The proton and nitrogen ({sup 15}NH-H{sup {alpha}}-H{sup {beta}}) resonances of bacteriophage T4 lysozyme were assigned by {sup 15}N-aided {sup 1}H NMR. The assignments were directed from the backbone amide {sup 1}H-{sup 15}N nuclei, with the heteronuclear single-multiple-quantum coherence (HSMQC) spectrum of uniformly {sup 15}N enriched protein serving as the master template for this work. The main-chain amide {sup 1}H-{sup 15}N resonances and H{sup {alpha}} resonances were resolved and classified into 18 amino acid types by using HMQC and {sup 15}N-edited COSY measurements, respectively, of T4 lysozymes selectively enriched with one or more of {alpha}-{sup 15}N-labeled Ala, Arg, Asn, Asp, Gly, Gln, Glu, Ile, Leu, Lys, Met, Phe, Ser, Thr, Trp, Tyr, or Val. The heteronuclear spectra were complemented by proton DQF-COSY and TOCSY spectra of unlabeled protein in H{sub 2}O and D{sub 2}O buffers, from which the H{sup {beta}} resonances of many residues were identified. The NOE cross peaks to almost every amide proton were resolved in {sup 15}N-edited NOESY spectra of the selectively {sup 15}N enriched protein samples. Residue specific assignments were determined by using NOE connectivities between protons in the {sup 15}NH-H{sup {alpha}}-H{sup {beta}} spin systems of known amino acid type. Additional assignments of the aromatic proton resonances were obtained from {sup 1}H NMR spectra of unlabeled and selectively deuterated protein samples. The secondary structure of T4 lysozyme indicated from a qualitative analysis of the NOESY data is consistent with the crystallographic model of the protein.
