a The rotational correlation time τc was estimated from the molecular mass following Ref. 38.
b The average amide proton and nitrogen line widths (LW) at 800 MHz were calculated from coordinates of the crystal structure of ubiquitin as a model, using different rotational correlation times. The calculations took into account all dipole-dipole interactions with all magnetic nuclei in the molecule, and 1H CSA or 15N CSA relaxation. 1H-15N dipolar/1H CSA or 1H-15N/15N CSA cross-correlated R2 relaxation was taken into account for the columns marked “TROSY.” We assumed uniform 15N labeling, no 13C, or 2H labeling.
c In TROSY, there are three transfer periods with 1HN coherence, which all are tuned to 1/2JNH (5 ms). The transfer efficiency is reduced by 1H R2 relaxation. In total, I = I0 (exp(−3.1416 × LW × 0.005))3. The relevant line widths during these transfers are listed in the column marked “1HN HSQC LW.” Rel., relative.
d The peak height for 10 kDa was taken as a standard. The peak heights for other molecular weights were computed by taking the ratio of the relevant transfer efficiencies divided by the ratio of the relevant 1H TROSY linewidths (the latter affects peak height during data acquisition). The effect of increasing 15N line width on the TROSY peak intensity is minimal because of the short 15N acquisition time used and was not included in the calculation; a.u., absorbance units.
