We describe the first direct observation of N-H···O=C hydrogen bonding in nucleic acids via thefour-bond 4hJNiNj coupling within an N1i-H1i···O6j=C6j-N1j segment of a G·G·G·G tetrad. The experiment,two-dimensional (2D) HN(N)-TOCSY, makes use of band-selective 15N isotropic mixing to transfermagnetization exclusively via the 4hJNN couplings to yield correlations between N1Hi(2) and N1j(1) acrossthe hydrogen-bonded segment. In a complementary experiment, 2D cross-polarization (CP)-H(N)CO-(NN)-TOCSY, employing band-selective heteronuclear 15N-13C cross-polarization sequences on either side of the15N-15N TOCSY period, correlations are obtained between N1Hi(2) and C6j(1) nuclei across the hydrogenbond. The symmetric A2X2-type coupling topology of the four-spin nitrogen system in the G·G·G·G tetradpermits accurate measurement of these couplings by a new procedure that fits the experimental data withknown analytical isotropic mixing transfer functions. The techniques are demonstrated on a G·G·G·G tetradformed within a novel dimeric quadruplex fold of a uniformly 13C/15N-labeled d(G-G-G-T-T-C-A-G-G) DNAsequence. The value of the 4hJNN coupling constant for this system is estimated to be 0.136 ± 0.021 Hz.
