    Abstract:
    The assignment of nonexchanging protons of a small microcrystalline protein, the alpha-spectrin SH3 domain (7.2 kDa, 62 residues), was achieved by means of three-dimensional (3D) heteronuclear (1H-13C-13C) magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR dipolar correlation spectroscopy. With the favorable combination of a high B(0)-field, a moderately high spinning frequency, and frequency-switched Lee-Goldburg irradiation applied during 1H evolution, a proton linewidth < or =0.5 ppm at 17.6 Tesla was achieved for the particular protein preparation used. A comparison of the solid-state 1H chemical shifts with the shifts found in solution shows a remarkable similarity, which reflects the identical protein structures in solution and in the solid. Significant differences between the MAS solid- and liquid-state 1H chemical shifts are only observed for residues that are located at the surface of the protein and that exhibit contacts between different SH3 molecules. In two cases, aromatic residues of neighboring SH3 molecules induce pronounced upfield ring-current shifts for protons in the contact area.
