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.

Signal assignment and secondary structure analysis of a uniformly [13C, 15N]-labeled membrane protein, H +-ATP synthase subunit c, by magic-angle spinning solid-state NMR.

TL;DR: It was revealed that the subunit c in the solid state could be specified by $$\upalpha$$-helices with a loop structure in the middle (at sequence 41–45) as in the case of the solution structure in spite of additional extended conformations at 76–79 at the C-terminus.

Multinuclear solid state NMR investigation of two polymorphic forms of ciprofloxacin-saccharinate.

TL;DR: Two polymorphic forms of a novel pharmaceutical compound, ciprofloxacin-saccharinate (CIP-SAC) are analyzed using one dimensional and two dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) at fast magic angle spinning (MAS) to arrive at conclusions about hydrogen bonding, conformation, and intra and inter-molecular interactions present in these compounds.

15N chemical shift tensor magnitude and orientation in the molecular frame of uracil determined via MAS NMR.

TL;DR: The potential of heteronuclear MAS NMR spectroscopy for the characterization of (15)N chemical shift (CS) tensors in multiply labeled systems has been illustrated, in one of the first studies of this type, by a measurement of the chemical shift tensor magnitude and orientation in the molecular frame for the two ( 15)N sites of uracil.

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.
