In this article, a simple two pulse phase modulation (TPPM) scheme was proposed to reduce the residual linewidths arising from insufficient proton decoupling power in double resonance magic angle spinning (MAS) experiments.Abstract:
A simple two pulse phase modulation (TPPM) scheme greatly reduces the residual linewidths arising from insufficient proton decoupling power in double resonance magic angle spinning (MAS) experiments. Optimization of pulse lengths and phases in the sequence produces substantial improvements in both the resolution and sensitivity of dilute spins (e.g., 13C) over a broad range of spinning speeds at high magnetic field. The theoretical complications introduced by large homo‐ and heteronuclear interactions among the spins, as well as the amplitude modulation imposed by MAS, are explored analytically and numerically. To our knowledge, this method is the first phase‐switched sequence to exhibit improvement over continuous‐wave (cw) decoupling in a strongly coupled homogeneous spin system undergoing sample spinning.read more

TL;DR: The reported assignments allow us to compare predicted torsion angles for VDAC prepared in DMPC 2D lipid crystals, DMPC liposomes, and LDAO-solubilized samples to address the possible effects of the membrane mimetic environment on the conformation of the protein.

TL;DR: Investigations reveal the existence of more substantial binding between tin and chlorine in comparison to the triflate substituent and provide a rationale for the considerably increased reactivity of the chloride salts.

TL;DR: A general approach is established for high-resolution structural studies of membrane proteins in lipid environments via solid-state NMR, demonstrated by extensive 1H-based resonance assignments of the fully protonated heptahelical membrane protein proteorhodopsin and the efficient identification of numerous 1H–1H dipolar interactions.

Proton‐enhanced NMR of dilute spins in solids
TL;DR: In this article, the NMR signals of isotopically or chemically dilute nuclear spins S in solids can be enhanced by repeatedly transferring polarization from a more abundant species I of high abundance (usually protons) to which they are coupled.

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectra from a Crystal rotated at High Speed
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that when these weak side-spectra are included the second moment does indeed remain invariant even though the second moments of the central portion, which is all that is observed experimentally, becomes smaller.

An improved sequence for broadband decoupling: WALTZ-16
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of the proton irradiation sequence by means of a train of spin rotation operators, the overall effect at the end of the cycle being calculated by explicit matrix multiplication, the offset dependence of this proton response determined the residual splitting of the carbon-13 resonance and hence the effectiveness of the decoupling.
