A new NMR experiment is described for recording NOEs from Val andIle methyl groups in
15N,
13C-labeled or methyl-protonated,
15N,
13C,
2H-labeled proteins thatoffers far superior resolution than conventional3D
13C-edited NOESY data sets. Resolution is achievedby recording both the C

2 (Ile)chemical shifts as well as the chemical shift of the destinationproton, and a strategy is introduced for refocusinghomonuclear carbon couplings during the constant-time evolution ofC

carbon magnetization. The utility ofthe method is demonstrated with applications on a 160-residue fullyprotonated
15N,
13C-labeled, dNumbPTBdomain-peptide complex and a methyl protonated, highly deuterated
15N,
13C-labeled complex of maltosebinding protein and
