Abstract
The coexistence of rigid and mobile molecules or molecular segments abounds in biomolecular assemblies. Examples include the carbohydrate-rich cell walls of plants and intrinsically disordered proteins that contain rigid β-sheet cores. In solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, dipolar polarization transfer experiments are well suited for detecting rigid components, whereas scalar-coupling experiments are well suited for detecting highly mobile components. However, few NMR methods are available to detect the segments that undergo intermediate-amplitude fast motion. Here, we introduce two NMR experiments, a two-dimensional T2H-filtered CP-hCH correlation and a three-dimensional J-INADEQUATE CCH correlation, to observe this intermediate-amplitude motion. Both experiments involve 1H detection under fast magic-angle spinning (MAS). By combining 1H transverse relaxation (T2H) filters with dipolar polarization transfer, we suppress the signals of both highly rigid and highly mobile species, thus revealing the signals of intermediate mobile species. 1H detection under fast MAS is crucial for distinguishing the different motional amplitudes. We demonstrate these techniques on several plant cell wall samples and show that they allow the selective detection and resolution of certain hemicellulose and pectin signals, which are usually masked by the signals of the rigid cellulose and the highly dynamic pectins in purely dipolar and scalar NMR spectra.
