Abstract
With perdeuteration, solid-state NMR spectroscopy of large proteins suffers from incomplete amide-proton back-exchange. Using a 72 kDa micro-crystalline protein, we show that deuteration exclusively via deuterated amino acids, well-established in solution to suppress sidechain protonation without proton back-exchange obstacles, provides spectral resolution comparable to perdeuterated preparations at intermediate spinning frequencies.
