Abstract
Until the recent years, substances containing radioactive 61Cu were strongly considered as potential positron-emitting radiopharmaceuticals for use in positron emission tomography (PET) applications; however, due to their suitably long half-life, and generator-independent and cost-effective production, they seem to be economically viable for human imaging. Since malignant melanoma (MM) is a major public health problem, its early diagnosis is a crucial contributor to long-term survival, which can be achieved using radiolabeled α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone analog NAPamide derivatives. Here, we report on the physicochemical features of a new CB-15aneN5-based Cu(II) complex ([Cu(KFTGdiac)]-) and the ex vivo and in vivo characterization of its NAPamide conjugate. The rigid chelate possesses prompt complex formation and suitable inertness (t1/2 = 18.4 min in 5.0 M HCl at 50 °C), as well as excellent features in the diagnosis of B16-F10 melanoma tumors (T/M(SUVs) (in vivo): 12.7, %ID/g: 6.6 ± 0.3, T/M (ex vivo): 22).

Abstract
Human Galectin-3 (hGal-3) is a protein that selectively binds to β-galactosides and holds diverse roles in both normal and pathological circumstances. Therefore, targeting hGal-3 has become a vibrant area of research in the pharmaceutical chemistry. As a step towards the development of novel hGal-3 inhibitors, we synthesized and investigated derivatives of thiodigalactoside (TDG) modified with different aromatic substituents. Specifically, we describe a high-yielding synthetic route of thiodigalactoside (TDG); an optimized procedure for the synthesis of the novel 3,3'-di-O-(quinoline-2-yl)methyl)-TDG and three other known, symmetric 3,3'-di-O-TDG derivatives ((naphthalene-2yl)methyl, benzyl, (7-methoxy-2H-1-benzopyran-2-on-4-yl)methyl). In the present study, using competition Saturation Transfer Difference (STD) NMR spectroscopy, we determined the dissociation constant (Kd) of the former three TDG derivatives produced to characterize the strength of the interaction with the target protein (hGal-3). Based on the Kd values determined, the (naphthalen-2-yl)methyl, the (quinolin-2-yl)methyl and the benzyl derivatives bind to hGal-3 94, 30 and 24 times more strongly than TDG. Then, we studied the binding modes of the derivatives in silico by molecular docking calculations. Docking poses similar to the canonical binding modes of well-known hGal-3 inhibitors have been found. However, additional binding forces, cation-π interactions between the arginine residues in the binding pocket of the protein and the aromatic groups of the ligands, have been established as significant features. Our results offer a molecular-level understanding of the varying affinities observed among the synthesized thiodigalactoside derivatives, which can be a key aspect in the future development of more effective ligands of hGal-3.

Abstract
Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) is a generally applied method for the mass analysis of various polymers and copolymers, but it inherently fails to provide additional important information such as the composition of copolymers. However, we will show that GPC measurements using different solvents can yield not just the correct molecular weight but the composition of the copolymer. Accordingly, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been developed to process the data of GPC measurements and determine the molecular weight and the chemical composition of the copolymers. The target values of the ANNs were obtained by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Our GPC-ANN method is demonstrated by the analysis of various poloxamers, i.e., poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-poly(propylene oxide) (PPO) block copolymers. Two ANNs were constructed. The first one (ANN_1) works in a wider mass range (from 900 to 12,500 dalton), while the second one (ANN_2) produces more output values. ANN_2 can thus predict seven characteristic copolymer parameters, namely, two average molecular weights, the average weight fraction of the EO unit, and four average numbers of the repeat units. The correlation between the experimentally obtained outputs and the predicted ones is high (r > 0.98). The accuracy of the ANNs is very convincing, and both ANNs predict the number-average molecular weight (Mn) with an accuracy below 5%. Furthermore, this work is the first step for creating an open database and applications extending the use of the GPC-ANN method for the analysis of copolymers.

Abstract
l-Iduronic acid is a key constituent of heparin and heparan sulfate polysaccharides due to its unique conformational plasticity, which facilitates the binding of polysaccharides to proteins. At the same time, this is the synthetically most challenging unit of heparinoid oligosaccharides; therefore, there is a high demand for its replacement with a more easily accessible sugar unit. In the case of idraparinux, an excellent anticoagulant heparinoid pentasaccharide, we demonstrated that l-iduronic acid can be replaced by an easier-to-produce l-sugar while maintaining its essential biological activity. From the inexpensive d-mannose, through a highly functionalized phenylthio mannoside, the l-gulose donor was prepared by C-5 epimerization in 10 steps with excellent yield. This unit was incorporated into the pentasaccharide by α-selective glycosylation and oxidized to l-guluronic acid. The complete synthesis required only 36 steps, with 21 steps for the longest linear route. The guluronate containing pentasaccharide inhibited coagulation factor Xa by 50% relative to the parent compound, representing an excellent anticoagulant activity. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first biologically active heparinoid anticoagulant which contains a different sugar unit instead of l-iduronic acid.

Abstract
The original homonuclear decoupled (pure shift) experiments provide ultrahigh-resolution 1H spectra of compounds containing NMR-active heteronuclei of low natural isotopic abundance (e.g., 13C or 15N). In contrast, molecules containing highly abundant heteronuclei (like 31P or 19F) give doublets or a multiple of doublets in their homonuclear decoupled spectra, depending on the number of heteronuclear coupling partners and the magnitude of the respective coupling constants. In these cases, the complex and frequently overlapping signals may hamper the unambiguous assignment of resonances. Here, we present new heteronuclear decoupled (HD) PSYCHE 1H and TOCSY experiments, which result in simplified spectra with significantly increased resolution, allowing the reliable assessment of individual resonances. The utility of the experiments has been demonstrated on a challenging stereoisomeric mixture of a platinum-phosphine complex, where ultrahigh resolution of the obtained HD PSYCHE spectra made the structure elucidation of the chiral products feasible. HD PSYCHE methods can be potentially applied to other important 31P- or 19F-containing compounds in medicinal chemistry and metabolomics.

Abstract
The NMR pulse sequence design strategy of NORD (NO Relaxation Delay) is extended to design of two new three-module experiments, NORD {HMBC}-{HSQC-TOCSY}-{TOCSY} and NORD {HMBC}-{2BOB}-{TOCSY}, each delivering four spectra - HMBC, HSQC, TOCSY, and either HSQC-TOCSY or H2BC. Compared to individual recording of these spectra particularly the sensitivity of the least sensitive module, HMBC, is enhanced by designing the homonuclear TOCSY module to allow buildup of magnetization pertinent to HMBC during its execution. Effectively, the sensitivity of the heteronuclear modules is boosted at the expense of the inherently much higher TOCSY sensitivity, thus resulting in a significant saving in spectrometer time.

Abstract
The NMR experiment design strategy of NO Relaxation Delay (NORD), introduced mostly as an idealized theoretical approach, is extended and put to practical use by considering synergy and sensitivity-balance in concatenation of experiments. It is illustrated by a novel experiment, NORD {HMBC}-{HSQC}-{TOCSY}, where magnetization of non-13C attached protons effectively is channeled from the TOCSY spectrum toward primarily the least sensitive spectrum of HMBC. The experiment is expected to find its place as a full-package NMR method for metabolomics, carbohydrates, peptides and small-molecules in general.

Abstract
Inhibition of the human O-linked β-N-acetylglucosaminidase (hOGA, GH84) enzyme is pharmacologically relevant in several diseases such as neurodegenerative and cardiovascular disorders, type 2 diabetes, and cancer. Human lysosomal hexosaminidases (hHexA and hHexB, GH20) are mechanistically related enzymes; therefore, selective inhibition of these enzymes is crucial in terms of potential applications. In order to extend the structure–activity relationships of OGA inhibitors, a series of 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-d-glucono-1,5-lactone sulfonylhydrazones was prepared from d-glucosamine. The synthetic sequence involved condensation of N-acetyl-3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-d-glucosamine with arenesulfonylhydrazines, followed by MnO2 oxidation to the corresponding glucono-1,5-lactone sulfonylhydrazones. Removal of the O-acetyl protecting groups by NH3/MeOH furnished the test compounds. Evaluation of these compounds by enzyme kinetic methods against hOGA and hHexB revealed potent nanomolar competitive inhibition of both enzymes, with no significant selectivity towards either. The most efficient inhibitor of hOGA was 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-d-glucono-1,5-lactone 1-naphthalenesulfonylhydrazone (5f, Ki = 27 nM). This compound had a Ki of 6.8 nM towards hHexB. To assess the binding mode of these inhibitors to hOGA, computational studies (Prime protein–ligand refinement and QM/MM optimizations) were performed, which suggested the binding preference of the glucono-1,5-lactone sulfonylhydrazones in an s-cis conformation for all test compounds.

Abstract
Detailed investigation of ligand-protein interactions is essential for better understanding of biological processes at the molecular level. Among these binding interactions, the recognition of glycans by lectins is of particular importance in several diseases, such as cancer; therefore, inhibition of glycan-lectin/galectin interactions represents a promising perspective towards developing therapeutics controlling cancer development. The recent introduction of 77Se NMR spectroscopy for monitoring the binding of a selenoglycoside to galectins prompted interest to optimize the sensitivity by increasing the 77Se content from the natural 7.63% abundance to 99%. Here, we report a convenient synthesis of 77Se-enriched selenodigalactoside (SeDG), which is a potent ligand of the medically relevant human galectin-3 protein, and proof of the expected sensitivity gain in 2D 1H, 77Se correlation NMR experiments. Our work opens perspectives for adding isotopically enriched selenoglycans for rapid monitoring of lectin-binding of selenated as well as non-selenated ligands and for ligand screening in competition experiments.

Abstract
Their emerging nature as multifunctional effectors explains the large interest to monitor glycan binding to galectins and to define bound-state conformer(s) of their ligands in solution. Basically, NMR spectroscopy facilitates respective experiments. Towards developing new and even better approaches for these purposes, extending the range of exploitable isotopes beyond 1H, 13C, and 15N offers promising perspectives. Having therefore prepared selenodigalactoside and revealed its bioactivity as galectin ligand, monitoring of its binding by 77Se NMR spectroscopy at a practical level becomes possible by setting up a 2D 1H, 77Se CPMG-HSQBMC experiment including CPMG-INEPT long-range transfer. This first step into applying 77Se as sensor for galectin binding substantiates its potential for screening relative to inhibitory potencies in compound mixtures and for achieving sophisticated epitope mapping. The documented strategic combination of synthetic carbohydrate chemistry and NMR spectroscopy prompts to envision to work with isotopically pure 77Se-containing β-galactosides and to build on the gained experience with 77Se by adding 19F as second sensor in doubly labeled glycosides.

Abstract
Elucidation and improvement of the blood coagulant properties of heparin are the focus of intense research. In this study, we performed conformational analysis using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations on the heparin pentasaccharide analogue idraparinux, its disulfonatomethyl analogue, which features a slightly improved blood coagulation property, and a trisulfonatomethyl analogue, in which the activity has been totally abolished. As the ring conformation of the G subunit has been suggested as a major determinant of the biological properties, we analyzed the sugar ring conformations and dynamics of the interglycosidic linkages. We found that the conformation of the G ring is dominated by the 2SO skewed boat next to the 1C4 chair in all three derivatives. Both the thermodynamics and the kinetics of the conformational states were found to be highly similar in the three derivatives. Molecular kinetic analysis showed that the 2SO skewed boat state of the G ring is equally favorable in the three analogues, resulting in similar 2SO populations. Also, the transition kinetics from the 1C4 chair to the 2SO skewed boat was found to be comparable in the derivatives, which indicates a similar energy barrier between the two states of the G subunit. We also identified a slower conformational transition between the dominant 4C1 chair and the boat conformations on the E subunit. Both G and E ring flips are also accompanied by changes along the interglycosidic linkages, which take place highly synchronously with the ring flips. These findings indicate that conformational plasticity of the G ring and the dominance of the 2SO skewed boat populations do not necessarily warrant the biological activity of the derivatives and hence the impact of other factors also needs to be considered.

Abstract
Resonance assignment is a pivotal step for any nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis, such as structure elucidation or the investigation of protein-ligand interactions. Both 1H-13C heteronuclear single quantum correlation (HSQC) and 1H-1H correlation spectroscopy (COSY) two-dimensional (2D) experiments are invaluable for 1H NMR assignment, by extending the high signal dispersion of 13C chemical shifts onto 1H resonances and by providing a high amount of through-bond 1H-1H connectivity information, respectively. The recently introduced HSQC-CLIP(Clean In-Phase)-COSY method combines these two experiments, providing COSY correlations along the high-resolution 13C dimension with clean in-phase multiplets. However, two experiments need to be recorded to unambiguously identify COSY cross-peaks. Here, we propose novel variants of the HSQC-CLIP-COSY pulse sequence that edit cross-peak signs so that direct HSQC responses can be distinguished from COSY relay peaks, and/or the multiplicities of the 13C nuclei are reflected, allowing the assignment of all the peaks in a single experiment. The advanced HSQC-CLIP-COSY variants have the potential to accelerate and simplify the NMR structure-elucidation process of both synthetic and natural products and to become valuable tools for high-throughput computer-assisted structure determination.

Abstract
A series of 1-substituted-3-methyl-2-phospholene oxides was prepared from the corresponding 3-phospholene oxides by double bond rearrangement. The 2-phospholene oxides could be obtained by heating the 3-phospholene oxides in methanesulfonic acid, or via the formation of cyclic chlorophosphonium salts. Whereas mixtures of the 2- and 3-phospholene oxides formed, when the isomerization of 3-phospholene oxides was attempted under thermal conditions, or in the presence of a base. The mechanisms of the various double bond migration pathways were elucidated by quantum chemical calculations.

Abstract
Accurate identification of lipids in biological samples is a key step in lipidomics studies. Multidimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a powerful analytical tool for this purpose as it provides comprehensive structural information on lipid composition at atomic resolution. However, the interpretation of NMR spectra of complex lipid mixtures is currently hampered by limited spectral resolution and the absence of a customized lipid NMR database along with user-friendly spectral analysis tools. We introduce a new two-dimensional (2D) NMR metabolite database "COLMAR Lipids" that was specifically curated for hydrophobic metabolites presently containing 501 compounds with accurate experimental 2D 13C-1H heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC) chemical shift data measured in CDCl3. A new module in the public COLMAR suite of NMR web servers was developed for the (semi)automated analysis of complex lipidomics mixtures (http://spin.ccic.osu.edu/index.php/colmarm/index2). To obtain 2D HSQC spectra with the necessary high spectral resolution along both 13C and 1H dimensions, nonuniform sampling in combination with pure shift spectroscopy was applied allowing the extraction of an abundance of unique cross-peaks belonging to hydrophobic compounds in complex lipidomics mixtures. As shown here, this information is critical for the unambiguous identification of underlying lipid molecules by means of the new COLMAR Lipids web server, also in combination with mass spectrometry, as is demonstrated for Caco-2 cell and lung tissue cell extracts.

Abstract
:
A series of palladium(II) complexes incorporating 1-substituted-3-methyl-3-
phospholenes as the P-ligands were prepared from phospholene oxides by deoxygenation
followed by complexation with PdCl2(PhCN)2. The two 1-substituted-3-methyl-3-
phospholene ligands were trans position to each other in the Pd(II)-complexes. As the
ligands contain a P-stereogenic center, the Pd-complexes were obtained as a 1:1 mixture
of two stereoisomers, the homochiral (R,R and S,S) and the meso (R,S) forms, when racemic
starting materials were used. An optically active Pd-complex containing (R)-1-propyl-
3-phospholene ligand was also prepared. Catalytic activity of an aryl- and an alkyl-3-
phospholene-palladium(II)-complex was evaluated in hydroalkoxycarbonylation of
styrene. The alkyl-derivative showed higher activity and selectivity towards the formation
of the esters of 3-phenylpropionic acid. However, the overall activity of these PdCl2(phospholene)2-type
complexes was low.

Abstract
Knowledge of the chemical identity of metabolite molecules is critical for the understanding of the complex biological systems to which they belong. Since metabolite identities and their concentrations are often directly linked to the phenotype, such information can be used to map biochemical pathways and understand their role in health and disease. A very large number of metabolites however are still unknown; i.e., their spectroscopic signatures do not match those in existing databases, suggesting unknown molecule identification is both imperative and challenging. Although metabolites are structurally highly diverse, the majority shares a rather limited number of structural motifs, which are defined by sets of 1H and 13C chemical shifts of the same spin system. This allows one to characterize unknown metabolites by a divide-and-conquer strategy that identifies their structural motifs first. Here, we present the structural motif-based approach "SUMMIT Motif" for the de novo identification of unknown molecular structures in complex mixtures, without the need for extensive purification, using NMR in tandem with two newly curated NMR molecular structural motif metabolomics databases (MSMMDBs). For the identification of structural motif(s), first, the 1H and 13C chemical shifts of all the individual spin systems are extracted from 2D and 3D NMR spectra of the complex mixture. Next, the molecular structural motifs are identified by querying these chemical shifts against the new MSMMDBs. One database, COLMAR MSMMDB, was derived from experimental NMR chemical shifts of known metabolites taken from the COLMAR metabolomics database, while the other MSMMDB, pNMR MSMMDB, is based on predicted chemical shifts of metabolites of several existing large metabolomics databases. For molecules consisting of multiple spin systems, spin systems are connected via long-range scalar J-couplings. When this motif-based identification method was applied to the hydrophilic extract of mouse bile fluid, two unknown metabolites could be successfully identified. This approach is both accurate and efficient for the identification of unknown metabolites and hence enables the discovery of new biochemical processes and potential biomarkers.

Abstract
The fundamental importance of protein-glycan recognition calls for specific and sensitive high-resolution techniques for their detailed analysis. After the introduction of 19 F NMR spectroscopy to study the recognition of fluorinated glycans, a new 77 Se NMR spectroscopy method is presented for complementary studies of selenoglycans with optimised resolution and sensitivity, in which direct NMR spectroscopy detection on 77 Se is replaced by its indirect observation in a 2D 1 H,77 Se HSQMBC spectrum. In contrast to OH/F substitution, O/Se exchange allows the glycosidic bond to be targeted. As an example, selenodigalactoside recognition by three human galectins and a plant toxin is readily indicated by signal attenuation and line broadening in the 2D 1 H,77 Se HSQMBC spectrum, in which CPMG-INEPT long-range transfer ensures maximal detection sensitivity, clean signal phases, and reliable ligand ranking. By monitoring competitive displacement of a selenated spy ligand, the selective 77 Se NMR spectroscopy approach may also be used to screen non-selenated compounds. Finally, 1 H,77 Se CPMG-INEPT transfer allows further NMR sensors of molecular interaction to be combined with the specificity and resolution of 77 Se NMR spectroscopy.

Abstract
Sensitivity and resolution are key considerations for NMR applications in general and for metabolomics in particular, where complex mixtures containing hundreds of metabolites over a large range of concentrations are commonly encountered. There is a strong demand for advanced methods that can provide maximal information in the shortest possible time frame. Here, we present the optimization and application of the recently introduced 2D real-time BIRD 1H-13C HSQC experiment for NMR-based metabolomics of aqueous samples at 13C natural abundance. For mouse urine samples, it is demonstrated how this real-time pure shift sensitivity-improved heteronuclear single quantum correlation method provides broadband homonuclear decoupling along the proton detection dimension and thereby significantly improves spectral resolution in regions that are affected by spectral overlap. Moreover, the collapse of the scalar multiplet structure of cross-peaks leads to a sensitivity gain of about 40-50% over a traditional 2D HSQC-SI experiment. The experiment works well over a range of magnetic field strengths and is particularly useful when resonance overlap in crowded regions of the HSQC spectra hampers accurate metabolite identification and quantitation.

Abstract
Long-range heteronuclear coupling constants convey invaluable information for stereochemical and conformational analysis of molecules from synthetic and natural origin. Here, we report a real-time Zangger-Sterk CPMG-HSQMBC method for the precise and direct measurement of multiple-bond heteronuclear couplings. It is demonstrated that the real-time acquisition strategy combined with multiple slice selective excitation can provide substantial improvement in sensitivity (or reduction of experimental time) as compared to other variants of broadband homonuclear decoupled HSQMBC methods published previously. Scope and limitations of the different strategies applied for decoupling are reviewed. Moreover, practical guidelines for the choice of the most appropriate method are also presented. Applications are given on a metal complex incorporating P-heterocycles and two diglycosyl-selenides for the extraction of n J(1 H, 31 P) and n J(1 H, 77 Se), respectively.

Abstract
Ultra-violet (UV) irradiation has a significant impact on the structure and function of proteins that is supposed to be in relationship with the tryptophan-mediated photolysis of disulfide bonds. To investigate the correlation between the photoexcitation of Trp residues in polypeptides and the associated reduction of disulfide bridges, a series of small, cyclic oligopeptide models were analyzed in this work. Average distances between the aromatic side chains and the disulfide bridge were determined following molecular mechanics (MM) geometry optimizations. In this way, the possibility of cation–π interactions was also investigated. Molecular mechanics calculations revealed that the shortest distance between the side chain of the Trp residues and the disulfide bridge is approximately 5 Å in the cyclic pentapeptide models. Based on this, three tryptophan-containing cyclopeptide models were synthesized and analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Experimental data and detailed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were in good agreement with MM geometry calculations. Selected model peptides were subjected to photolytic degradation to study the correlation of structural features and the photolytic cleavage of disulfide bonds in solution. Formation of free sulfhydryl groups upon illumination with near UV light was monitored by fluorescence spectroscopy after chemical derivatization with 7-diethylamino-3-(4-maleimidophenyl)-4-methylcoumarin (CPM) and mass spectrometry. Liquid cromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) measurements indicated the presence of multiple photooxidation products (e.g., dimers, multimers and other oxidated products), suggesting that besides the photolysis of disulfide bonds secondary photolytic processes take place.

Abstract
Novel CLIP-COSY based homo- and heteronuclear correlation experiments are reported for the rapid, semi-automated NMR assignment of small to medium-sized molecules. The homonuclear CLIP-COSY and corresponding relayed experiments employ the perfect-echo based mixing sequence for in-phase coherence transfer between directly and/or indirectly coupled proton spins. The combined analysis of the resulting CLIP-COSY and relayed spectra made it possible to easily track down, layer by layer, the proton-proton connectivity network. In larger molecules the narrow chemical shift range of protons may, however, compromise the efficacy of the homonuclear correlation based assignment strategy. To overcome this limitation, an HSQC variant of the CLIP-COSY experiment has now been devised. Combined treatment of HSQC-CLIP-COSY (relayed) and standard HSQC spectra facilitates simultaneous and semi-automatic assignment of 1 H and 13 C resonances of medium-sized molecules, such as pentasaccharides. The recently introduced PSYCHE broadband homonuclear decoupling scheme has been also implemented into the devised homo- and heteronuclear CLIP-COSY based experiments, resulting in fully decoupled high-resolution pure-shift correlation spectra.

Abstract
Anuroctoxin (AnTx), a 35-amino-acid scorpion toxin containing four disulfide bridges, is a high affinity blocker of the voltage-gated potassium channel Kv1.3, but also blocks Kv1.2. To improve potential therapeutic use of the toxin, we have designed a double substituted analog, [N17A/F32T]-AnTx, which showed comparable Kv1.3 affinity to the wild-type peptide, but also a 2500-fold increase in the selectivity for Kv1.3 over Kv1.2. In the present study we have achieved the chemical synthesis of a Sec-analog in which all cysteine (Cys) residues have been replaced by selenocysteine (Sec) forming four diselenide bonds. To the best of our knowledge this is the first time to replace, by chemical synthesis, all disulfide bonds with isosteric diselenides in a peptide/protein. Gratifyingly, the key pharmacological properties of the Sec-[N17A/F32T]-AnTx are retained since the peptide is functionally active. We also propose here a combined experimental and theoretical approach including NOE- and 77Se-based NMR supplemented by MD simulations for conformational and dynamic characterization of the Sec-[N17A/F32T]-AnTx. Using this combined approach allowed us to attain unequivocal assignment of all four diselenide bonds and supplemental MD simulations allowed characterization of the conformational dynamics around each disulfide/diselenide bridge.

Abstract
Spectral resolution in proton NMR spectroscopy is reduced by the splitting of resonances into multiplets due to the effect of homonuclear scalar couplings. Although these effects are often hidden in protein NMR spectroscopy by low digital resolution and routine apodization, behind the scenes homonuclear scalar couplings increase spectral overcrowding. The possibilities for biomolecular NMR offered by new pure shift NMR methods are illustrated here. Both resolution and sensitivity are improved, without any increase in experiment time. In these experiments, free induction decays are collected in short bursts of data acquisition, with durations short on the timescale of J-evolution, interspersed with suitable refocusing elements. The net effect is real-time (t 2) broadband homodecoupling, suppressing the multiplet structure caused by proton-proton interactions. The key feature of the refocusing elements is that they discriminate between the resonances of active (observed) and passive (coupling partner) spins. This can be achieved either by using band-selective refocusing or by the BIRD element, in both cases accompanied by a nonselective 180° proton pulse. The latter method selects the active spins based on their one-bond heteronuclear J-coupling to (15)N, while the former selects a region of the (1)H spectrum. Several novel pure shift experiments are presented, and the improvements in resolution and sensitivity they provide are evaluated for representative samples: the N-terminal domain of PGK; ubiquitin; and two mutants of the small antifungal protein PAF. These new experiments, delivering improved sensitivity and resolution, have the potential to replace the current standard HSQC experiments.

Abstract
A broadband proton–proton-decoupled CPMG-HSQMBC method for the precise and direct measurement of long-range heteronuclear coupling constants is presented. The Zangger–Sterk-based homodecoupling scheme reported herein efficiently removes unwanted proton–proton splittings from the heteronuclear multiplets, so that the desired heteronuclear couplings can be determined simply by measuring frequency differences between singlet maxima in the resulting spectra. The proposed pseudo-1D/2D pulse sequences were tested on nucleotides, a metal complex incorporating P heterocycles, and diglycosyl (di)selenides, as well as on other carbohydrate derivatives, for the extraction of nJ(1H,31P), nJ(1H,77Se), and nJ(1H,13C) values, respectively.

Abstract
We report broadband proton-decoupled CLIP/CLAP-HSQC experiments for the accurate determination of one-bond heteronuclear couplings and, by extension, for the reliable measurement of small residual dipolar coupling constants. The combination of an isotope-selective BIRD((d)) filter module with a non-selective (1)H inversion pulse is employed to refocus proton-proton coupling evolution prior to the acquisition of brief chunks of free induction decay that are subsequently assembled to reconstruct the fully-decoupled signal evolution. As a result, the cross-peaks obtained are split only by the heteronuclear one-bond coupling along the F2 dimension, allowing coupling constants to be extracted by measuring simple frequency differences between singlet maxima. The proton decoupling scheme presented has also been utilized in standard HSQC experiments, resulting in a fully-decoupled pure shift correlation map with significantly improved resolution.
