Here, we demonstrate that the proposed N-15/C-13 variants of group-selective, "GS-STD" experiments provide a powerful approach to mapping the binding epitope of a ligand even in the absence of efficient spin diffusion within the target protein. Therefore, these experimental variants broaden the scope of STD studies to smaller and/or more-dynamic targets. The STD spectra obtained in four different experimental setups (selective H-1 STD, N-15 GS-STD, C-13(Ar) and C-13(aliphatic) GS-STD approaches) revealed that the signal-intensity pattern of the difference spectra is affected by both the type and the spatial distribution of the excited "transmitter" atoms, as well as by the efficiency of the spin-diffusion-mediated magnetization transfer. The performance of the experiments is demonstrated on a system by using the lectin, galectin-1 and its carbohydrate ligand, lactose.}, keywords = {BINDING; RECEPTOR; PROTEIN; CANCER; SPECTROSCOPY; MOLECULAR RECOGNITION; EXCITATION; lectin; Galectin-1; NMR spectroscopy; molecular dynamics; TRANSFER DIFFERENCE NMR; saturation transfer difference spectroscopy; host-guest chemistry}, year = {2010}, eissn = {1439-7633}, pages = {2182-2187}, orcid-numbers = {Wéber, Edit/0000-0002-5904-0619; Martinek, Tamás/0000-0003-3168-8066; Monostori, Éva/0000-0002-7442-3562; Batta, Gyula/0000-0002-0442-1828} }
