✦ Synopsis

A new 3D pulse sequence correlates backbone amide proton and nitrogen with alpha proton resonances selectively for glycine residues in a fully doubly labeled ( 15 N, 13 C) protein. The excitation of multiple quantum coherences provides optimized resolution and sensitivity. Degenerate alpha proton groups can be promptly recognized. Correlation of guanidine NH groups to delta protons of arginine side chains is also obtained.
