The concept of chemical shift-coding monitors chemical shifts in multi-dimensional NMR experiments without additional polarization transfer elements and evolution periods. The chemical shifts are coded in the line-shape of the cross-peak through an apparent scalar coupling dependent upon the chemical shift. This concept is applied to the three-dimensional triple-resonance experiment HNCA adding the information of (13)C(beta) or (13)C' chemical shifts. On average, the proposed TROSY-HNCA(coded)CB experiment is a factor of 2 less sensitive than the HNCA experiment. However, it contains correlations via the chemical shifts of both (13)C(alpha) and (13)C(beta), and provides up to three times higher resolution along the (13)C(alpha) chemical shift axis. Thus, it dramatically reduces ambiguities in linking the spin systems of adjacent residues in the protein sequence during the sequential assignment. The TROSY-HNCA(coded)CO experiment which is conceptually similar contains correlations via the chemical shifts of (13)C(alpha) and (13)C' without major signal losses. The proposed triple resonance experiments are applied to a approximately 70% (2)H, approximately 85% (13)C,(15)N labeled protein with a molecular weight of 25 kDa.
