ABSTRACT
Triarylmethyl (TAM)-based labels, while still underutilized, are a powerful class of labels for pulsed-Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) distance measurements. They feature slow relaxation rates for long-lasting signals, high stability for cellular experiments, and narrow spectral features for efficient excitation of the spins. However, the typical narrow line shape limits the available distance measurements to only single-frequency experiments, such as Double Quantum Coherence (DQC) and Relaxation Induced Dipolar Modulation Enhancement (RIDME), which can be complicated to perform or hard to process. Therefore, widespread usage of TAM labels can be enhanced by the use of Double Electron-Electron Resonance (DEER) distance measurements. In this work, we developed a new spin label, 13C1-mOX063-d24, with a 13C isotope as the radical center. Due to the resolved hyperfine splitting, the spectrum is sufficiently broadened to permit DEER-based experiments at Q-band spectrometers. Additionally, this new label can be incorporated orthogonally with Cu(II)-based protein label. The orthogonal labeling scheme enables DEER distance measurement at X-band frequencies. Overall, the new trityl label allows for DEER-based distance measurements that complement existing TAM-label DQC and RIDME experiments.
