Sections from 1H-13C HSQC spectra of polar cell extracts illustrating spectral improvements obtained using acquisition mode of the indirect directions States rather than Echo-AntiEcho in HSQCs with NUS. (ad) Show slices and spectral regions for L-lactic acid resonances from 1H,13C-HSQC spectra for HuH7 cells grown for 12 hours in a medium containing [U-13C] glucose. Echo-antiecho-1H,13C-HSQC spectra acquired for samples in a mixed 90% H2O/10% D2O NMR buffer (panels a and b) and conventional 1H,13C-HSQC spectra acquired for samples in a D2O buffer (panels c and d). The high resolution in the 13C dimension obtained with 25% NUS sampling over 8k complex points is illustrated in panels e and f where the different couplings obtained from the PC-derived 13C213C3 and PDH-derived 13C2-13C1 moieties are clearly resolved in the L-aspartic acid (e) and L-malic acid (f) H2C2 resonances. (g) shows the alanine H2/C2 resonance at 3.78/53.2ppm from GLOR cells labelled with [U-13C]glucose and [15N]glutamine. The complexity of the 15N-undecoupled (blue) spectrum arises from the superimposition of resonances from mainly [13C-]alanine with a small proportion of [15N,13C]alanine. While JC2C3 and JC1C2 produce a well-resolved doublet of doublets. For [15N,13C]alanine, these 4 resonances are further split by the small JC2N2 coupling. The resulting spectrum is further complicated by a 14N/15N isotope shift that causes overlap of one of the double components of [13C,15N]alanine with the resonance from [13C]alanine. (f): AXP (ADP and AMP) H1/C1 resonances at 6.15/89.7ppm from [15N,13C]glucose and [15N]glutamine labelled GLOR cells showing a complex pattern based on a doublet due to the large 1JC1C2 coupling in the undecoupled (blue) spectrum. Additional resonances are seen because a proportion of the C1 is directly attached to a 15N in the adenine ring. This complexity is reduced by 15N decoupling in the red spectrum but the remaining peaks appear broadened by the 14N/15N isotope shift45 on the directly-attached 13C.
