Sequential HNCACB pulse sequence
Delays: ' = _S =  (2J_NH)^-1; _I = (2J_NH)^-1 - _I; _CO = (2J_CCO)^-1;  = gradient delay; T_C = 14.3 ms, T = 22 ms, T' = 21 ms.
Phases for Varian Unity Inova:   = -y; {_I = y; _S = y - _S } echo (t₂ -> t₃), {_I = -y; _S = -y - _S } antiecho (t₂ -> t₃);
Phases for Bruker DRX:   = y; " =  + ; {_I = -y; _S = -y - _S } echo (t₂ -> t₃), {_I = y; _S = y - _S } antiecho (t₂-> t₃);
The uncompensated TROSY experiment employs _S = _I = 0.
Gradient ratios: (G1 : G2 : G3) = (-7 : 3 : 1.987) echo; (G1 : G2 : G3) = (-8 : 2 : 3.013) antiecho.

Superposition of first t₂ interferogram (echo) of sequential HNCACB (interresidual correlations) and edited intra residual HNCACB obtained by linear combination of HNCACB TROSY and sequential HNCACB in a ratio of 0.75 : -1. Sample: 4.18 mM ¹⁵N,¹³C-labeled CI2 21-83 (90% H₂O/10% D₂O, 25 deg. C, pH 4.2)

exp	s:	sequential HNCACB (default)
	c:	HNCACB TROSY (shaped CO  pulses are omitted).

To generate a selective water pulse shape, adjust ref_pwr and ref_pw90 in the file $HOME/vnmrsys/shapelib/water_sc.inp according to your proton pulse calibration and type the command: Pbox -f water_sc.inp

An output like
>>> Set pulse width to 1.0000 ms <<<
>>> Set pulse power to 21 dB <<<
appears.

Remember to change the parameters pwater (pulse width in us) and pwaterlvl (pulse power).

For generating a selective CO  pulse adjust ref_pwr and ref_pw90 in the file $HOME/vnmrsys/shapelib/ib_cob_off.inp according to your carbon pulse calibration. Adjust also the offset (ofs) to 140*dfrq when running at dof=36ppm. Apply the command: Pbox -f ib_cob_off.inp. change the parameters pwxcoilvl and pwxcoi according to the output. Apply the same procedure to the wurst2_cob.inp file.
 

Processing of 3D sequential HNCACB:

Data is States-TPPI in F1 and echo antiecho in F2. use your usual software for processing.

Installation:

For installation the compressed archive hncacb_seq.tar.Z containing all components is required. Copy the file into your $HOME directory uncomress (uncompress hncacb_seq.tar.Z) the file and unpack the archive (tar -xvf hncacb_seq.tar). The files will be copied to the appropriate location within the vnmrsys directory. Load the parameters within vnmr ($HOME/vnmrsys/parlib/hncacb_seq.par) and type the command seqgen(seqfil). Adjust Acquisition parameters (pulse lengths, offsets sweep widths, etc)
