TLDR
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

Solid state CPMAS 13C and 15N NMR spectroscopy in organic geochemistry and how spin dynamics can either aggravate or improve spectra interpretation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a brief introduction to the basic principles of CPMAS NMR and give some explanation about the potential source of non-quantitative results, which are necessary for the correct adjustment of NMR acquisition parameters.

Solid-State NMR Analysis of the PGLa Peptide Orientation in DMPC Bilayers: Structural Fidelity of 2H-Labels versus High Sensitivity of 19F-NMR
TL;DR: Comparison with previous 19F-NMR constraints from 4-CF3-phenylglycine labels shows that the structure and orientation of the PGLa peptide is not much disturbed even by these bulky nonnatural side chains, which contain CF3 groups that offer a 20-fold better NMR sensitivity than CD3 groups.

Core Structure of Amyloid Fibrils Formed by Residues 106–126 of the Human Prion Protein
TL;DR: The results reveal that PrP(106-126) forms in-register parallel beta sheets, stacked in an antiparallel fashion within the mature fibril, providing a rational for the sequence-dependent behavior of PrP ( 106-126), and provide a basis for further investigation of its biological properties.

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.
