Abstract
1H solid-state NMR spectra are plagued by low resolution, necessitating the use of complex pulse sequences or specialized equipment. We introduce a new resolution enhancement method, inspired by super-resolution microscopy, that uses a 2D Hahn-echo experiment to constrain deconvolution. The result is an effective doubling of the MAS frequency.

Abstract
Alginates are industrially relevant polysaccharides widely used in the food and biomedical industries for their excellent gelling properties. The growing emphasis on the valorization of marine resources has evidenced the need for alternative methods for the determination of both alginate content and the M/G ratio. This study describes the application of acid methanolysis and separation by anion exchange chromatography. Five samples, including alginates extracted from Saccharina latissima, Ascophyllum nodosum, a certified standard, and two poly-uronates (Poly-M and Poly-G), were analysed for their M/G ratio and alginate content at different treatment conditions, and compared with other conventionally used or reference methods (NMR, FTIR, and colorimetric methods). Quantitative estimation of alginate was relatively accurate at optimum conditions (4 h at 100 °C), as compared with the certified standard or with other colorimetric methods. M/G ratios were not significantly different from those determined after the reference method (1H NMR) or compared to FTIR protocols. The results evidence that methanolysis may be applied to simultaneously estimate the purity and M/G ratio of alginate-rich samples in a single analysis.

Abstract
Lorlatinib is an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) used in the treatment of lung cancer. Here, an NMR crystallography analysis is presented whereby the single-crystal X-ray diffraction structure (CSD: 2205098) determination is complemented by multinuclear (1H, 13C, 14/15N, 19F) magic-angle spinning (MAS) solid-state NMR and gauge-including projector augmented wave (GIPAW) calculation of NMR chemical shifts. Lorlatinib crystallises in the P21 space group, with two distinct molecules in the asymmetric unit cell, Z' = 2. Three of the four NH2 hydrogen atoms form intermolecular hydrogen bonds, N30-H…N15 between the two distinct molecules and N30-H…O2 between two equivalent molecules. This is reflected in one of the NH21H chemical shifts being significantly lower, 4.0 ppm compared to 7.0 ppm. Two-dimensional 1H-13C, 14N-1H and 1H (double-quantum, DQ)-1H (single-quantum, SQ) MAS NMR spectra are presented. The 1H resonances are assigned and specific HH proximities corresponding to the observed DQ peaks are identified. The resolution enhancement at a 1H Larmor frequency of 1 GHz as compared to 500 or 600 MHz is demonstrated.

Abstract
As an atom-efficient strategy for the large-scale interconversion of olefins, heterogeneously catalysed olefin metathesis sees commercial applications in the petrochemical, polymer and speciality chemical industries1. Notably, the thermoneutral and highly selective cross-metathesis of ethylene and 2-butenes1 offers an appealing route for the on-purpose production of propylene to address the C3 shortfall caused by using shale gas as a feedstock in steam crackers2,3. However, key mechanistic details have remained ambiguous for decades, hindering process development and adversely affecting economic viability4 relative to other propylene production technologies2,5. Here, from rigorous kinetic measurements and spectroscopic studies of propylene metathesis over model and industrial WOx/SiO2 catalysts, we identify a hitherto unknown dynamic site renewal and decay cycle, mediated by proton transfers involving proximal Brønsted acidic OH groups, which operates concurrently with the classical Chauvin cycle. We show how this cycle can be manipulated using small quantities of promoter olefins to drastically increase steady-state propylene metathesis rates by up to 30-fold at 250 °C with negligible promoter consumption. The increase in activity and considerable reduction of operating temperature requirements were also observed on MoOx/SiO2 catalysts, showing that this strategy is possibly applicable to other reactions and can address major roadblocks associated with industrial metathesis processes.

Abstract
Solid-state NMR spectroscopy is one of the most commonly used techniques to study the atomic-resolution structure and dynamics of various chemical, biological, material, and pharmaceutical systems spanning multiple forms, including crystalline, liquid crystalline, fibrous, and amorphous states. Despite the unique advantages of solid-state NMR spectroscopy, its poor spectral resolution and sensitivity have severely limited the scope of this technique. Fortunately, the recent developments in probe technology that mechanically rotate the sample fast (100 kHz and above) to obtain "solution-like" NMR spectra of solids with higher resolution and sensitivity have opened numerous avenues for the development of novel NMR techniques and their applications to study a plethora of solids including globular and membrane-associated proteins, self-assembled protein aggregates such as amyloid fibers, RNA, viral assemblies, polymorphic pharmaceuticals, metal-organic framework, bone materials, and inorganic materials. While the ultrafast-MAS continues to be developed, the minute sample quantity and radio frequency requirements, shorter recycle delays enabling fast data acquisition, the feasibility of employing proton detection, enhancement in proton spectral resolution and polarization transfer efficiency, and high sensitivity per unit sample are some of the remarkable benefits of the ultrafast-MAS technology as demonstrated by the reported studies in the literature. Although the very low sample volume and very high RF power could be limitations for some of the systems, the advantages have spurred solid-state NMR investigation into increasingly complex biological and material systems. As ultrafast-MAS NMR techniques are increasingly used in multidisciplinary research areas, further development of instrumentation, probes, and advanced methods are pursued in parallel to overcome the limitations and challenges for widespread applications. This review article is focused on providing timely comprehensive coverage of the major developments on instrumentation, theory, techniques, applications, limitations, and future scope of ultrafast-MAS technology.

Abstract
We show that multidimensional solid-state NMR 13C-13C correlation spectra of biomolecular assemblies and microcrystalline organic molecules can be acquired at natural isotopic abundance with only milligram quantities of sample. These experiments combine fast Magic Angle Spinning of the sample, low-power dipolar recoupling, and dynamic nuclear polarization performed with AsymPol biradicals, a recently introduced family of polarizing agents. Such experiments are essential for structural characterization as they provide short- and long-range distance information. This approach is demonstrated on diverse sample types, including polyglutamine fibrils implicated in Huntington's disease and microcrystalline ampicillin, a small antibiotic molecule.

Phys Chem Chem Phys 2022; 24:20258-20273. [PMID: 35975627 PMCID: PMC9429863 DOI: 10.1039/d2cp01041k] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2022] [Accepted: 07/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
The Lee-Goldburg condition for homonuclear decoupling in 1H magic-angle spinning (MAS) solid-state NMR sets the angle θ, corresponding to arctan of the ratio of the rf nutation frequency, ν1, to the rf offset, to be the magic angle, θm, equal to tan-1(√2) = 54.7°. At 60 kHz MAS, we report enhanced decoupling compared to MAS alone in a 1H spectrum of 15N-glycine with at θ = 30° for a ν1 of ∼100 kHz at a 1H Larmor frequency, ν0, of 500 MHz and 1 GHz, corresponding to a high chemical shift scaling factor (λCS) of 0.82. At 1 GHz, we also demonstrate enhanced decoupling compared to 60 kHz MAS alone for a lower ν1 of 51 kHz, i.e., a case where the nutation frequency is less than the MAS frequency, with θ = 18°, λCS = 0.92. The ratio of the rotor period to the decoupling cycle time, Ψ = τr/τc, is in the range 0.53 to 0.61. Windowed decoupling using the optimised parameters for a ν1 of ∼100 kHz also gives good performance in a 1H spin-echo experiment, enabling implementation in a 1H-detected 15N-1H cross polarisation (CP)-refocused INEPT heteronuclear correlation NMR experiment. Specifically, initial 15N transverse magnetisation as generated by 1H-15N CP is transferred back to 1H using a refocused INEPT pulse sequence employing windowed 1H decoupling. Such an approach ensures the observation of through-bond N-H connectivities. For 15N-glycine, while the CP-refocused INEPT experiment has a lower sensitivity (∼50%) as compared to a double CP experiment (with a 200 μs 15N to 1H CP contact time), there is selectivity for the directly bonded NH3+ moiety, while intensity is observed for the CH21H resonances in the double CP experiment. Two-dimensional 15N-1H correlation MAS NMR spectra are presented for the dipeptide β-AspAla and the pharmaceutical cimetidine at 60 kHz MAS, both at natural isotopic abundance. For the dipeptide β-AspAla, different build-up dependence on the first spin-echo duration is observed for the NH and NH3+ moieties demonstrating that the experiment could be used to distinguish resonances for different NHx groups.

Abstract
Techniques that can characterize the molecular structures of dilute surface species are required to facilitate the rational synthesis and improvement of Pt-based heterogeneous catalysts. 195Pt solid-state NMR spectroscopy could be an ideal tool for this task because 195Pt isotropic chemical shifts and chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) are highly sensitive probes of the local chemical environment and electronic structure. However, the characterization of Pt surface-sites is complicated by the typical low Pt loadings that are between 0.2 and 5 wt% and broadening of 195Pt solid-state NMR spectra by CSA. Here, we introduce a set of solid-state NMR methods that exploit fast MAS and indirect detection using a sensitive spy nucleus (1H or 31P) to enable the rapid acquisition of 195Pt MAS NMR spectra. We demonstrate that high-resolution wideline 195Pt MAS NMR spectra can be acquired in minutes to a few hours for a series of molecular and single-site Pt species grafted on silica with Pt loading of only 3-5 wt%. Low-power, long-duration, sideband-selective excitation, and saturation pulses are incorporated into t1-noise eliminated dipolar heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence, perfect echo resonance echo saturation pulse double resonance, or J-resolved pulse sequences. The complete 195Pt MAS NMR spectrum is then reconstructed by recording a series of 1D NMR spectra where the offset of the 195Pt pulses is varied in increments of the MAS frequency. Analysis of the 195Pt MAS NMR spectra yields the 195Pt chemical shift tensor parameters. Zeroth order approximation density functional theory calculations accurately predict 195Pt CS tensor parameters. Simple and predictive orbital models relate the CS tensor parameters to the Pt electronic structure and coordination environment. The methodology developed here paves the way for the detailed structural and electronic analysis of dilute platinum surface-sites.

Abstract
The long-range heteronuclear correlation remains a significant challenge in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), which is critical in the structural elucidation of biomolecular, material, and pharmaceutical solids. We propose a selective NMR method, heteronuclear selective phase-optimized recoupling (hetSPR), to selectively enhance long-range correlations of interest by utilizing characteristic chemical shifts. Compared to conventional methods, hetSPR can selectively enhance desired heteronuclear correlations (e.g., 1H-13C and 1H-19F) by factors up to 5 and largely suppress the unwanted ones. The method proves useful by enhancing the long-range correlation from an intermolecular 1H-19F distance of 4.8 Å by a factor of 2.4 in a fluorinated pharmaceutical drug, bicalutamide, under fast magic-angle spinning. It does not use selective pulses and is thus user-friendly even for nonexperts. The new method is expected to boost solid-state NMR to elucidate the structures of various solids.

Abstract
Since the first pioneering studies on small deuterated peptides dating more than 20 years ago, 1H detection has evolved into the most efficient approach for investigation of biomolecular structure, dynamics, and interactions by solid-state NMR. The development of faster and faster magic-angle spinning (MAS) rates (up to 150 kHz today) at ultrahigh magnetic fields has triggered a real revolution in the field. This new spinning regime reduces the 1H-1H dipolar couplings, so that a direct detection of 1H signals, for long impossible without proton dilution, has become possible at high resolution. The switch from the traditional MAS NMR approaches with 13C and 15N detection to 1H boosts the signal by more than an order of magnitude, accelerating the site-specific analysis and opening the way to more complex immobilized biological systems of higher molecular weight and available in limited amounts. This paper reviews the concepts underlying this recent leap forward in sensitivity and resolution, presents a detailed description of the experimental aspects of acquisition of multidimensional correlation spectra with fast MAS, and summarizes the most successful strategies for the assignment of the resonances and for the elucidation of protein structure and conformational dynamics. It finally outlines the many examples where 1H-detected MAS NMR has contributed to the detailed characterization of a variety of crystalline and noncrystalline biomolecular targets involved in biological processes ranging from catalysis through drug binding, viral infectivity, amyloid fibril formation, to transport across lipid membranes.

Abstract
Molecularly defined and classical heterogeneous Mo-based metathesis catalysts are shown to display distinct and unexpected reactivity patterns for the metathesis of long-chain α-olefins at low temperatures (<100 °C). Catalysts based on supported Mo oxo species, whether prepared via wet impregnation or surface organometallic chemistry (SOMC), exhibit strong activity dependencies on the α-olefin chain length, with slower reaction rates for longer substrate chain lengths. In contrast, molecular and supported Mo alkylidenes are highly active and do not display such dramatic dependence on the chain length. State-of-the-art two-dimensional (2D) solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy analyses of postmetathesis catalysts, complemented by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and molecular dynamics calculations, evidence that the activity decrease observed for supported Mo oxo catalysts relates to the strong adsorption of internal olefin metathesis products because of interactions with surface Si-OH groups. Overall, this study shows that in addition to the nature and the number of active sites, the metathesis rates and the overall catalytic performance depend on product desorption, even in the liquid phase with nonpolar substrates. This study further highlights the role of the support and active site composition and dynamics on activity as well as the need for considering adsorption in catalyst design.

Abstract
Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) often suffers from significant limitations due to the inherent low signal sensitivity when low-γ nuclei are involved. Herein, we report an elegant solid-state NMR approach for rapid structural analysis of minute amounts of organic solids. By encoding staggered chemical shift evolution in the indirect dimension and staggered acquisition in the 1H dimension, a proton-detected homonuclear 1H/1H and heteronuclear 13C/1H chemical shift correlation (HETCOR) spectrum can be obtained simultaneously in a single experiment at a fast magic-angle-spinning (MAS) condition with barely increasing the experimental time. We further show that during the conventional 1H-detected HETCOR experimental time, multiple homonuclear 1H/1H correlation spectra can be recorded in addition to the HETCOR spectrum, enabling the determination of 1H-1H distances. We establish that abundant 1H polarization can be efficiently manipulated and fully utilized in proton-detected solid-state NMR spectroscopy for extraction of more critical structural information and thus reduction of the total experimental time.

Abstract
This study introduces a conceptually new solvent suppression scheme with adiabatic inversion pulses for 1H-detected multidimensional solid-state NMR (SSNMR) of biomolecules and other systems, which is termed "Solvent suppression of Liquid signal with Adiabatic Pulse" (SLAP). 1H-detected 2D 13C/1H SSNMR data of uniformly 13C- and 15N-labeled GB1 sample using ultra-fast magic angle spinning at a spinning rate of 60 kHz demonstrated that the SLAP scheme showed up to 3.5-fold better solvent suppression performance over a traditional solvent-suppression scheme for SSNMR, MISSISSIPPI (Zhou and Rienstra, J Magn Reson 192:167-172, 2008) with 2/3 of the average RF power.

Abstract
Solid-state NMR spectroscopy is a powerful technique to study insoluble and non-crystalline proteins and protein complexes at atomic resolution. The development of proton (1H) detection at fast magic-angle spinning (MAS) has considerably increased the analytical capabilities of the technique, enabling the acquisition of 1H-detected fingerprint experiments in few hours. Here an approach based on double-quantum (DQ) 13C spectroscopy, detected on 1H, is proposed for fast MAS regime (> 60 kHz) to perform the sequential assignment of insoluble proteins of small size, without any specific deuteration requirement. By combining two three-dimensional 1H detected experiments correlating a 13C DQ dimension respectively to its intra-residue and sequential 15 N-1H pairs, a sequential walk through DQ (Ca + CO) resonance is obtained. The approach takes advantage of fast MAS to achieve an efficient sensitivity and the addition of a DQ dimension provides spectral features useful for the resonance assignment process.

Abstract
Amyloid-β (Aβ) fibrils in neuritic plaques are a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Since the 42-residue Aβ (Aβ42) fibril is the most pathogenic among different Aβ species, its structural characterization is crucial to our understanding of AD. While several polymorphs have been reported for Aβ40, previous studies of Aβ42 fibrils prepared at neutral pH detected essentially only one structure, with an S-shaped β-sheet arrangement (e.g., Xiao et al. Nat. Struct. Mol. Biol. 2015, 22, 499). Herein, we demonstrate the feasibility of characterizing the structure of trace amounts of brain-derived and synthetic amyloid fibrils by sensitivity-enhanced 1H-detected solid-state NMR (SSNMR) under ultrafast magic angle spinning. By taking advantage of the high sensitivity of this technique, we first demonstrate its applicability for the high-throughput screening of trace amounts of selectively 13C- and 15N-labeled Aβ42 fibril prepared with ∼0.01% patient-derived amyloid (ca. 4 pmol) as a seed. The comparison of 2D 13C/1H SSNMR data revealed marked structural differences between AD-derived Aβ42 (∼40 nmol or ∼200 μg) and synthetic fibrils in less than 10 min, confirming the feasibility of assessing the fibril structure from ∼1 pmol of brain amyloid seed in ∼2.5 h. We also present the first structural characterization of synthetic fully protonated Aβ42 fibril by 1H-detected 3D and 4D SSNMR. With procedures assisted by automated assignments, main-chain resonance assignments were completed for trace amounts (∼42 nmol) of a fully protonated amyloid fibril in the 1H-detection approach. The results suggest that this Aβ42 fibril exhibits a novel fold or polymorph structure.

Abstract
Infectious proteins or prions are a remarkable class of pathogens, where pathogenicity and infectious state correspond to conformational transition of a protein fold. The conformational change translates into the formation by the protein of insoluble amyloid aggregates, associated in humans with various neurodegenerative disorders and systemic protein-deposition diseases. The prion principle, however, is not limited to pathogenicity. While pathological amyloids (and prions) emerge from protein misfolding, a class of functional amyloids has been defined, consisting of amyloid-forming domains under natural selection and with diverse biological roles. Although of great importance, prion amyloid structures remain challenging for conventional structural biology techniques. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) has been preferentially used to investigate these insoluble, morphologically heterogeneous aggregates with poor crystallinity. SSNMR methods have yielded a wealth of knowledge regarding the fundamentals of prion biology and have helped to solve the structures of several prion and prion-like fibrils. Here, we will review pathological and functional amyloid structures and will discuss some of the obtained structural models. We will finish the review with a perspective on integrative approaches combining solid-state NMR, electron paramagnetic resonance and cryo-electron microscopy, which can complement and extend our toolkit to structurally explore various facets of prion biology.

Abstract
The available magnetic field strength for high resolution NMR in persistent superconducting magnets has recently improved from 23.5 to 28 Tesla, increasing the proton resonance frequency from 1 to 1.2 GHz. For magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR, this is expected to improve resolution, provided the sample preparation results in homogeneous broadening. We compare two-dimensional (2D) proton detected MAS NMR spectra of four membrane proteins at 950 and 1200 MHz. We find a consistent improvement in resolution that scales superlinearly with the increase in magnetic field for three of the four examples. In 3D and 4D spectra, which are now routinely acquired, this improvement indicates the ability to resolve at least 2 and 2.5 times as many signals, respectively.

Abstract
We present a first report on the detection of three different C6 conformers of cellulose in spruce, as revealed by solid-state 1H-13C correlation spectra. The breakthrough in 1H resolution is achieved by magic-angle spinning in the regime of 150 kHz. The suppression of dense dipolar network of 1H provides inverse detected 13C spectra at a good sensitivity even in natural samples. We find that the glycosidic linkages are initially more ordered in spruce than maple, but a thermal treatment of spruce leads to a more heterogeneous packing order of the remaining cellulose fibrils.

Combining fast magic angle spinning dynamic nuclear polarization with indirect detection to further enhance the sensitivity of solid-state NMR spectroscopy. SOLID STATE NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE 2020; 109:101685. [PMID: 32932182 DOI: 10.1016/j.ssnmr.2020.101685] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2020] [Revised: 07/24/2020] [Accepted: 07/28/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) and indirect detection are two commonly applied approaches for enhancing the sensitivity of solid-state NMR spectroscopy. However, their use in tandem has not yet been investigated. With the advent of low-temperature fast magic angle spinning (MAS) probes with 1.3-mm diameter rotors capable of MAS at 40 kHz it becomes feasible to combine these two techniques. In this study, we performed DNP-enhanced 2D indirectly detected heteronuclear correlation (idHETCOR) experiments on 13C, 15N, 113Cd and 89Y nuclei in functionalized mesoporous silica, CdS nanoparticles, and Y2O3 nanoparticles. The sensitivity of the 2D idHETCOR experiments was compared with those of DNP-enhanced directly-detected 1D cross polarization (CP) and 2D HETCOR experiments performed with a standard 3.2-mm rotor. Due to low CP polarization transfer efficiencies and large proton linewidth, the sensitivity gains achieved by indirect detection alone were lower than in conventional (non-DNP) experiments. Nevertheless, despite the smaller sample volume the 2D idHETCOR experiments showed better absolute sensitivities than 2D HETCOR experiments for nuclei with the lowest gyromagnetic ratios. For 89Y, 2D idHETCOR provided 8.2 times better sensitivity than the 1 D89Y-detected CP experiment performed with a 3.2-mm rotor.

Abstract
Proton-detected solid-state NMR has emerged as a powerful analytical technique in structural elucidation via 1H-1H correlations, which are mostly established by broadband methods. We propose a new class of frequency-selective homonuclear recoupling methods to selectively enhance 1H-1H correlations of interest under ultrafast magic-angle spinning (MAS). These methods, dubbed as selective phase-optimized recoupling (SPR), can provide a sensitivity enhancement by a factor of ∼3 over the widely used radio-frequency-driven recoupling (RFDR) to observe 1HN-1HN contacts in a protonated tripeptide N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLF) under 150 kHz MAS and are successfully utilized to probe a long-range 1H-1H contact in a pharmaceutical molecule, the hydrochloride form of pioglitazone (PIO-HCl). SPR is not only highly efficient in frequency-selective recoupling but also easy to implement, imparting to it great potential to probe 1H-1H contacts for the structural elucidation of organic solids such as proteins and pharmaceuticals under ultrafast MAS conditions.

Abstract
Oriented sample solid-state NMR is a complementary approach to protein structure determination with the distinct advantage that it can be applied to supramolecular assemblies, such as viruses and membrane proteins, under near-native conditions, which generally include high levels of hydration as found in living systems. Thus, in order to perform 1H detected versions of multi-dimensional experiments water suppression techniques must be integrated into the pulse sequences. For example, 1H-windowed detection of 1H-15N dipolar couplings enable multi-dimensional NMR experiments to be performed. Here we show that the addition of a solvent suppression pulse during the z-filter interval greatly improves the sensitivity of the experiments by suppressing the 1H signals from water present. This is demonstrated here with a crystal sample submerged in water and then extended to proteins. The combination of solvent-suppressed 1H detected PISEMO and the use of a strip shield-solenoid coil probe configuration provides a two-fold sensitivity enhancement in both the crystal sample and Pf1 coat protein sample compared to the 15N direct detection method. Here we also examine protein NMR line-widths and sensitivity enhancements in the context of window detected separated local field experiments for protein samples.

Abstract
Fast magic angle spinning (MAS) and indirect detection by high gyromagnetic ratio (γ) nuclei such as proton or fluorine are increasingly utilized to obtain 2D heteronuclear correlation (HETCOR) solid-state NMR spectra of spin-1/2 nuclei by using cross polarization (CP) for coherence transfer. However, one major drawback of CP HETCOR pulse sequences is that 1H spin diffusion during the back X→1H CP transfer step may result in relayed correlations. This problem is particularly pronounced for the indirect detection of very low-γ nuclei such as 89Y, 103Rh, 109Ag and 183W where long contact times on the order of 10-30 ms are necessary for optimal CP transfer. Here we propose two methods that eliminate relayed correlations and allow more reliable distance information to be obtained from 2D HETCOR NMR spectra. The first method uses Lee-Goldburg (LG) CP during the X→1H back-transfer step to suppress 1H spin diffusion. We determine LG conditions compatible with fast MAS frequencies (νrot) of 40-95 kHz and show that 1H spin diffusion can be efficiently suppressed at low effective radiofrequency (RF) fields (ν1,eff ≪ 0.5νrot) and also at high effective RF fields (ν1,eff ≫ 2νrot). We describe modified Hartmann-Hahn LG-CP match conditions compatible with fast MAS and suitable for indirect detection of moderate-γ nuclei such as 13C, and low-γ nuclei such as 89Y. The second method uses D-RINEPT (dipolar refocused insensitive nuclei enhanced by polarization transfer) during the X→1H back-transfer step of the HETCOR pulse sequence. The effectiveness of these methods for acquiring HETCOR spectra with reduced relayed signal intensities is demonstrated with 1H{13C} HETCOR NMR experiments on l-histidine⋅HCl⋅H2O and 1H{89Y} HETCOR NMR experiments on an organometallic yttrium complex.

Abstract
{1H–29Si}–1H double cross polarization inverse detection (DCPi) solid-state NMR, has recently been shown to be a powerful tool for studying molecules adsorbed on the silica surface. In this contribution, we develop an improved version (MCPi) which incorporates a block of multiple contact pulses, and quantitatively compare the sensitivities of MCPi and DCPi over a typical range of experimental parameters. The MCPi pulse sequence aims at higher sensitivity and robustness for studying samples with various relaxation characteristics. In the case of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) molecules adsorbed on the silica surface, MCPi performs equally well or up to 2.5 times better than DCPi over a wide range of parameters. The applicability to and performance of MCPi on composite materials was demonstrated using a sample of polymer–silica composite, where significantly higher sensitivity could be achieved at very long total mixing times. The results also showed that both techniques are surface specific in the sense that only the groups close to the surface can be detected. In this paper we demonstrate {1H–29Si}–1H multiple cross polarization inverse detection (MCPi) solid state NMR as a robust technique for studying modified silica nanoparticle surfaces.![]()

Abstract
Membrane proteins perform many important cellular functions. Historically, structural studies of these proteins have been conducted in detergent preparations and synthetic lipid bilayers. More recently, magic-angle-spinning (MAS) solid-state NMR has been employed to analyze membrane proteins in native membrane environments, but resonance assignments with this technique remain challenging due to limited spectral resolution and high resonance degeneracy. To tackle this issue, we combine reverse labeling of amino acids, frequency-selective dipolar dephasing, and NMR difference spectroscopy. These methods have resulted in nearly complete resonance assignments of the transmembrane domain of human LR11 (SorLA) protein in E. coli membranes. To reduce background signals from E. coli lipids and proteins and improve spectral sensitivity, we effectively utilize amylose affinity chromatography to prepare membrane vesicles when MBP is included as a fusion partner in the expression construct.

Abstract
NMR spectroscopy is a method of choice to characterize structure, function, and dynamics of integral membrane proteins at atomic resolution. Here, we describe protocols for sample preparation and characterization by NMR spectroscopy of two integral membrane proteins with different architecture, the α-helical membrane protein MsbA and the β-barrel membrane protein BamA. The protocols describe recombinant expression in E. coli, protein refolding, purification, and reconstitution in suitable membrane mimetics, as well as key setup steps for basic NMR experiments. These include experiments on protein samples in the solid state under magic angle spinning (MAS) conditions and experiments on protein samples in aqueous solution. Since MsbA and BamA are typical examples of their respective architectural classes, the protocols presented here can also serve as a reference for other integral membrane proteins.

Abstract
Multidimensional solid-state NMR spectroscopy plays a significant role in offering atomic-level insights into molecular systems. In particular, heteronuclear chemical shift correlation (HETCOR) experiments could provide local chemical and structural information in terms of spatial heteronuclear proximity and through-bond connectivity. In solid state, the transfer of magnetization between heteronuclei, a key step in HETCOR experiments, is usually achieved using cross-polarization (CP) or insensitive nuclei enhanced by polarization transfer (INEPT) depending on the sample characteristics and magic-angle-spinning (MAS) frequency. But, for a multiphase system constituting molecular components that differ in their time scales of mobilities, CP efficiency is pretty low for mobile components because of the averaging of heteronuclear dipolar couplings whereas INEPT is inefficient for immobile components due to the short T2 and can yield through-space connectivity due to strong proton spin diffusion for immobile components especially under moderate spinning speeds. Herein, in this study we present two 2D pulse sequences that enable the sequential acquisition of 13C/1H HETCOR NMR spectra for the rigid and mobile components by taking full advantage of the abundant proton magnetization in a single experiment with barely increasing the overall experimental time. In particular, the 13C-detected HETCOR experiment could be applied under slow MAS conditions, where a multiple-pulse sequence is typically employed to enhance 1H spectral resolution in the indirect dimension. In contrast, the 1H-detected HETCOR experiment should be applied under ultrafast MAS, where CP and heteronuclear nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) polarization transfer are combined to enhance 13C signal intensities for mobile components. These pulse sequences are experimentally demonstrated on two model systems to obtain 2D 13C/1H chemical shift correlation spectra of rigid and mobile components independently and separately. These pulse sequences can be used for dynamics based spectral editing and resonance assignments. Therefore, we believe the proposed 2D HETCOR NMR pulse sequences will be beneficial for the structural studies of heterogeneous systems containing molecular components that differ in their time scale of motions for understanding the interplay of structures and properties.

Abstract
Sensitivity and resolution together determine the quality of NMR spectra in biological solids. For high-resolution structure determination with solid-state NMR, proton-detection emerged as an attractive strategy in the last few years. Recent progress in probe technology has extended the range of available MAS frequencies up to above 100 kHz, enabling the detection of resolved resonances from sidechain protons, which are important reporters of structure. Here we characterise the interplay between MAS frequency in the newly available range of 70-110 kHz and proton content on the spectral quality obtainable on a 1 GHz spectrometer for methyl resonances. Variable degrees of proton densities are tested on microcrystalline samples of the α-spectrin SH3 domain with selectively protonated methyl isotopomers (CH3, CH2D, CHD2) in a perdeuterated matrix. The experimental results are supported by simulations that allow the prediction of the sensitivity outside this experimental frequency window. Our results facilitate the selection of the appropriate labelling scheme at a given MAS rotation frequency.

Abstract
NMR spectroscopy is a powerful experimental technique to study biological systems at the atomic resolution. However, its intrinsic low sensitivity results in long acquisition times that in extreme cases lasts for days (or even weeks) often exceeding the lifetime of the sample under investigation. Different paramagnetic agents have been used in an effort to decrease the spin-lattice (T1) relaxation times of the studied nuclei, which are the main cause for long acquisition times necessary for signal averaging to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio of NMR spectra. Consequently, most of the experimental time is "wasted" in waiting for the magnetization to recover between successive scans. In this review, we discuss how to set up an optimal paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE) system to effectively reduce the T1 relaxation times avoiding significant broadening of NMR signals. Additionally, we describe how PRE-agents can be used to provide structural and dynamic information and can even be used to follow the intermediates of chemical reactions and to speed-up data acquisition. We also describe the unique challenges and benefits associated with the application of PRE to solid-state NMR spectroscopy, explaining how the use of PREs is more complex for membrane mimetic systems as PREs can also be exploited to change the alignment of oriented membrane systems. Functionalization of membrane mimetics, such as bicelles, can provide a controlled region of paramagnetic effect that has the potential, together with the desired alignment, to provide crucial biologically relevant structural information. And finally, we discuss how paramagnetic metals can be utilized to further increase the dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) effects and how to preserve the enhancements when dissolution DNP is implemented.

Abstract
Contact lenses are worn by over 140 million people each year and tremendous research and development efforts contribute to the identification and selection of hydrogel components and production protocols to yield lenses optimized for chemical and physiological properties, eye health and comfort. The final molecular composition and extent of incorporation of different components in contact lenses is routinely estimated after lens production through the analysis of the soluble components that were not included in the lens, i.e. remaining starting materials. Examination of composition in the actual intact materials is always valued and can reveal details that are missed by only examining the non-incorporated components, for example identifying chemical changes to components in lenses during the production process. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a powerful tool for the direct compositional analysis of insoluble and heterogeneous materials and is also uniquely suited to determining parameters of architecture in contact lenses. We utilized 13C cross-polarization magic angle spinning (CPMAS) NMR to examine and compare the carbon composition of soft contact lenses. 13C NMR spectra of individual polymer components enabled the determination of the approximate molecular carbon contributions of major lens components. Comparisons of the conventional etafilcon A hydrogel (1 Day Acuvue MOIST) lenses and silicone hydrogel lenses (Acuvue Oasys, Dailies Total 1, Clariti 1 Day, Biofinity, and Pure Vision) revealed major spectral differences, with considerable variation even among different silicone hydrogel lenses. The solid-state NMR approach provides a direct spectral reporting of carbon types in the hydrogel lens itself. This approach represents a valuable complementary analysis to benefit contact lens research and development and could be extended to isotopically labeled hydrogel lenses to map proximities and architecture between hydrogel components.

JOURNAL OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE (SAN DIEGO, CALIF. : 1997) 2019; 304:78-86.

Abstract
Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in solid state has gained significant attention in recent years due to the remarkable resolution and sensitivity enhancement afforded by ultrafast magic-angle-spinning (MAS). In spite of the substantial suppression of 1H-1H dipolar couplings, the proton spectral resolution is still poor compared to that of 13C or 15N NMR, rendering it challenging for the structural and conformational analysis of complex chemicals or biological solids. Herein, by utilizing the benefits of double-quantum (DQ) and triple-quantum (TQ) coherences, we propose a 3D single-channel pulse sequence that correlates proton triple-quantum/double-quantum/single-quantum (TQ/DQ/SQ) chemical shifts. In addition to the two-spin proximity information, this 3D TQ/DQ/SQ pulse sequence enables more reliable extraction of three-spin proximity information compared to the regular 2D TQ/SQ correlation experiment, which could aid in revealing the proton network in solids. Furthermore, the TQ/DQ slice taken at a specific SQ chemical shift only reveals the local correlations to the corresponding SQ chemical shift, and thus it enables accurate assignments of the proton peaks along the TQ and DQ dimensions and simplifies the interpretation of proton spectra especially for dense proton networks. The high performance of this 3D pulse sequence is well demonstrated on small compounds, L-alanine and a tripeptide, N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine (MLF). We expect that this new methodology can inspire the development of multidimensional solid-state NMR pulse sequences using the merits of TQ and DQ coherences and enable high-throughput investigations of complex solids using abundant protons.

Abstract
Proton detection and phase-modulated pulse saturation enable the measurement of spin-lattice relaxation times of "invisible" quadrupolar nuclei with extensively large quadrupolar couplings. For nitrogen-14, efficient cross-polarization is obtained with a long-duration preparation pulse. The experiment paves the way to the characterization of a large variety of materials containing halogens, metals and more.

Abstract
The sensitivity of solid-state NMR experiments that utilize 1H zero-quantum heteronuclear dipolar recoupling, such as D-HMQC, is compromised by poor homonuclear decoupling. This leads to a rapid decay of recoupled magnetization and an inefficient recoupling of long-range dipolar interactions, especially for nuclides with low gyromagnetic ratios. We investigated the use, in symmetry-based 1H heteronuclear recoupling sequences, of a basic R element that was principally designed for efficient homonuclear decoupling. By shortening the time required to suppress the effects of homonuclear dipolar interactions to the duration of a single inversion pulse, spin diffusion was effectively quenched and long-lived recoupled coherence lifetimes could be obtained. We show, both theoretically and experimentally, that these modified sequences can yield considerable sensitivity improvements over the current state-of-the-art methods and applied them to the indirect detection of 89Y in a metal-organic framework.

Abstract
Homonuclear correlations are key to structural studies using solid-state NMR. In this contribution, using 14N overtone transition (OT) as a selective excitation approach, we propose a proton-detected one-dimensional (1D) 14NOT/14NOT/1H correlation solid-state NMR method mediated through 1H/1H mixing at fast magic angle spinning to achieve NH/NH proximities in naturally abundant samples. The proposed method is time efficient by a factor of ∼7.5 in comparison to the existing fundamental 14N frequency-based three-dimensional (3D) 14N/14N/1H correlation method.

Abstract
We analyze the performances and the optimization of 1H-{I} HMQC experiments using basic and interleaved DANTE schemes for the indirect detection of nuclei I = 1/2 or 1 exhibiting wide lines dominated by chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) or quadrupole interaction, respectively. These sequences are first described using average Hamiltonian theory. Then, we analyze using numerical simulations (i) the optimal lengths of the DANTE train and the individual pulses, (ii) the robustness of these experiments to offset, and (iii) the optimal choice of the defocusing and refocusing times for both 1H-{I} J- and D-HMQC sequences for 195Pt (I = 1/2) and 14N (I = 1) nuclei subject to large CSA and quadrupole interaction, respectively. These simulations are compared to 1H-{14N} D-HMQC experiments on γ-glycine and L-histidine.HCl at B0 = 18.8 T and MAS frequency of 62.5 kHz. The present study shows that (i) the optimal defocusing and refocusing times do not depend on the chosen DANTE scheme, (ii) the DANTE trains must be applied with the highest rf-field compatible with the probe specifications and the stability of the sample, (iii) the excitation bandwidth along the indirect dimension of HMQC sequence using DANTE trains is inversely proportional to their length, (iv) interleaved DANTE trains increase the excitation bandwidth of these sequences, and (v) dephasing under residual 1H-1H and 1H-I dipolar couplings, as well as 14N second-order quadrupole interaction, during the length of the DANTE scheme attenuate the transfer efficiency.

Abstract
Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) is a spectroscopic technique that is used for characterization of molecular properties in the solid phase at atomic resolution. In particular, using the approach of magic-angle spinning (MAS), ssNMR has seen widespread applications for topics ranging from material sciences to catalysis, metabolomics, and structural biology, where both isotropic and anisotropic parameters can be exploited for a detailed assessment of molecular properties. High-resolution detection of protons long represented the holy grail of the field. With its high natural abundance and high gyromagnetic ratio, 1H has naturally been the most important nucleus type for the solution counterpart of NMR spectroscopy. In the solid state, similar benefits are obtained over detection of heteronuclei, however, a rocky road led to its success as their high gyromagnetic ratio has also been associated with various detrimental effects. Two exciting approaches have been developed in recent years that enable proton detection: After partial deuteration of the sample to reduce the proton spin density, the exploitation of protons could begin. Also, faster MAS, nowadays using tiny rotors with frequencies up to 130 kHz, has relieved the need for expensive deuteration. Apart from the sheer gain in sensitivity from choosing protons as the detection nucleus, the proton chemical shift and several other useful aspects of protons have revolutionized the field. In this Account, we are describing the fundamentals of proton detection as well as the arising possibilities for characterization of biomolecules as associated with the developments in our own lab. In particular, we focus on facilitated chemical-shift assignment, structure calculation based on protons, and on assessment of dynamics in solid proteins. For example, the proton chemical-shift dimension adds additional information for resonance assignments in the protein backbone and side chains. Chemical shifts and high gyromagnetic ratio of protons enable direct readout of spatial information over large distances. Dynamics in the protein backbone or side chains can be characterized efficiently using protons as reporters. For all of this, the sample amounts necessary for a given signal-to-noise have drastically shrunk, and new methodology enables assessment of molecules with increasing monomer molecular weight and complexity. Taken together, protons are able to overcome previous limitations, by speeding up processes, enhancing accuracies, and increasing the accessible ranges of ssNMR spectroscopy, as we shall discuss in detail in the following. In particular, these methodological developments have been pushing solid-state NMR into a new regime of biological topics as they realistically allow access to complex cellular molecules, elucidating their functions and interactions in a multitude of ways.

Abstract
A longstanding limitation of high-resolution NMR spectroscopy is the requirement for samples to have macroscopic dimensions. Commercial probes, for example, are designed for volumes of at least 5 μL, in spite of decades of work directed toward the goal of miniaturization. Progress in miniaturizing inductive detectors has been limited by a perceived need to meet two technical requirements: (1) minimal separation between the sample and the detector, which is essential for sensitivity, and (2) near-perfect magnetic-field homogeneity at the sample, which is typically needed for spectral resolution. The first of these requirements is real, but the second can be relaxed, as we demonstrate here. By using pulse sequences that yield high-resolution spectra in an inhomogeneous field, we eliminate the need for near-perfect field homogeneity and the accompanying requirement for susceptibility matching of microfabricated detector components. With this requirement removed, typical imperfections in microfabricated components can be tolerated, and detector dimensions can be matched to those of the sample, even for samples of volume ≪5 μL. Pulse sequences that are robust to field inhomogeneity thus enable small-volume detection with optimal sensitivity. We illustrate the potential of this approach to miniaturization by presenting spectra acquired with a flat-wire detector that can easily be scaled to subnanoliter volumes. In particular, we report high-resolution NMR spectroscopy of an alanine sample of volume 500 pL.

Abstract
Building on a decade of continuous advances of the community, the recent development of very fast (60 kHz and above) magic-angle spinning (MAS) probes has revolutionised the field of solid-state NMR. This new spinning regime reduces the 1H-1H dipolar couplings, so that direct detection of the larger magnetic moment available from 1H is now possible at high resolution, not only in deuterated molecules but also in fully-protonated substrates. Such capabilities allow rapid "fingerprinting" of samples with a ten-fold reduction of the required sample amounts with respect to conventional approaches, and permit extensive, robust and expeditious assignment of small-to-medium sized proteins (up to ca. 300 residues), and the determination of inter-nuclear proximities, relative orientations of secondary structural elements, protein-cofactor interactions, local and global dynamics. Fast MAS and 1H detection techniques have nowadays been shown to be applicable to membrane-bound systems. This paper reviews the strategies underlying this recent leap forward in sensitivity and resolution, describing its potential for the detailed characterization of membrane proteins.

Abstract
Proton-detected solid-state NMR (SSNMR) spectroscopy has attracted much attention due to its excellent sensitivity and effectiveness in the analysis of trace amounts of amyloid proteins and other important biological systems. In this perspective article, we present the recent sensitivity limit of 1H-detected SSNMR using "ultra-fast" magic-angle spinning (MAS) at a spinning rate (νR) of 80-100 kHz. It was demonstrated that the high sensitivity of 1H-detected SSNMR at νR of 100 kHz and fast recycling using the paramagnetic-assisted condensed data collection (PACC) approach permitted "super-fast" collection of 1H-detected 2D protein SSNMR. A 1H-detected 2D 1H-15N correlation SSNMR spectrum for ∼27 nmol of a uniformly 13C- and 15N-labeled GB1 protein sample in microcrystalline form was acquired in only 9 s with 50% non-uniform sampling and short recycle delays of 100 ms. Additional data suggests that it is now feasible to detect as little as 1 nmol of the protein in 5.9 h by 1H-detected 2D 1H-15N SSNMR at a nominal signal-to-noise ratio of five. The demonstrated sensitivity is comparable to that of modern solution protein NMR. Moreover, this article summarizes the influence of ultra-fast MAS and 1H-detection on the spectral resolution and sensitivity of protein SSNMR. Recent progress in signal assignment and structural elucidation by 1H-detected protein SSNMR is outlined with both theoretical and experimental aspects.

Abstract
Resonance assignment is the first stage towards solving the structure of a protein. This is normally achieved by the employment of separate inter and intra residue experiments. By utilising the mixed rotation and rotary recoupling (MIRROR) condition it is possible to double the information content through the efficient bidirectional transfer of magnetization from the CO to its adjacent Cα and the Cα of the subsequent amino acid. We have incorporated this into a 3D experiment, a 3D-MIRROR-NCOCA, where correlations present in the 3D spectrum permit the sequential assignment of the protein backbone from a single experiment as we have demonstrated on a microcrystalline preparation of GB3. Furthermore, the low-power requirements of the MIRROR recoupling sequence facilitate the development of a low-power 3D-NCOCA experiment. This has enabled us to realise significant reductions in acquisition times, allowing the acquisition of a single 3D-NCOCA spectrum suitable for a full backbone resonance assignment of GB3 in less than 24 h.

Abstract
Extensive deuteration is frequently used in solid-state NMR studies of biomolecules because it dramatically reduces both homonuclear (1H-1H) and heteronuclear (1H-13C and 1H-15N) dipolar interactions. This approach greatly improves resolution, enables low-power rf decoupling, and facilitates 1H-detected experiments even in rigid solids at moderate MAS rates. However, the resolution enhancement is obtained at some cost due the reduced abundance of protons available for polarization transfer. Although deuterium is a useful spin-1 NMR nucleus, in typical experiments the deuterons are not directly utilized because the available probes are usually triple-tuned to 1H,13C and 15N. Here we describe a 1H/13C/2H/15N MAS ssNMR probe designed for solid-state NMR of extensively deuterated biomolecules. The probe utilizes coaxial coils, with a modified Alderman-Grant resonator for the 1H channel, and a multiply resonant solenoid for 13C/2H/15N. A coaxial tuning-tube design is used for all four channels in order to efficiently utilize the constrained physical space available inside the magnet bore. Isolation among the channels is likewise achieved using short, adjustable transmission line elements. We present benchmarks illustrating the tuning of each channel and isolation among them and the magnetic field profiles at each frequency of interest. Finally, representative NMR data are shown demonstrating the performance of both the detection and decoupling circuits.

SOLID STATE NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE 2017; 87:126-136.

Abstract
1H-detection in solid-state NMR of proteins has been traditionally combined with deuteration for both resolution and sensitivity reasons, with the optimal level of proton dilution being dependent on MAS rate. Here we present 1H-detected 15N and 13C CP-HSQC spectra on two microcrystalline samples acquired at 60 and 111 kHz MAS and at ultra-high field. We critically compare the benefits of three labeling schemes yielding different levels of proton content in terms of resolution, coherence lifetimes and feasibility of scalar-based 2D correlations under these experimental conditions. We observe unexpectedly high resolution and sensitivity of aromatic resonances in 2D 13C-1H correlation spectra of protonated samples. Ultrafast MAS reduces or even removes the necessity of 1H dilution for high-resolution 1H-detection in biomolecular solid-state NMR. It yields 15N,1H and 13C,1H fingerprint spectra of exceptional resolution for fully protonated samples, with notably superior 1H and 13C lineshapes for side-chain resonances.

Venkatesh A, Hanrahan MP, Rossini AJ. Proton detection of MAS solid-state NMR spectra of half-integer quadrupolar nuclei. SOLID STATE NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE 2017; 84:171-181. [PMID: 28392024 DOI: 10.1016/j.ssnmr.2017.03.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 57] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2017] [Revised: 03/25/2017] [Accepted: 03/28/2017] [Indexed: 05/09/2023]
Abstract
Fast magic angle spinning (MAS) and proton detection has found widespread application to enhance the sensitivity of solid-state NMR experiments with spin-1/2 nuclei such as 13C, 15N and 29Si, however, this approach is not yet routinely applied to half-integer quadrupolar nuclei. Here we have investigated the feasibility of using fast MAS and proton detection to enhance the sensitivity of solid-state NMR experiments with half-integer quadrupolar nuclei. The previously described dipolar hetero-nuclear multiple quantum correlation (D-HMQC) and dipolar refocused insensitive nuclei enhanced by polarization transfer (D-RINEPT) pulse sequences were used for proton detection of half-integer quadrupolar nuclei. Quantitative comparisons of signal-to-noise ratios and the sensitivity of proton detected D-HMQC and D-RINEPT and direct detection spin echo and quadrupolar Carr-Purcell Meiboom-Gill (QCPMG) solid-state NMR spectra, demonstrate that one dimensional proton detected experiments can provide sensitivity similar to or exceeding that obtainable with direct detection QCPMG experiments. 2D D-HMQC and D-RINEPT experiments provide less sensitivity than QCPMG experiments but proton detected 2D hetero-nuclear correlation solid-state NMR spectra of half-integer nuclei can still be acquired in about the same time as a 1D spin echo spectrum. Notably, the rarely used D-RINEPT pulse sequence is found to provide similar, or better sensitivity than D-HMQC in some cases. Proton detected D-RINEPT benefits from the short longitudinal relaxation times (T1) normally associated with half-integer quadrupolar nuclei, it can be combined with existing signal enhancement methods for quadrupolar nuclei, and t1-noise in the indirect dimension can easily be removed by pre-saturation of the 1H nuclei. The rapid acquisition of proton detected 2D HETCOR solid-state NMR spectra of a range of half-integer quadrupolar nuclei such as 17O, 27Al, 35Cl and 71Ga is demonstrated.
