Abstract
Magnetic resonance techniques are successfully utilized in a broad range of scientific disciplines and in various practical applications, with medical magnetic resonance imaging being the most widely known example. Currently, both fundamental and applied magnetic resonance are enjoying a major boost owing to the rapidly developing field of spin hyperpolarization. Hyperpolarization techniques are able to enhance signal intensities in magnetic resonance by several orders of magnitude, and thus to largely overcome its major disadvantage of relatively low sensitivity. This provides new impetus for existing applications of magnetic resonance and opens the gates to exciting new possibilities. In this review, we provide a unified picture of the many methods and techniques that fall under the umbrella term "hyperpolarization" but are currently seldom perceived as integral parts of the same field. Specifically, before delving into the individual techniques, we provide a detailed analysis of the underlying principles of spin hyperpolarization. We attempt to uncover and classify the origins of hyperpolarization, to establish its sources and the specific mechanisms that enable the flow of polarization from a source to the target spins. We then give a more detailed analysis of individual hyperpolarization techniques: the mechanisms by which they work, fundamental and technical requirements, characteristic applications, unresolved issues, and possible future directions. We are seeing a continuous growth of activity in the field of spin hyperpolarization, and we expect the field to flourish as new and improved hyperpolarization techniques are implemented. Some key areas for development are in prolonging polarization lifetimes, making hyperpolarization techniques more generally applicable to chemical/biological systems, reducing the technical and equipment requirements, and creating more efficient excitation and detection schemes. We hope this review will facilitate the sharing of knowledge between subfields within the broad topic of hyperpolarization, to help overcome existing challenges in magnetic resonance and enable novel applications.

Abstract
Probing the protein surface accessibility of different residues is a powerful way of characterizing the overall conformation of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). We present a two-dimensional (2D) time-resolved photo-CIDNP (TR-CIDNP) experiment suitable for IDP analysis. Pulse stretching of high-power laser pulses, band-selective decoupling of 13Cα, and simultaneous application of radiofrequency and laser pulses were implemented to quantitatively analyze the IDP surface at ultrahigh resolution. Comparative analysis with other methods that measure protein surface accessibility validated the newly developed method and emphasized the importance of dye charge in photo-CIDNP. Using the neutral riboflavin dye, surface accessibilities were measured to be nearly identical for the four Tyr residues of α-synuclein (α-Syn), whose 1Hα-13Cα correlations were well-resolved in the 2D TR-CIDNP spectrum. Having confirmed the similarity between the time-resolved and steady-state photo-CIDNP results for α-Syn, we used the more sensitive latter method to show that divalent cations induce compaction of the C-terminal region and release of the N-terminal region of α-Syn. The photo-CIDNP method presented herein can be used as an orthogonal and independent method for investigating important biological processes associated with changes in the overall IDP conformation.

Abstract
Low-concentration photochemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (LC-photo-CIDNP) has recently emerged as a powerful technology for the detection of aromatic amino acids and proteins in solution in the low-micromolar to nanomolar concentration range. LC-photo-CIDNP is typically carried out in the presence of high-power lasers, which are costly and maintenance-heavy. Here, we show that LC-photo-CIDNP can be performed with light-emitting diodes (LEDs), which are inexpensive and much less cumbersome than lasers, laser diodes, flash lamps, or other light sources. When nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) sample concentration is within the low-micromolar to nanomolar range, as in LC-photo-CIDNP, replacement of lasers with LEDs leads to no losses in sensitivity. We also investigate the effect of optical-fiber thickness and compare excitation rate constants of an Ar ion laser (488 nm) and a 466 nm LED, taking LED emission bandwidths into account. In addition, importantly, we develop a novel pulse sequence (13C RASPRINT) to perform ultrarapid LC-photo-CIDNP data collection. Remarkably, 13C RASPRINT leads to 4-fold savings in data collection time. The latter advance relies on the fact that photo-CID nuclear hyperpolarization does not suffer from the longitudinal-relaxation recovery requirements of conventional NMR. Finally, we combine both the above improvements, resulting in facile and rapid (≈16 s-2.5 min) collection of 1 and 2D NMR data on aromatic amino acids and proteins in solution at nanomolar to low micromolar concentration.
