A simple, sensitivity-enhanced HSQC experiment is described which separates the upfield and downfield components in the indirect dimension into different subspectra. The sequence is similar to the generalized TROSY scheme; however, decoupling of the X-nucleus is used during detection. A detailed analysis of relaxation effects, precision and sensitivity of the method is presented. The approach is demonstrated in a two-dimensional water flip-back 1H-15N HSQC which measures 1JHN splittings in isotropic and oriented samples of ubiquitin and the hepatitis C protease. The results are in excellent agreement with splittings obtained from a conventional 1H-coupled HSQC.
