PopZΔ134−177 was buffer exchanged into Buffer F.
The protein was concentrated and D2O, NaN3, and DSS were
added to a 5% v/v, 4 mM, and 0.2 mM concentration, respectively, at a final
PopZΔ134−177 concentration of 0.20 mM. The protein
sample was used to rehydrate a 5.4 mm or 6.0 mm (outer diameter) gel previously
cast and dehydrated (see
preparation
4.2 mm (inner diameter) NMR tube for RDC NMR experiments. The
1H-15N HSQC NMR spectrum was collected at 25 °C
on a Bruker AVANCE III HD 800 MHz NMR spectrometer equipped with a 5-mm triple
resonance inverse TCI CryoProbe.
