Abstract
2D NMR is extensively used in many different fields, and its potential for the study of complex biochemical or chemical mixtures has been widely demonstrated. 2D NMR gives the ability to resolve peaks that overlap in 1D spectra, while providing both structural and quantitative information. However, complex mixtures are often analysed in situations where the data acquisition time is a crucial limitation, due to an ongoing chemical reaction or a moving sample from a hyphenated technique, or to the high-throughput requirement associated with large sample collections. Among the great diversity of available fast 2D methods, ultrafast (or single-scan) 2D NMR is probably the most general and versatile approach for complex mixture analysis. Indeed, ultrafast NMR has undergone an impressive number of methodological developments that have helped turn it into an efficient analytical tool, and numerous applications to the analysis of mixtures have been reported. This review first summarizes the main concepts, features and practical limitations of ultrafast 2D NMR, as well as the methodological developments that improved its analytical potential. Then, a detailed description of the main applications of ultrafast 2D NMR to mixture analysis is given. The two major application fields of ultrafast 2D NMR are first covered, i.e., reaction/process monitoring and metabolomics. Then, the potential of ultrafast 2D NMR for the analysis of hyperpolarized mixtures is described, as well as recent developments in oriented media. This review focuses on high-resolution liquid-state 2D experiments (including benchtop NMR) that include at least one spectroscopic dimension (i.e., 2D spectroscopy and DOSY) but does not cover in depth applications without spectral resolution and/or in inhomogeneous fields.

Abstract
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are analytical and diagnostic tools that are essential for a very broad field of applications, ranging from chemical analytics, to non-destructive testing of materials and the investigation of molecular dynamics, to in vivo medical diagnostics and drug research. One of the major challenges in their application to many problems is the inherent low sensitivity of magnetic resonance, which results from the small energy-differences of the nuclear spin-states. At thermal equilibrium at room temperature the normalized population difference of the spin-states, called the Boltzmann polarization, is only on the order of 10-5. Parahydrogen induced polarization (PHIP) is an efficient and cost-effective hyperpolarization method, which has widespread applications in Chemistry, Physics, Biochemistry, Biophysics, and Medical Imaging. PHIP creates its signal-enhancements by means of a reversible (SABRE) or irreversible (classic PHIP) chemical reaction between the parahydrogen, a catalyst, and a substrate. Here, we first give a short overview about parahydrogen-based hyperpolarization techniques and then review the current literature on method developments and applications of various flavors of the PHIP experiment.

Abstract
Relaxation and diffusion NMR measurements offer an approach to studying rotational and translational motion of molecules non-invasively, and they also provide chemical resolution complementary to NMR spectra. Multidimensional experiments enable the correlation of relaxation and diffusion parameters as well as the observation of molecular exchange phenomena through relaxation or diffusion contrast. This review describes how to accelerate multidimensional relaxation and diffusion measurements significantly through spatial encoding. This so-called ultrafast Laplace NMR approach shortens the experiment time to a fraction and makes even single-scan experiments possible. Single-scan experiments, in turn, significantly facilitate the use of nuclear spin hyperpolarization methods to boost sensitivity. The ultrafast Laplace NMR method is also applicable with low-field, mobile NMR instruments, and it can be exploited in many disciplines. For example, it has been used in studies of the dynamics of fluids in porous materials, identification of intra- and extracellular metabolites in cancer cells, and elucidation of aggregation phenomena in atmospheric surfactant solutions.

Abstract
Cleistanthus collinus leaf extracts are consumed for suicidal purposes in southern India. The boiled decoction is known to be more toxic than the fresh leaf juice. Although several compounds have been isolated and their toxicity tested, controversy remains as to which compounds are responsible for the high level of toxicity of C. collinus. We report herein that cleistanthoside A is the major toxin in the boiled aqueous extract of fresh leaves and causes death in rats in small doses. The toxicity of the boiled extract prepared in the manner described can be attributed entirely to cleistanthoside A. Cleistanthin A could also be isolated from the boiled extract, albeit in trace amounts. As hypotension not responding to vasoconstrictors is the cause of death in patients who have consumed the boiled extract, effects of cleistanthoside A on the determinants of blood pressure, namely, force of cardiac contraction and vascular resistance, were tested in isolated organ experiments. Cleistanthoside A has a direct vasoconstrictor effect; however, it inhibits ventricular contractility. Therefore, the notion that the shock in C. collinus poisoning is of vascular origin must be considered carefully, and the possibility of cardiogenic shock must be studied. We present the crystal structure of cleistanthin A and show the potency of fast NMR methods (NOAH4-BSCN-NUS) in the full spectral assignment of cleistanthoside A as a real-world sample of a natural product. We also compare the results of the NOAH4-BSCN-NUS NMR experiments with conventional NMR methods.

Abstract
Multiplexing NMR experiments by direct detection of multiple free induction decays (FIDs) in a single experiment offers a dramatic increase in the spectral information content and often yields significant improvement in sensitivity per unit time. Experiments with multi-FID detection have been designed with both homonuclear and multinuclear acquisition, and the advent of multiple receivers on commercial spectrometers opens up new possibilities for recording spectra from different nuclear species in parallel. Here we provide an extensive overview of such techniques, designed for applications in liquid- and solid-state NMR as well as in hyperpolarized samples. A brief overview of multinuclear MRI is also provided, to stimulate cross fertilization of ideas between the two areas of research (NMR and MRI). It is shown how such techniques enable the design of experiments that allow structure elucidation of small molecules from a single measurement. Likewise, in biomolecular NMR experiments multi-FID detection allows complete resonance assignment in proteins. Probes with multiple RF microcoils routed to multiple NMR receivers provide an alternative way of increasing the throughput of modern NMR systems, effectively reducing the cost of NMR analysis and increasing the information content at the same time. Solid-state NMR experiments have also benefited immensely from both parallel and sequential multi-FID detection in a variety of multi-dimensional pulse schemes. We are confident that multi-FID detection will become an essential component of future NMR methodologies, effectively increasing the sensitivity and information content of NMR measurements.

Abstract
The first recognition of protein breathing was more than 50 years ago. Today, we are able to detect the multitude of interaction modes, structural polymorphisms, and binding-induced changes in protein structure that direct function. Solution-state NMR spectroscopy has proved to be a powerful technique, not only to obtain high-resolution structures of proteins, but also to provide unique insights into the functional dynamics of proteins. Here, we summarize recent technical landmarks in solution NMR that have enabled characterization of key biological macromolecular systems. These methods have been fundamental to atomic resolution structure determination and quantitative analysis of dynamics over a wide range of time scales by NMR. The ability of NMR to detect lowly populated protein conformations and transiently formed complexes plays a critical role in its ability to elucidate functionally important structural features of proteins and their dynamics.

Abstract
A family of high-resolution NMR methods share the common concept of acquiring in parallel different sub-experiments in different spatial regions of the NMR tube. These spatial encoding and spatial selection methods were for the most part introduced independently from each other and serve different purposes, but they share common ingredients, often derived from magnetic resonance imaging, and they all benefit from a greatly improved time-efficiency. This review article provides a description of several spatial encoding and spatial selection methods, including single-scan multidimensional experiments (ultrafast 2D NMR, DOSY, Z spectroscopy, inversion recovery and Laplace NMR), pure shift and selective refocusing experiments (including Zangger-Sterk decoupling, G-SERF and PSYCHE), a Z filter, and fast-pulsing slice-selective experiments. Some key elements for spatial parallelisation are introduced and when possible a common framework is used for the analysis of each method. Sensitivity considerations are discussed, and a selection of applications is analysed to illustrate which questions can be answered thanks to spatial encoding and spatial selection methods, and discuss the perspectives for future developments and applications.

Abstract
Thanks to their special spatiotemporal encoding/decoding scheme, ultrafast (UF) NMR sequences can deliver arbitrary 2D spectra following a single excitation. Regardless of their nature, these sequences have in common their tracing of a path in the [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text] plane, that will deliver the spectrum being sought after a 1D Fourier transformation versus [Formula: see text]. This need to simultaneously digitize two domains, tends to impose bandwidth limitations along all spectral axes. Along the [Formula: see text]/[Formula: see text] dimension this problem is exacerbated by the fact that odd and even time points are not equispaced, and by additional artifacts such as time shifts between time points sampled while under the action of positive and negative decoding gradients. As a result, odd and even [Formula: see text] points are typically Fourier transformed separately, halving the potential spectral width along this dimension. While this halving of the [Formula: see text] span can be overcome by an interlaced Fourier transform, this post-processing is seldom used because of its sensitivity to hardware inaccuracies requiring even finer corrections of the even/odd [Formula: see text] data points. These corrections have so far been done manually, but are challenging to implement when dealing with low signal-to-noise ratio signals like those associated with biomolecular NMR experiments. This study introduces an algorithm for an automatic correction of all even/odd ultrafast NMR inconsistencies, based on the acquisition of a reference scan on the solvent. This algorithm was verified experimentally using an [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text] UF-HSQC variant on ubiquitin at 600 MHz. Features of this method as well as of the interlaced Fourier transformation in general, are discussed.
