The combination of transferred-echo double resonance (TEDOR) with rotational-echo double resonance (REDOR) has been used to measure an 8-? fluorine-carbon internuclear distance in a nine-residue fragment of the peptide antibiotic emerimicin. The fragment is 19FCH2CO-Phe-MeA-MeA-[1-13C]MeA-[ 15N]Val-Gly-Leu-MeA-MeA-OBzl (MeA = α-methylalanine or aminoisobutyric acid). The TEDOR part of this magic-angle-spinning, solid-state NMR experiment selects the 13C label by its dipolar coupling to 15N and suppresses the natural-abundance carbon background. The REDOR part of the experiment measures dipolar coupling of the selected carbon to 19F. The TEDOR-REDOR combined experiment works with a variety of spin 1/2 nuclei and can be used to characterize internuclear distances and geometry in macromolecular aggregates that do not crystallize.
