Abstract
Structural analysis of macromolecular complexes within their natural cellular environment presents a significant challenge. Recent applications of solid-state NMR (ssNMR) techniques on living fungal cells and intact plant tissues have greatly enhanced our understanding of the structure of extracellular matrices. Here, we selectively highlight the most recent progress in this field. Specifically, we discuss how ssNMR can provide detailed insights into the chemical composition and conformational structure of pectin, and the consequential impact on polysaccharide interactions and cell wall organization. We elaborate on the use of ssNMR data to uncover the arrangement of the lignin-polysaccharide interface and the macrofibrillar structure in native plant stems or during degradation processes. We also comprehend the dynamic structure of fungal cell walls under various morphotypes and stress conditions. Finally, we assess how the combination of NMR with other techniques can enhance our capacity to address unresolved structural questions concerning these complex macromolecular assemblies.

[PMID: 37776831 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmr.2023.107557] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2023] [Revised: 09/14/2023] [Accepted: 09/15/2023] [Indexed: 10/02/2023]
Abstract
The role of 1H solid-state NMR in structure elucidation of solids is becoming more preponderant, particularly as faster magic-angle spinning rates (MAS) become available which improve 1H detected assignment strategies. However, current 1H spectral resolution is still relatively poor, with linewidths of typically a few hundred Hz, even at the fastest rates available today. Here we detail and assess the factors limiting proton linewidths and line shapes in MAS experiments with five different samples, exemplifying the different sources of broadening that affect the residual linewidth. We disentangle the different contributions through one- and two-dimensional experiments: by using dilution to identify the contribution of ABMS; by using extensive deuteration to identify the dipolar contributions; and by using variable MAS rates to determine the ratio between homogeneous and inhomogeneous components. We find that the overall widths and the nature of the different contributions to the linewidths can vary very considerably. While we find that faster spinning always yields narrower lines and longer coherence lifetimes, we also find that for some resonances the dipolar contribution is no longer dominant at 100 kHz MAS. When the inhomogeneous sources of broadening, such as ABMS and chemical shift disorder, are dominant, two-dimensional 1H-1H correlation experiments yield better resolution for assignment. Particularly the extraction of the antidiagonal of a 2D peak will remove any correlated inhomogeneous broadening, giving substantially narrower 1H linewidths.

Abstract
Complex carbohydrates are the key components of the protective cell walls of microbial pathogens and the bioenergy reservoir in plants and algae. Structural characterization of these polymorphic molecules requires assistance from multidimensional 13C correlation approaches. To facilitate the analysis of carbohydrate structure using solid-state NMR, we present a three-dimensional (3D) 13C-13C-13C experiment that includes a double-quantum (DQ) dimension and is thus free of the cube's body diagonal. The enhanced resolution supports the unambiguous resonance assignment of many polysaccharides in plant and fungal cell walls using uniformly 13C-labeled cells of spruce and Aspergillus fumigatus. Long-range structural restraints were effectively obtained to revisit our understanding of the spatial organization of plant cellulose microfibrils. The method is widely applicable to the investigations of cellular carbohydrates and carbon-based biomaterials.

Abstract
Extracellular matrixes (ECMs), such as the cell walls and biofilms, are important for supporting cell integrity and function and regulating intercellular communication. These biomaterials are also of significant interest to the production of biofuels and the development of antimicrobial treatment. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) and magic-angle spinning-dynamic nuclear polarization (MAS-DNP) are uniquely powerful for understanding the conformational structure, dynamical characteristics, and supramolecular assemblies of carbohydrates and other biomolecules in ECMs. This review highlights the recent high-resolution investigations of intact ECMs and native cells in many organisms spanning across plants, bacteria, fungi, and algae. We spotlight the structural principles identified in ECMs, discuss the current technical limitation and underexplored biochemical topics, and point out the promising opportunities enabled by the recent advances of the rapidly evolving ssNMR technology.

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.

Abstract
Comprehending the oxygen vacancy distribution in oxide ion conductors requires structural insights over various length scales: from the local coordination preferences to the possible formation of agglomerates comprising a large number of vacancies. In Y-doped ceria, 89Y NMR enables differentiation of yttrium sites by quantification of the oxygen vacancies in their first coordination sphere. Because of the extremely low sensitivity of 89Y, longer-range information was so far not available from NMR. Herein, we utilize metal ion-based dynamic nuclear polarization, where polarization from Gd(III) dopants provides large sensitivity enhancements homogeneously throughout the bulk of the sample. This enables following 89Y-89Y homonuclear dipolar correlations and probing the local distribution of yttrium sites, which show no evidence of the formation of oxygen vacancy rich regions. The presented approach can provide valuable structural insights for designing oxide ion conductors.

Abstract
Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is an atomic-level method used to determine the chemical structure, three-dimensional structure, and dynamics of solids and semi-solids. This Primer summarizes the basic principles of NMR as applied to the wide range of solid systems. The fundamental nuclear spin interactions and the effects of magnetic fields and radiofrequency pulses on nuclear spins are the same as in liquid-state NMR. However, because of the anisotropy of the interactions in the solid state, the majority of high-resolution solid-state NMR spectra is measured under magic-angle spinning (MAS), which has profound effects on the types of radiofrequency pulse sequences required to extract structural and dynamical information. We describe the most common MAS NMR experiments and data analysis approaches for investigating biological macromolecules, organic materials, and inorganic solids. Continuing development of sensitivity-enhancement approaches, including 1H-detected fast MAS experiments, dynamic nuclear polarization, and experiments tailored to ultrahigh magnetic fields, is described. We highlight recent applications of solid-state NMR to biological and materials chemistry. The Primer ends with a discussion of current limitations of NMR to study solids, and points to future avenues of development to further enhance the capabilities of this sophisticated spectroscopy for new applications.

Abstract
NMR is a powerful spectroscopic method that can provide information on the structural disorder in solids, complementing scattering and diffraction techniques. The structural disorder in solids can generate a dispersion of local magnetic and electric fields, resulting in a distribution of isotropic chemical shift δiso and quadrupolar coupling CQ. For spin-1/2 nuclei, the NMR linewidth and shape under high-resolution magic-angle spinning (MAS) reflects the distributions of isotropic chemical shift, providing a rich source of disorder information. For quadrupolar nuclei, the second-order quadrupolar broadening remains present even under MAS. In addition to isotropic chemical shift, structural disorder can impact the electric field gradient (EFG) and consequently the quadrupolar NMR parameters. The distributions of quadrupolar coupling and isotropic chemical shift are superimposed with the second-order quadrupolar broadening, but can be potentially characterized by MQMAS (multiple-quantum magic-angle spinning) spectroscopy. We review analyses of NMR lineshapes in 2D DQ–SQ (double-quantum single-quantum) and MQMAS spectroscopies, to provide a guide for more general lineshape analysis. In addition, methods to enhance the spectral resolution and sensitivity for quadrupolar nuclei are discussed, including NMR pulse techniques and the application of high magnetic fields. The role of magnetic field strength and its impact on the strategy of determining optimum NMR methods for disorder characterization are also discussed.

Abstract
Processing procedures for inducing domain size reduction and/or amorphous phase generation can be crucial for enhancing the bioavailability of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). It is important to quantify these reduced coherence phases and to detect and characterize associated structural changes, to ensure that no deleterious effects on safety, function, or stability occur. Here, X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), total scattering pair distribution function (TSPDF) analysis, and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (SSNMR) have been performed on samples of GSK2838232B, an investigational drug for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Preparations were obtained through different mechanical treatments resulting in varying extents of domain size reduction and amorphous phase generation. Completely amorphous formulations could be prepared by milling and microfluidic injection processes. Microfluidic injection was shown to result in a different local structure due to dispersion with dichloromethane (DCM). Implications of combined TSPDF and SSNMR studies to characterize molecular compounds are also discussed, in particular, the possibility to obtain a thorough structural understanding of disordered samples from different processes.

Abstract
Carbohydrates are essential to various life activities in living organisms and serve as the central component in many biomaterials. As an emerging technique with steadily improving resolution, solid-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has the unique capability in revealing the polymorphic structure and heterogeneous dynamics of insoluble complex carbohydrates. Here, we report the first solid-state NMR database for complex carbohydrates, Complex Carbohydrates Magnetic Resonance Database (CCMRD). This database currently holds the chemical shift information of more than four hundred solid-state NMR compounds and expects rapid expansion. CCMRD provides open portals for data deposition and supports search options based on NMR chemical shifts, carbohydrate names, and compound classes. With the timely implementation, this platform will facilitate spectral analysis and structure determination of carbohydrates and promote software development to benefit the research community. The database is freely accessible at www.ccmrd.org.

Abstract
We introduce a pulsed third-spin-assisted recoupling experiment that produces high-intensity long-range 15N-13C cross peaks using low radiofrequency (rf) energy. This Proton-Enhanced Rotor-echo Short-Pulse IRradiATION Cross-Polarization (PERSPIRATIONCP) pulse sequence operates with the same principle as the Proton-Assisted Insensitive-Nuclei Cross-Polarization (PAINCP) experiment but uses only a fraction of the rf energy by replacing continuous-wave 13C and 15N irradiation with rotor-echo 90° pulses. Using formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (f-MLF) and β1 immunoglobulin binding domain of protein G (GB1) as model proteins, we demonstrate experimentally how PERSPIRATIONCP polarization transfer depends on the CP contact time, rf power, pulse flip angle, and 13C carrier frequency and compare the PERSPIRATIONCP performance with the performances of PAINCP, RESPIRATIONCP, and SPECIFICCP for measuring 15N-13C cross peaks. PERSPIRATIONCP achieves long-range 15N-13C transfer and yields higher cross peak-intensities than that of the other techniques. Numerical simulations reproduce the experimental trends and moreover indicate that PERSPIRATIONCP relies on 15N-1H and 13C-1H dipolar couplings rather than 15N-13C dipolar coupling for polarization transfer. Therefore, PERSPIRATIONCP is an rf-efficient and higher-sensitivity alternative to PAINCP for measuring long-range 15N-13C correlations, which are essential for protein resonance assignment and structure determination. Using cross peaks from two PERSPIRATIONCP 15N-13C correlation spectra as the sole distance restraints, supplemented with (φ, ψ) torsion angles obtained from chemical shifts, we calculated the GB1 structure and obtained a backbone root-mean-square deviation of 2.0 Å from the high-resolution structure of the protein. Therefore, this rf-efficient PERSPIRATIONCP method is useful for obtaining many long-range distance restraints for protein structure determination.

Abstract
Ziegler-Natta catalysis is a very important industrial process for the production of polyolefins. However, the catalysts are not well-understood at the molecular level. Yet, atomic-scale structural information is of pivotal importance for rational catalyst development. We applied a solid-state NMR/density functional theory tandem approach to gain detailed insight into the interactions between the catalysts' support, MgCl2, and organic electron donors. Because of the heterogeneity of the samples, large line widths are observed in the carbon spectra. Despite this, good agreement between experimental and computational values was reached, and this shows that 1,3-diether based donors coordinate at (110) surface sites, while phthalates are less selective and coordinate at both (104) and (110) surface sites.

Abstract
We demonstrate that natural isotopic abundance 2D heteronuclear correlation (HETCOR) solid-state NMR spectra can be used to significantly reduce or eliminate the broadening of 1H and 13C solid-state NMR spectra of organic solids due to anisotropic bulk magnetic susceptibility (ABMS). ABMS often manifests in solids with aromatic groups, such as active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), and inhomogeneously broadens the NMR peaks of all nuclei in the sample. Inhomogeneous peaks with full widths at half maximum (FWHM) of ∼1 ppm typically result from ABMS broadening and the low spectral resolution impedes the analysis of solid-state NMR spectra. ABMS broadening of solid-state NMR spectra has previously been eliminated using 2D multiple-quantum correlation experiments, or by performing NMR experiments on diluted materials or single crystals. However, these experiments are often infeasible due to their poor sensitivity and/or provide limited gains in resolution. 2D 1H-13C HETCOR experiments have previously been applied to reduce susceptibility broadening in paramagnetic solids and we show that this strategy can significantly reduce ABMS broadening in diamagnetic organic solids. Comparisons of 1D solid-state NMR spectra and 1H and 13C solid-state NMR spectra obtained from 2D 1H-13C HETCOR NMR spectra show that the HETCOR spectrum directly increases resolution by a factor of 1.5 to 8. The direct gain in resolution is determined by the ratio of the inhomogeneous 13C/1H linewidth to the homogeneous 1H linewidth, with the former depending on the magnitude of the ABMS broadening and the strength of the applied field and the latter on the efficiency of homonuclear decoupling. The direct gains in resolution obtained using the 2D HETCOR experiments are better than that obtained by dilution. For solids with long proton longitudinal relaxation times, dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) was applied to enhance sensitivity and enable the acquisition of 2D 1H-13C HETCOR NMR spectra. 2D 1H-13C HETCOR experiments were applied to resolve and partially assign the NMR signals of the form I and form II polymorphs of aspirin in a sample containing both forms. These findings have important implications for ultra-high field NMR experiments, optimization of decoupling schemes and assessment of the fundamental limits on the resolution of solid-state NMR spectra.

Abstract
We present a solid-state NMR methodology capable of investigating the carbon skeleton of natural abundance organic powders. The methodology is based on the (13)C-(13)C dipolar coupling interaction and allows carbon-carbon connectivities to be unambiguously established for a wide range of organic solids. This methodology is particularly suitable for disordered solids, such as natural or synthetic macromolecules, which cannot be studied using conventional diffraction or NMR techniques.

Abstract
The native cellulose of bacterial, algal, and animal origins has been well studied structurally using X-ray and neutron diffraction and solid-state NMR spectroscopy, and is known to consist of varying proportions of two allomorphs, Iα and Iβ, which differ in hydrogen bonding, chain packing, and local conformation. In comparison, cellulose structure in plant primary cell walls is much less understood because plant cellulose has lower crystallinity and extensive interactions with matrix polysaccharides. Here we have combined two-dimensional magic-angle-spinning (MAS) solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (solid-state NMR) spectroscopy at high magnetic fields with density functional theory (DFT) calculations to obtain detailed information about the structural polymorphism and spatial distributions of plant primary-wall cellulose. 2D (13)C-(13)C correlation spectra of uniformly (13)C-labeled cell walls of several model plants resolved seven sets of cellulose chemical shifts. Among these, five sets (denoted a-e) belong to cellulose in the interior of the microfibril while two sets (f and g) can be assigned to surface cellulose. Importantly, most of the interior cellulose (13)C chemical shifts differ significantly from the (13)C chemical shifts of the Iα and Iβ allomorphs, indicating that plant primary-wall cellulose has different conformations, packing, and hydrogen bonding from celluloses of other organisms. 2D (13)C-(13)C correlation experiments with long mixing times and with water polarization transfer revealed the spatial distributions and matrix-polysaccharide interactions of these cellulose structures. Celluloses f and g are well mixed chains on the microfibril surface, celluloses a and b are interior chains that are in molecular contact with the surface chains, while cellulose c resides in the core of the microfibril, outside spin diffusion contact with the surface. Interestingly, cellulose d, whose chemical shifts differ most significantly from those of bacterial, algal, and animal cellulose, interacts with hemicellulose, is poorly hydrated, and is targeted by the protein expansin during wall loosening. To obtain information about the C6 hydroxymethyl conformation of these plant celluloses, we carried out DFT calculations of (13)C chemical shifts, using the Iα and Iβ crystal structures as templates and varying the C5-C6 torsion angle. Comparison with the experimental chemical shifts suggests that all interior cellulose favor the tg conformation, but cellulose d also has a similar propensity to adopt the gt conformation. These results indicate that cellulose in plant primary cell walls, due to their interactions with matrix polysaccharides, and has polymorphic structures that are not a simple superposition of the Iα and Iβ allomorphs, thus distinguishing them from bacterial and animal celluloses.

Abstract
Silicate hydration is prevalent in natural and technological processes, such as, mineral weathering, glass alteration, zeolite syntheses and cement hydration. Tricalcium silicate (Ca3SiO5), the main constituent of Portland cement, is amongst the most reactive silicates in water. Despite its widespread industrial use, the reaction of Ca3SiO5 with water to form calcium-silicate-hydrates (C-S-H) still hosts many open questions. Here, we show that solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance measurements of (29)Si-enriched triclinic Ca3SiO5 enable the quantitative monitoring of the hydration process in terms of transient local molecular composition, extent of silicate hydration and polymerization. This provides insights on the relative influence of surface hydroxylation and hydrate precipitation on the hydration rate. When the rate drops, the amount of hydroxylated Ca3SiO5 decreases, thus demonstrating the partial passivation of the surface during the deceleration stage. Moreover, the relative quantities of monomers, dimers, pentamers and octamers in the C-S-H structure are measured.

Abstract
Lignocellulose, which includes mainly cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, is a potential resource for the production of chemicals and for other applications. For effective production of materials derived from biomass, it is important to characterize the metabolites and polymeric components of the biomass. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has been used to identify biomass components; however, the NMR spectra of metabolites and lignocellulose components are ambiguously assigned in many cases due to overlapping chemical shift peaks. Using our 13C-labeling technique in higher plants such as poplar samples, we demonstrated that overlapping peaks could be resolved by three-dimensional NMR experiments to more accurately assign chemical shifts compared with two-dimensional NMR measurements. Metabolites of the 13C-poplar were measured by high-resolution magic angle spinning NMR spectroscopy, which allows sample analysis without solvent extraction, while lignocellulose components of the 13C-poplar dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide/pyridine solvent were analyzed by solution-state NMR techniques. Using these methods, we were able to unambiguously assign chemical shifts of small and macromolecular components in 13C-poplar samples. Furthermore, using samples of less than 5 mg, we could differentiate between two kinds of genes that were overexpressed in poplar samples, which produced clearly modified plant cell wall components.

Abstract
The plant secondary cell wall is a thickened polysaccharide and phenolic structure, providing mechanical strength to cells, particularly in woody tissues. It is the main feedstock for the developing bioenergy and green chemistry industries. Despite the role that molecular architecture (the arrangement of biopolymers relative to each other, and their conformations) plays in dictating biomass properties, such as recalcitrance to breakdown, it is poorly understood. Here, unprocessed dry (13)C-labeled stems from the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana were analyzed by a variety of (13)C solid state magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance methods, such as one-dimensional cross-polarization and direct polarization, two-dimensional refocused INADEQUATE, RFDR, PDSD, and three-dimensional DARR, demonstrating their viability for the study of native polymer arrangements in intact secondary cell walls. All carbon sites of the two main glucose environments in cellulose (previously assigned to microfibril surface and interior residues) are clearly resolved, as are carbon sites of the other major components of the secondary cell wall: xylan and lignin. The xylan carbon 4 chemical shift is markedly different from that reported previously for solution or primary cell wall xylan, indicating significant changes in the helical conformation in these dried stems. Furthermore, the shift span indicates that xylan adopts a wide range of conformations in this material, with very little in the 31 conformation typical of xylan in solution. Additionally, spatial connections of noncarbohydrate species were observed with both cellulose peaks conventionally assigned as "surface" and as "interior" cellulose environments, raising questions about the origin of these two cellulose signals.

Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a well-established analytical and enabling technology in biofuel research. Over the past few decades, lignocellulosic biomass and its conversion to supplement or displace non-renewable feedstocks has attracted increasing interest. The application of solid-state NMR spectroscopy has long been seen as an important tool in the study of cellulose and lignocellulose structure, biosynthesis, and deconstruction, especially considering the limited number of effective solvent systems and the significance of plant cell wall three-dimensional microstructure and component interaction to conversion yield and rate profiles. This article reviews common and recent applications of solid-state NMR spectroscopy methods that provide insight into the structural and dynamic processes of cellulose that control bulk properties and biofuel conversion.

Abstract
We show that natural abundance, solid-state MAS-NMR (13)C INADEQUATE spectra can be recorded for crystallized C(70), using the through-bond J-coupling for the magnetization transfer. The effect of strong J-coupling can be lessened at high magnetic fields, allowing the observation of cross-peaks between close resonances. DFT calculations of the chemical shifts show an excellent agreement with the experimental values. A correlation is observed between the average CCC bond angles and the (13)C chemical shift, offering a way to understand the dispersion of (13)C chemical shifts in nanoporous activated carbons in terms of local deviations from planarity.

Abstract
A challenge in the application of solid-state NMR spectroscopy to membrane peptides and proteins is the relatively broad line widths compared to those for solution NMR spectra. To understand the linewidth contributions to membrane protein NMR spectra, we have measured the inhomogeneous and homogeneous line widths of several well-studied membrane peptides under immobilized conditions. (13)C T(2) relaxation times of uniformly (13)C-labeled residues show that the homogeneous line widths of the peptides are comparable to those of crystalline model compounds under identical (1)H decoupling and magic angle spinning conditions, indicating that the homogeneous line widths are determined by conformation-independent factors, including residual dipolar coupling, J-coupling, and intrinsic T(2) relaxation. However, the membrane peptides exhibit larger apparent line widths than the crystalline compounds, indicating conformational disorder. A cationic cell-penetrating peptide, the human immunodeficiency virus TAT, exhibits the largest apparent line widths, which are about five-fold larger than the homogeneous line widths, while the transmembrane helix of the influenza M2 peptide and the β-hairpin antimicrobial peptide PG-1 show moderately larger apparent line widths than the crystalline compounds. These results are consistent with the random coil nature of the TAT peptide, which contrasts with the intramolecularly hydrogen bonded M2 and PG-1. Cross peak line shapes of 2D double-quantum correlation spectra show that the conformational disorder can occur at the residue level and can result from three origins, lipid-peptide interaction, intrinsic conformational disorder encoded in the amino acid sequence, and side-chain rotameric averaging. A particularly important lipid-peptide interaction for cationic membrane peptides is guanidinium-phosphate ion pair interaction. Thus, NMR line widths and line shapes are useful for understanding the conformational disorder of membrane peptides and proteins.

Abstract
Zero-quantum coherence generation and reconversion in magic-angle spinning solid-state NMR is analyzed. Two methods are discussed based on implementations using symmetry-based pulse sequences that utilize either isotropic J couplings or dipolar couplings. In either case, the decoupling of abundant proton spins plays a crucial role for the efficiency of the zero-quantum generation. We present optimized sequences for measuring zero-quantum single-quantum correlation spectra in solids, achieving an efficiency of 50% in ubiquitin. The advantages and disadvantages of zero-quantum single-quantum over single-quantum single-quantum correlation spectroscopy are explored, and similarities and differences with double-quantum single-quantum correlation spectroscopy are discussed. Finally, possible application of zero-quantum single-quantum experiments to polypeptides, where it can lead to better spectral resolution is investigated using ubiquitin, where we find high efficiency and high selectivity, but also increased line widths in the MQ dimension.

Abstract
A new pulse sequence based on intermolecular single-quantum coherences (iSQCs) is proposed to obtain high-resolution NMR spectroscopy in inhomogeneous magnetic fields via fast 2D acquisition. Taking the intrinsic properties of iSQCs, the sequence is time-efficient with a narrow spectral width in the indirect dimension. It can recover useful information of chemical shifts, relative peak areas, J coupling constants, and multiplet patterns even when the field inhomogeneity is severe enough to erase almost all spectroscopic information. Moreover, good solvent suppression efficiency can be achieved by this sequence even with imperfect radio-frequency pulse flip angles. Spatially localized iSQC spectroscopy was performed on a sample packed with pig brain tissue and cucumber to show the feasibility of the sequence in in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). This sequence may provide a promising way for the applications on in vivo and in situ high-resolution NMR spectroscopy.

Abstract
Recent developments in solid-state NMR techniques helped acquire high-resolution NMR spectra for solid systems with structural disorder. But the structural origin of the observed chemical shift nonequivalence in these systems has not been revealed. We report a quantum chemical investigation of the solid-state NMR spectrum in N,N-bis(diphenylphosphino)-N-((S)-alpha-methylbenzyl)amine, where eight nonequivalent (31)P NMR chemical shifts were resolved with a range of 13.0 ppm. Results from using different quantum chemical methods, computational algorithms, intermolecular effects, and structures indicate that for the disordered system, geometry optimization gives the best accord with experimental NMR chemical shifts, which has a theory-versus-experiment correlation R(2) = 0.949 and SD = 1.1 ppm, or R(2) = 0.994 and SD = 0.4 ppm when the average of two unassigned NMR shifts for each molecule is used. In addition, these calculations indicate that the experimental chemical shift nonequivalence in this system is mainly a consequence of the different geometries around the phosphorus atoms due to disordered environments. The experimental (31)P NMR chemical shifts are well correlated (R(2) = 0.981) with two conformation angles and one bond length, each associated with one of the three bonding interactions around the phosphorus atoms. These results will facilitate the use of quantum chemical techniques in structural characterization of disordered solids and elucidation of NMR properties.

Abstract
Solid-state (13)C-NMR spectroscopy was used to characterize native cellulose pellicles from two strains of Gluconacetobacter xylinus (ATCC 53582, ATCC 23769), which had been statically cultivated in Hestrin-Schramm (HS) medium containing fully (13)C-labeled beta-D-glucose-U-(13)C(6) as the sole source of carbon. For both samples, the (13)C-NMR chemical shifts were completely assigned for each (13)C-labeled site of cellulose I(alpha) with the aid of 2D refocused INADEQUATE NMR. To determine the principal chemical shift tensor components, a pulse sequence based on the recoupling of anisotropy information (RAI) was applied at 10 kHz MAS. The detailed (13)C tensors of cellulose I(alpha) from different bacterial celluloses are thus available now for the first time, and these results have been compared with previously published data of nonenriched material and with theoretical predictions.

Abstract
A remarkable enhancement of sensitivity can be often achieved in 29Si solid-state NMR by applying the well-known Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) train of rotor-synchronized pi pulses during the detection of silicon magnetization. Here, several one- and two-dimensional (1D and 2D) techniques are used to demonstrate the capabilities of this approach. Examples include 1D 29Si{X} CPMAS spectra and 2D 29Si{X} HETCOR spectra of mesoporous silicas, zeolites and minerals, where X=1H or 27Al. Data processing methods, experimental strategies and sensitivity limits are discussed and illustrated by experiments. The mechanisms of transverse dephasing of 29Si nuclei in solids are analyzed. Fast magic angle spinning, at rates between 25 and 40 kHz, is instrumental in achieving the highest sensitivity gain in some of these experiments. In the case of 29Si-29Si double-quantum techniques, CPMG detection can be exploited to measure homonuclear J-couplings.

Abstract
The recently introduced concept of the combined use of rotor assisted population transfer (RAPT) and Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) techniques to boost the sensitivity of cross polarization (CP) based NMR experiments is applied to a synthetic zeolite (ZSM-4). The sensitivity was increased by a factor of approximately 4, which enabled acquisition of a high quality two-dimensional 27Al-29Si HETCOR (heteronuclear correlation) spectrum. By separating the resonances in two dimensions, through-space connectivities between spins were revealed and the effective resolution was improved in both dimensions, which allowed determination of the existing ambiguities in spectral assignments in this material. The spectra provided clear indication of random distribution of aluminum and silicon within the ZSM-4 network. Additionally, unexpected correlations were observed between different components of inhomogeneously broadened 29Si and 27Al lines, which are most likely due to differences in the second coordination sphere environments.

Abstract
The robustness of the refocused INADEQUATE MAS NMR pulse sequence for probing through-bond connectivities has been demonstrated in a large range of solid-state applications. This pulse sequence nevertheless suffers from artifacts when applied to multispin systems, e.g. uniformly labeled (13)C solids, which distort the lineshapes and can potentially result in misleading correlation peaks. In this paper, we present a detailed account that combines product-operator analysis, numerical simulations and experiments of the behavior of a three-spin system during the refocused INADEQUATE pulse sequence. The origin of undesired anti-phase contributions to the spectral lineshapes are described, and we show that they do not interfere with the observation of long-range correlations (e.g. two-bond (13)C-(13)C correlations). The suppression of undesired contributions to the refocused INADEQUATE spectra is shown to require the removal of zero-quantum coherences within a z-filter. A method is proposed to eliminate zero-quantum coherences through dephasing by heteronuclear dipolar couplings, which leads to pure in-phase spectra.

Abstract
A large array of advanced solid state NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) techniques is presented in the frame of the structural characterization of sol-gel-derived materials. These techniques include the pertinent detection of (17)O chemical shifts, MAS (magic angle spinning) J spectroscopy in the solid state, high-resolution (1)H spectroscopy, heteronuclear and homonuclear D (dipolar)-derived multidimensional correlation experiments, and first-principles calculations of NMR parameters. This spectroscopic approach is suitable for the in-depth description of multicomponent sol-gel derivatives, crystalline and amorphous biocompatible silicophosphates, Al-O-P clusters, and templated porous materials. It offers unique perspectives for the description of the hybrid interfaces in terms of chemical and spatial connectivities.

Abstract
We describe an approach for the signal assignment and structural analysis with a suite of two-dimensional (13)C-(13)C magic-angle-spinning solid-state NMR spectra of uniformly (13)C-labeled peptides and proteins. We directly fit the calculated spectra to experimental ones by simulated annealing in restrained molecular dynamics program CNS as a function of atomic coordinates. The spectra are calculated from the conformation dependent chemical shift obtained with SHIFTX and the cross-peak intensities computed for recoupled dipolar interactions. This method was applied to a membrane-bound 14-residue peptide, mastoparan-X. The obtained C', C(alpha) and C(beta) chemical shifts agreed with those reported previously at the precisions of 0.2, 0.7 and 0.4 ppm, respectively. This spectral fitting program also provides backbone dihedral angles with a precision of about 50 degrees from the spectra even with resonance overlaps. The restraints on the angles were improved by applying protein database program TALOS to the obtained chemical shifts. The peptide structure provided by these restraints was consistent with the reported structure at the backbone RMSD of about 1 A.

Abstract
One- and two-dimensional refocused MAS-J-INEPT NMR experiments in the solid state (through-bond polarization transfer) involving the highly abundant 31P spin and the rare 29Si spin are described for the crystalline silicophosphate phase Si5O(PO4)6 and complex mixtures of SiP2O7 polymorphs. The evaluation of the 2JP-O-Si coupling constants for all 29Si sites is obtained by the careful analysis of the INEPT build-up curves under fast MAS. The results are in agreement with the crystallographic data, taking into account the various J coupling paths. The efficiency of the experiment is demonstrated by its application to more complex systems such as silicophosphate amorphous gels (obtained by the sol-gel process).

Abstract
Double Quantum (DQ) NMR, which utilizes the magnetic dipole interaction between the (13)C atoms, was used for the complete assignment of the (13)C NMR resonances to the corresponding carbon ring positions for the monoclinic and triclinic allomorphs of methyl 4'-O-methyl-beta-D-cellobioside-(13)C(12)(1-(13)C(12)), a cellodextrin model compound of cellulose (13)C-perlabeled at the cellobiose core. The through-space interactions were used to identify the direct chemical bonds between adjacent carbon atoms in the rings. More importantly, the (13)C NMR signals of the carbon sites C1' and C4 involved in the glycosidic bond were identified. This allowed for the complete (13)C chemical shift assignment, that when combined with the X-ray crystallography data provides a complete characterization.

Abstract
The measurement of scalar (J) couplings by solid-state NMR is a field of great interest, since this interaction is a rich source of local structural information, complementary to dipolar and chemical shift interactions. Here, we first demonstrate that J-coupling distributions exist and can be observed in disordered solids, as illustrated with the observation of a pair-specific distribution of (2)J((31)P-N-(31)P) couplings in a bis-phosphino amine, and we investigate the potential effects of such distributions on the measurement of average J-coupling constants. Second, we show that the measurement of two-dimensional (2D) distributions of J-couplings provides a much richer probe of local structural disorder than one-dimensional distributions, and we introduce new methods that provide different (selective or non-selective) ways of measuring 2D J distributions in a wide range of disordered systems. These methods are finally applied to a slightly disordered polymorphic sample of fully (13)C-enriched cellulose, and then to the bis-phosphino amine sample, from which 2D (2)J(PP)-coupling distributions are clearly identified and interpreted.

Abstract
Delayed-acquisition methods, namely, echo and constant-time-acquisition approaches, allow a significant improvement in resolution in the proton solid state NMR spectra of surface organometallic catalysts such as [syn-(SiO)Mo(=NAr)(=CH(t)Bu)(CH2(t)Bu)] and [(SiO)Re(C(t)Bu)(=CH(t)Bu)(CH2(t)Bu)] (syn/anti ratio = 1:1). This enables the observation of all of the proton resonances, which is not possible with the simple proton single-pulse technique under magic-angle spinning. For example, the methylene protons of the neopentyl ligands, buried in the large peak associated with all of the methyls in the 1H MAS spectrum, can easily be identified by recording a delayed-acquisition spectrum (resolution enhancement of a factor of 3 is obtained). Moreover, combining constant-time acquisition with heteronuclear carbon-proton correlation spectroscopy also improves the resolution of the 2D HETCOR spectra.
