Abstract:
Solution NMR spectroscopy has tremendous potential for providing atomic resolution insights into the interactions between proteins and nucleic acids partitioned into condensed phases of phase-separated systems. However, the highly viscous nature of the condensed phase challenges applications, and in particular, the extraction of quantitative, site-specific information. Here, we present a delayed decoupling-based HMQC pulse sequence for methyl-TROSY studies of 'client' proteins and nucleic acids partitioned into 'scaffold' proteinaceous phase-separated solvents. High sensitivity and excellent quality spectra are recorded of a nascent form of superoxide dismutase and of a small RNA fragment partitioned into CAPRIN1 condensates.
