A method is described for sequential resonance assignment of protein 1 H‐NMR spectra relying on the detection of long‐range correlations between 15 N and C α H atoms using 1 H‐detected heteronuclear multiple‐bond correlation spectroscopy. In particular, the observation of the two‐bond 15 N( i )‐C α H( i ) and three‐bond 15 N( i )‐C α H( i −1) correlations enables one to connect one residue with the next. Because the magnitude of the long‐range couplings is small (<6 Hz), the sensitivity of this experiment is necessarily low and requires the use of 15 N‐enriched protein samples. Further, because the size of the 15 N( i )‐C α H( i −1) coupling is very sensitive to the ψ backbone torsion angle, structural information can be derived. The application of this experiment is illustrated with the 75‐residue DNA‐binding protein ner from phage Mu.
