Pulse sequences for the six 1H-detected 13C–15N–1H 3D correlation experiments,
with an illustration of the coherence transfers and spins involved:
(a) inter-residue (H)CONH experiment (COi-1NiHi), (b) intraresidue (H)CO(CA)NH experiment (COiNiHi), (c) intraresidue (H)CANH experiment (CAiNiHi), (d) inter-residue (H)(CO)CA(CO)NH experiment (CAi-1NiHi), (e) intraresidue (H)(CA)CB(CA)NH experiment (CBiNiHi), and (f) inter-residue (H)(CA)CB(CACO)NH experiment (CBi-1NiHi). Narrow and broad black rectangles indicate π/2
and π pulses, respectively, and bell shapes represent selective
inversion pulses. Orange boxes indicate cross-polarization, and gray
boxes indicate heteronuclear decoupling. The MISSISSIPPI sequence
is indicated by the striped box. Spin-echoes involved in the transfer
between CO and CA are highlighted in blue and red, when the coherence
is present on the CO and CA, respectively, and spin-echoes involved
in transfer between CA and CB are highlighted in green. All pulses
are of phases 0, unless indicated differently. (a and c) φ1

Specific CP to or from 13C may require a frequency shift,
and in this case, the phases of rf during the two 13C CP
periods are aligned respectively at the end and at the beginning of
the contact time. In the diagrams, filled circles denote spins for
which the frequency of evolution is measured. Solid lines represent
transfers between bonded nuclei and dashed lines between nonbonded
nuclei.
