describing and understanding the nuances of Multi-Quantum (MQ) NMR spectroscopy of quadrupolar nuclei. Since MQ NMR spectroscopy of quadrupolar nuclei forms the basis of the structural characterization of inorganic solids and clusters, we believe that the analytic theory presented herein would be beneficial both in the understanding and design of MQ NMR experiments. Additionally, the analytic results are corroborated with rigorous numerical simulations and could be employed in the quantitative interpretation of experimental results.

Abstract
We present a novel cross-polarization MAS NMR pulse sequence to probe proximities between half-integer quadrupolar isotopes. This sequence employs a multi-pulse cross-polarization (MP-CP) transfer, instead of the previous continuous-wave CP (CW-CP) transfer. With respect to CW-CP transfers, our sequence is more robust with respect to offsets and Rotary Resonance Recoupling detrimental effects, especially when taking into account rf-inhomogeneity. Moreover, by using a frequency splitter and a single channel MAS probe, this MP-CP sequence may allow analyzing the through-space connectivities between two isotopes with half-integer spin values and close Larmor frequencies.

Abstract
We present a new and highly efficient approach for heteronuclear coherence transfer in solid-state NMR spectroscopy under high-speed spinning conditions. The so-called (RESPIRATION)CP experiment exploits phase-alternated recoupling on only one of the two rf channels intertwined in a synchronized train of short rf pulses on both channels. The method provides significantly higher efficiencies than state-of-the art techniques including ramped and adiabatic cross-polarization experiments with long durations of intense rf irradiation. At the same time, it is easier to setup experimentally and significantly more robust toward imperfections such as rf inhomogeneity, misadjustments, and sample-induced variations in the rf tuning. The method is described analytically, numerically, and experimentally for biological solids. We demonstrate sensitivity gains of factors of 1.3 and 1.8 for typical (1)H→(15)N and (15)N→(13)C transfers and a combined gain of a factor of 2-4 for a typical NCA experiment for biological solid-state NMR.

Abstract
We present a comprehensive comparison of through-space heteronuclear correlation techniques for solid state NMR, combining indirect detection and single-channel recoupling method. These techniques, named D-HMQC and D-HSQC, do not suffer from dipolar truncation and can be employed to correlate quadrupolar nuclei with spin-1/2 nuclei. The heteronuclear dipolar couplings are restored under magic-angle spinning by applying supercycled symmetry-based pulse sequences (SR412) or simultaneous frequency and amplitude modulation (SFAM). The average Hamiltonian theory (AHT) of these recoupling methods is developed. These results are applied to analyze the performances of D-HMQC and D-HSQC sequences. It is shown that, whatever the magnitude of spin interations, D-HMQC experiment offers larger efficiency and higher robustness than D-HSQC. Furthermore, the spectral resolution in both dimensions of proton detected two-dimensional D-HMQC and D-HSQC spectra can be enhanced by applying recently introduced symmetry-based homonuclear dipolar decoupling schemes that cause a z-rotation of the spins. This is demonstrated by 1H-13C and 1H-23Na correlation experiments on l-histidine and NaH2PO4, respectively. The two-dimensional heteronuclear 1H-23Na correlation spectrum yields the assignment of 23Na resonances of NaH2PO4. This assignment is corroborated by first-principles calculations.

Abstract
Nitrogen-14 (spin I=1) has always been a nucleus difficult to observe in solid-state NMR and until recently its observation was restricted to one-dimensional (1D) spectra. We present here the first 3D 1H-13C-14N NMR correlation spectrum. This spectrum was acquired on a test sample L-histidine.HCl.H2O using a recently developed technique, which consists in indirectly observing 14N nuclei via dipolar recoupling with an HMQC-type experiment.
