Abstract
A combination of gradient-purged isotope-filtered NMR experiments is
presented, which allows for the detection of long-lived bound water
molecules in proteins. The discrimination of direct water-protein
exchange from NOE effects between bound water and protein protons is
achieved by NOE/ROE cancellation during the mixing time in one of the
otherwise identical experiments. The method was applied successfully to
13C/ 15N-labelled serine protease PB92, and
allowed for the identification of 22 protein-water NOEs in this
269-residue enzyme.
