✦ Synopsis

The potential of heteronuclear MAS NMR spectroscopy for the characterization of (15)N chemical shift (CS) tensors in multiply labeled systems has been illustrated, in one of the first studies of this type, by a measurement of the chemical shift tensor magnitude and orientation in the molecular frame for the two (15)N sites of uracil. Employing polycrystalline samples of (15)N(2) and 2-(13)C, (15)N(2)-labeled uracil, we have measured, via (15)N-(13)C REDOR and (15)N-(1)H dipolar-shift experiments, the polar and azimuthal angles (θ, psi) of orientation of the (15)N-(13)C and (15)N-(1)H dipolar vectors in the (15)N CS tensor frame. The (θ(NC), psi(NC)) angles are determined to be (92 +/- 10 degrees, 100 +/- 5 degrees ) and (132 +/- 3 degrees, 88 +/- 10 degrees ) for the N1 and N3 sites, respectively. Similarly, (θ(NH), psi(NH)) are found to be (15 +/- 5 degrees, -80 +/- 10 degrees ) and (15 +/- 5 degrees, 90 +/- 10 degrees ) for the N1 and N3 sites, respectively. These results obtained based only on MAS NMR measurements have been compared with the data reported in the literature.

We demonstrate a dipolar-chemical shift correlation technique for sign-sensitive determination of the torsion angle in solid peptides and proteins under magic-angle spinning. The indirect dimension of the experiment is obtained by separate but synchronous evolution of the magnetization under the 15
