We describe three-dimensional magic angle spinning NMR experiments that enable simultaneous band-selective measurement of the multiple distance constraints between carbonyl and side chain carbons in uniformly C-13,N-15-labeled peptides. The approaches are designed to circumvent the dipolar truncation and to allow experimental separation of the multiple quantum (MQ) relaxation and dipolar effects. The pulse sequences employ the double quantum (DQ) rotational resonance in the tilted frame ((RTR)-T-2) to perform selective polarization transfers that reintroduce the C-13'-(13)Cgamma,delta dipolar interactions. The scheme avoids recoupling of the strongly coupled C'-Calpha and C'-Cbeta spin pairs, therefore minimizing dipolar truncation effects. The experiment is performed in a constant time fashion as a function of the radio frequency irradiation intensity and measures the line shape of the DQ transition. The width and the intensity of this line shape are analyzed in terms of the DQ relaxation and dipolar coupling. The attenuation of the multispin effects in the presence of relaxation enables a two-spin approximation to be employed for the analysis of the experimental data. The systematic error introduced by this approximation is estimated by comparing the results with a three-spin simulation. The contributions of B-1-inhomogeneity, CSA orientation effects, and the effects of inhomogeneous line broadening are also estimated. The experiments are demonstrated in model U-C-13,N-15-labeled pepticles, N-acetyl-L-Val-L-Leu and N-formyl-L-Met-L-Leu-L-Phe, where 10 and 6 distances, ranging between 3 and 6 Angstrom, were measured, respectively.
