4D NOESY

Once a global fold has been established for a protein, a complete high-resolution 3D structure of the protein can then be calculated using distance constraints derived from 4D- C/ N-separated and C/ C-separated NOESY data. The analysis of these 4D NOESY data sets should be facilitated by the previous determination of the protein global fold.

The potential to extend 2-dimensional covariance NMR to higher dimensionality has its foundations in Eq. (5.13). Thus, Snyder et al. [16] laid the basis for the computation of 4D NOESY spectra. In their strategy, the critical entry point consisted of considering a 4D data set an array of 2D data or a plane-of-planes. In order to Ulustrate the calculations, the terms donor and acceptor planes in combination with donor and acceptor pairs were coined. It should be noted that an acceptor plane is associated with each donor pair 01,0)2) at frequencies < i and < 2- Mapping of either the acceptor planes onto the donor planes or vice versa describes the projection of a dimension onto another, which leads to an increase for direct covariance or to a decrease for indirect covariance in dimensionality of resolution.

The most straightforward isotope-editing method for selecting protons bound to a heteronucleus and suppressing all others is the simple acquisition of a spectrum with an indirect heteronuclear dimension (in the literature the term isotope editing is often used as a synonym for these techniques). This can be accomplished by a simple 2D HMQC or HSQC shift correlation, or a more elaborate 3D technique including an additional NOESY or TOCSY step (3D X-edited NOESY/TOCSY etc.), or even 4D experiments with a second heteronuclear shift dimension [13, 14]. 

The spectral assignment process, complex as it is, is only a prelude to the use of NMR data to assist in the final determination of the three-dimensional structure of the protein. Here, the most important experiment is NOESY, often in conjunction with HMQC or other methods for spreading out the 2D NOESY peaks in three or four dimensions. For larger proteins 4D experiments are essential to spread the NOESY peaks according to both 13C and 15N chemical shifts. We... 

In a later study, a high resolution structure of the complete ascomycin-FKBP complex was calculated by heteronuclear 3D and 4D NMR by Meadows et al. (120). Elniformly labeled [ N]FKBP and [ C, N]FKBP were prepared and incubated with unlabeled ascomycin to form the complexes. Three-dimensional NOESY-HSQC spectra, resolved according to shifts, were used to obtain the NH-NH NOEs within FKBP. CH-NH NOEs were de-rivedfrom a4D [ C, H, N/H]-NOESY spectrum of the doubly labeled material in HgO... 

A global fold of a protein may be determined from the analysis of a 4D N/ N-separated NOESY spectrum collected on perdeuterated protein once the mainchain and sidechain resonances have been assigned (11). Detection...

The main emphasis of current carbohydrate structural analysis is the applicability of modern multi-dimensional NMR for solving the two crucial problems in complex carbohydrate structural analysis, namely, the elucidation of the sequence of glycosyl residues and the solution conformation and dynamics of a carbohydrate (150). Techniques include 2D Total Correlation Spectroscopy (TOCSY), Nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY), rotational nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (ROES Y),hetero-nuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC), heteronuclear multiple quantum correlation (HMQC), heteronuclear multiple bond correlation (HMBC), and (pseudo) 3D and 4D extensions. 

As mentioned, non-invasive or passive techniques have been added to many multidimensional and multinuclear pulse sequences such as the 2D edited-HSQC up to more complicated 3D and 4D heteronuclear-based NOESYs. The basic principle is to use a relatively long selective pulse to manipulate water.
