We show that perdeuterated side chain of leucine amino acid and related compounds can serve as a useful structural reporter, suitable for studying proteins using two-dimensional infrared (2DIR) spectroscopy. Strong direct-coupling C-D/C=O and C-D/Am-II cross-peaks were measured by dual-frequency 2DIR in these compounds. The direct-coupling cross peaks were further enhanced up to 5 fold using the relaxation-assisted 2DIR method. The energy transport times (arrival times) and amplification factors were measured and used to assign the C-D absorption peaks and these assignments were compared with the results of anharmonic DFT calculations.
