Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a powerful tool to investigate the structure and dynamics of RNA, because many biologically important RNAs have conformationally flexible structures, which makes them difficult to crystallize. Functional, independently folded RNA domains, range in size between simple stem-loops of as few as 10-20 nucleotides, to 50-70 nucleotides, the size of tRNA and many small ribozymes, to a few hundred nucleotides, the size of more complex RNA enzymes and of the functional domains of non-coding transcripts. In this review, we discuss new methods for sample preparation, assignment strategies and structure determination for independently folded RNA domains of up to 100 kDa in molecular weight.

Abstract
NMR is a powerful method for studying proteins and nucleic acids in solution. The study of nucleic acids by NMR is far more challenging than for proteins, which is mainly due to the limited number of building blocks and unfavorable spectral properties. For NMR studies of DNA molecules, (site specific) isotope enrichment is required to facilitate specific NMR experiments and applications. Here, we provide a comprehensive review of isotope-labeling strategies for obtaining stable isotope labeled DNA as well as specifically stable isotope labeled building blocks required for enzymatic DNA synthesis.

Abstract
A five-dimensional (5D) APSY (automated projection spectroscopy) HCNCH experiment is presented, which allows unambiguous correlation of sugar to base nuclei in nucleic acids. The pulse sequence uses multiple quantum (MQ) evolution which enables long constant-time evolution periods in all dimensions, an improvement that can also benefit non-APSY applications. Applied with an RNA with 23 nucleotides the 5D APSY-HCNCH experiment produced a complete and highly precise 5D chemical shift list within 1.5 h. Alternatively, and for molecules where the out-and-stay 5D experiment sensitivity is not sufficient, a set of out-and-back 3D APSY-HCN experiments is proposed: an intra-base (3D APSY-b-HCN) experiment in an MQ or in a TROSY version, and an MQ sugar-to-base (3D APSY-s-HCN) experiment. The two 3D peak lists require subsequent matching via the N1/9 chemical shift values to one 5D peak list. Optimization of the 3D APSY experiments for maximal precision in the N1/9 dimension allowed matching of all (15)N chemical shift values contained in both 3D peak lists. The precise 5D chemical shift correlation lists resulting from the 5D experiment or a pair of 3D experiments also provide a valuable basis for subsequent connection to chemical shifts derived with other experiments.

Abstract
An out-and-stay 2D proton-proton NMR correlation experiment is proposed to detect long-range proton-proton connectivities up to six and seven bonds away. The magnetization flow pathway is based on a consecutive, dual-step J(CH)-transfer mechanism and it allows one to trace out (1)H-(1)H connectivities between protons belonging to different spin systems. This novel experimental scheme will be particularly useful in cases when carbon resonances overlap, providing connectivity information that could not be obtained in a HMBC experiment. The success of the experiment is demonstrated in the structural studies of a wide variety of chemical compounds.

Abstract
Treatment of cis-Pt(Me2SO)2Cl2 with DNSH-tren afforded [Pt(DNSH-tren)Cl]Cl and with DNSH-dienH, under increasingly more basic conditions, led to Pt(DNSH-dienH)Cl(2), Pt(DNSH-dien)Cl, and Pt(DNS-dien). (DNSH = 5-(dimethylamino)naphthalene-1-sulfonyl, linked via a sulfonamide group to tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (DNSH-tren) and diethylenetriamine (DNSH-dienH); the H's in DNSH-dienH designate protons sometimes lost upon Pt binding, i.e., sulfonamide NH for the dienH moiety and H8 for the DNSH moiety). Respectively, the three neutral DNSH-dienH-derived complexes are difunctional, monofunctional, and nonfunctional and exhibit decreasing fluorescence in this order as the dansyl group distance to Pt decreases. 2D NMR data establish that Pt(DNS-dien) has a Pt-C8 bond and a Pt-N(sulfonamido) bond. Pt(DNSH-dien)Cl and [Pt(DNSH-tren)Cl]Cl bind to N7 of 6-oxopurines (e.g., 5'-GMP, 3'-IMP, and 9-ethylguanine) and sulfur of methionine (met). Competition and challenge reactions for Pt(II) with met and 5'-GMP typically reveal that met binding is favored kinetically but that 5'-GMP binding is favored thermodynamically. This common type of behavior was found for [Pt(DNSH-tren)Cl]Cl. In contrast, Pt(DNSH-dien)Cl had reduced kinetic selectivity for met. This unusual behavior undoubtedly arises as a consequence of the bound Pt-N(sulfonamido) group, which donates strongly to Pt (as indicated by relatively upfield dien NH signals) and which places the bulky DNSH moiety close to the monofunctional reaction site. The decrease in the relatively upfield shifts of the DNSH group signals indicates that this group stacks with the purine. This stacking could explain the unprecedented, relatively low reactivity of a Pt complex bearing a dien-type ligand toward met vs 5'-GMP.

Abstract
New base-type-edited transverse-relaxation optimized CT-HCN(C) experiments are presented that yield intra-base and sugar-to-base correlations for 13C-15N labeled RNA. High spectral resolution in the 13C and 15N dimensions is achieved by constant time (CT) frequency editing. A spectral editing filter applied during the CT 15N labeling period separates the correlation peaks arising from G/U and A/C nucleotide bases. This provides the increased spectral resolution required to unambiguously connect the 1H and 13C resonances in sugar and base moieties of RNA nucleotides. In addition, the experiment allows base type identification for each residue, and therefore presents an attractive spectroscopic alternative to nucleotide-specific isotope labeling. Application to a 33-nucleotide RNA aptamer demonstrates the performance of the new pulse scheme.

Abstract
The solid-phase chemical synthesis method has a strong advantage over the enzymatic method for preparing selectively labeled DNA oligomers. Atom-specific and fully labeled 2'-deoxynucleosides are economically prepared with routinely available isotope precursors using this synthetic route. Special DNA oligomers prepared by advanced labeling techniques are needed for advanced NMR applications, and chemical synthesis is the method of choice to respond to such demands. As a summary of this chapter, two tables are given. Table I lists the labeled nucleosides reported to be available by chemical syntheses. Table II lists the NMR studies using labeled DNA oligomers that were prepared by chemical syntheses.

Abstract
This work presents two methods for through-bond correlation between sugar and base protons in view of model-independent assignment in unlabeled or slightly enriched nucleic acids. Each method uses a combination of multiple-bond and one-bond heteronuclear J-couplings to the aromatic carbon C6 for pyrimidines ((3)J(H1',C6) and (1)J(H6,C6)) or C8 for purines ((3)J(H1',C8) and (1)J(H8,C8)). The techniques are demonstrated in the duplex [d(CGCGAATTCGCG)](2) and the dimeric G-quadruplex [d(GGGTTCAGG)](2) at natural abundance.

Abstract
A novel TROSY (transverse relaxation-optimized spectroscopy) element is introduced that exploits cross-correlation effects between (13)C-(13)C dipole-dipole (DD) coupling and (13)C chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) of aromatic ring carbons. Although these (13)C-(13)C effects are smaller than the previously described [(13)C,(1)H]-TROSY effects for aromatic (13)C-(1)H moieties, their constructive use resulted in further transverse relaxation-optimization by up to 15% for the resonances in a 17 kDa protein-DNA complex. As a practical application, two- and three-dimensional versions of the HCN triple resonance experiment for obtaining ribose-base and intrabase correlations in the nucleotides of DNA and RNA (Sklenar, V.; Peterson, R. D.; Rejante, M. R.; Feigon, J. J. Biomol. NMR 1993, 3, 721-727) have been implemented with [(13)C,(1)H]- and [(13)C,(13)C]-TROSY elements to reduce the rate of transverse relaxation during the polarization transfers between ribose (13)C1' and base (15)N1/9 spins, and between (13)C6/8 and N1/9 within the bases. The resulting TROSY-HCN experiment is user-friendly, with a straightforward, robust experimental setup. Compared to the best previous implementations of the HCN experiment, 2-fold and 5-fold sensitivity enhancements have been achieved for ribose-base and intrabase connectivities, respectively, for (13)C,(15)N-labeled nucleotides in structures with molecular weights of 10 and 17 kDa. TROSY-HCN experiments should be applicable also with significantly larger molecular weights. By using modified TROSY-HCN schemes, the origins of the sensitivity gains have been analyzed.

Abstract
Measurement of both longitudinal and transverse relaxation interference (cross-correlation) between 13C chemical shift anisotropy and 13C-1H dipolar interactions is described. The ratio of the transverse to longitudinal cross-correlation rates readily yields the ratio of spectral densities J(0)/J(omegaC), independent of any structural attributes such as internuclear distance or chemical shift tensor. The spectral density at zero frequency J(0) is also independent of chemical exchange effects. With limited internal motions, the ratio also enables an accurate evaluation of the correlation time for overall molecular tumbling. Applicability of this approach to investigating dynamics has been demonstrated by measurements made at three temperatures using a DNA decamer duplex with purines randomly enriched to 15% in 13C.

Abstract
Dynamics in a DNA decamer duplex, d(CATTTGCATC). d(GATGCAAATG), were investigated via a detailed 13C NMR relaxation study. Every 2'-deoxyadenosine and 2'-deoxyguanidine was chemically enriched with 15% 13C and 98% 15N isotopes. Six nuclear relaxation parameters [R(13Cz), R(1Hz), R(2(1)Hz13Cz), R(13Cx), R(2(1)Hz13Cx) and steady-state 13C¿1H¿ NOE] were measured at 600 MHz and three were measured at 500 MHz (1H frequency) for the CH spin systems of sugar 1', 3', and 4' as well as base 8 and 2 positions. A dependence of relaxation parameter values on chemical position was clearly observed; however, no sequence-specific variation was readily evident within our experimental error of approximately 5-10%, except for 3' and 5' termini. It was demonstrated that the random 15% 13C enrichment effectively suppressed both scalar and dipolar contributions of the neighboring carbons and protons on the relaxation parameters. To analyze dynamics via all observed relaxation parameters, full spectral density mapping (1992, J. W. Peng and G. Wagner, J. Magn. Reson. 98, 308) and the "model-free" approach (1982, Lipari and Szabo, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 104, 4546) were applied complementarily. A linear correlation between three spectral density values, J(omegaC), J(omegaH - omegaC), and J(omegaH + omegaC) was observed in plots containing all measured values, but not for the other spectral density terms including J(0). These linear correlations reflect the effect of overall motion and similar internal motions for each CH vector in the decamer. The correlations yielded two correlation times, 3-4 ns and 10-200 ps. One value, 3-4 ns, corresponds to the value of 3.3 ns obtained for the overall isotropic tumbling correlation time determined from analysis of 13C T1/T2 ratios. The possibility of overall anisotropic tumbling was examined, but statistical analysis showed no advantage over the assumption of simple isotropic tumbling. Lack of correlations entailing J(0) implies that a relatively slow chemical exchange contributes to yielding of effective Jeff(0) values. Based on spectral density mapping and the T1/T2 ratio analysis, three basic assumptions were initially employed (and subsequently justified) for the model-free calculation: isotropic overall tumbling, one internal motion, and the presence of chemical exchange terms. Except for terminal residues, the order parameter S2 and the corresponding fast internal motion correlation time were determined to be about 0.8 +/- 0.1 and 20 +/- 20 ps, respectively, for the various CH vectors. Only a few differences were observed between or within sugars and bases. The internal motion is very fast (ps-ns time scale) and its amplitude restricted; e.g., assuming a simple wobble-in-a-cone model, the internal motion is restricted to an angular amplitude of +/-22. 5 degrees for each of the 1', 3', 4', 2, and 8 positions in the purine nucleotides in the entire duplex.

Abstract
A polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based method is described for uniform 13C/15N labeling of DNA duplexes. In this method, multiple copies of a blunt-ended duplex are cloned into a plasmid with each copy containing the sequence of interest and the restriction HincII sequences at the 5' and 3' ends. PCR with uniformly 13C/15N-labeled dNTP precursors results in a labeled DNA duplex containing multiple copies of the sequence of interest. Use of bi-directional primers, instead of self-priming [Louis et al. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 2374-2378], produces a DNA fragment of unique length. Twenty-four cycles of PCR of this purified product followed by restriction and purification gives (with 30% yield) the uniformly 13C/15N-labeled duplex sequence for multi-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Abstract
Two methods for the large scale preparation of uniformly isotope-labeled DNA for NMR studies have been developed. The first method comprises the growth of a suitable plasmid harboring multiple copies of the desired oligonucleotide in a medium based on 15N and 13C nutrients. The second method uses a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based approach with 15N- and/or 13C-labeled deoxynucleoside triphosphates. The novelty of our PCR strategy over existing ones is that the primer and template are the identical molecule, resulting in an exponential growth in the length of the double strand that contains tandem repeats of the target DNA sequence. This novel PCR approach, which we have termed ESRA for endonuclease-sensitive repeat amplification, is easy to use, results in high yields, and can be accomplished at low costs. The utility of both methods is demonstrated for the preparation of a double-stranded 21-mer uniformly labeled with 15N and a double-stranded 17-mer DNA uniformly labeled with 15N and 13C.

Abstract
A set of triple resonance experiments is presented, providing through-bond H2N/HN to H6 connectivities in uridines and cytidines in 13C-/15N-labeled RNAs. These connectivities provide an important link between the sequential assignment pathways for the exchangeable and nonexchangeable proton resonances in nucleic acids. Both 2D and pseudo-3D HNCCCH experiments were applied to a 30-nucleotide lead-dependent ribozyme, known as the leadzyme. The HN to H6 connectivities for three uridines in the leadzyme were identified from one 2D H(NCCC)H experiment, and the H2N to H6 connectivities were identified for seven of the eight cytidines from the combination of a 2D H(NCCC)H and a pseudo-3D H(NCC)CH experiment.

Abstract
Recent techniques for the efficient preparation of isotopically labelled RNA of desired sequence represent a dramatic step forward for NMR of nucleic acids. Three- and four-dimensional NMR experiments greatly facilitate spectral analysis and quantification of structural constraints. Backbone-driven assignment procedures have been introduced to parallel the powerful assignment methods introduced for work with proteins. Additional structural information to complement interproton distances, namely scalar coupling constants defining the backbone conformation, can be obtained using isotopically labelled oligonucleotides. The additional interproton distance and dihedral angle constraints resolved in higher-dimensional spectra will enable the determination of larger DNA and RNA structures and also increase accuracy and precision.

Abstract
[13C5]-2-Deoxy-D-ribose, synthesized from [13C6]-D-glucose (98% 13C), was coupled with thymine to give [1',2',3',4',5'-13C5]-thymidine (T) in an 18% overall yield. The thymidine was converted to the 3'-phosphoramidite derivative and was then incorporated into a dodecamer 5'-d(CGCGAATTCGCG)-3' by solid-phase DNA synthesis. Preparation of 0.24 mumole of the labeled dodecamer, which is sufficient for a single NMR sample, consumed only 25 mg of glucose. By virtue of the 13C labels, all of the 1H-1H vicinal coupling constants in the sugar moieties were accurately determined by HCCH-E.COSY.
