Nature. 418:2002;207-211 TROSY and CRINEPT NMR experiments are applied to the homoheptameric co-chaperonin GroES (72 kDa), either free in solution or in complex with the homotetradecameric chaperonin GroEL (800 kDa) or the single-ring GroEL variant SR1 (400 kDa). This paper establishes the use of TROSY and CRINEPT techniques for solution NMR studies of large macromolecular complexes up to 900 kDa, a size that has been generally considered to be inaccessible to analysis by solution NMR spectroscopy.

The assignments are based on new TROSY-type NMR experiments combined with selective methyl group protonation on an otherwise deuterated background. The results increase the potential of solution NMR for de novo structure determination and for functional studies of large proteins.

Almost complete backbone assignments were achieved by the application of 4D TROSY-based NMR experiments, demonstrating that monomeric proteins of this size are accessible to structural and functional studies by solution NMR.

The presence of this hydrogen bond was demonstrated by the measurement of trans hydrogen-bond couplings and by the transfer of polarization across the hydrogen bond. This technique provides unique information about the enzyme and its complexes, which is very useful for structural refinement of atomic models.
