Hadamard frequency-encoded SOFAST-HMQC for ultrafast two-dimensional protein NMR

We demonstrate the feasibility of recording H-1-N-15 correlation spectra of proteins in only one second of acquisition time. The experiment combines recently proposed SOFAST-HMQC with Hadamard-type N-15 frequency encoding. This allows site-resolved real-time NMR studies of kinetic processes in proteins with an increased time resolution. The sensitivity of the experiment is sufficient to be applicable to a wide range of molecular systems available at millimolar concentration on a high magnetic field spectrometer.
