Solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) enables atomic-resolution characterization of the molecular structure and dynamics within complex heterogeneous samples, but it is typically insensitive. Dynamic polarization (DNP) increases NMR signal intensity by orders magnitude can be performed in combination with magic angle spinning (MAS) for sensitive, high-resolution spectroscopy. Here we report MAS DNP experiments, first time, intact human cells >40-fold enhancement a sample temperature...

Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) can enhance NMR sensitivity by orders of magnitude transferring spin from electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) to NMR. However, DNP polarizing agents have deleterious effects on signals. Electron decoupling mitigate these relaxation effects. We demonstrate experiments in conjunction with and magic-angle-spinning spectroscopy. Following a diffusion period, the microwave irradiation frequency is quickly tuned on-resonance electrons agent. The performance...

Fermentation products, together with food components, determine the sense, nutrition, and safety of fermented foods. Traditional methods fermentation product identification are time-consuming cumbersome, which cannot meet increasing need for extensive bioactive metabolites produced during fermentation.

Precise alignment of the sample's spinning axis is vital for many magic angle solid state NMR experiments. Spherical rotors are a new paradigm NMR, having been demonstrated to spin stably with little risk rotor crash, but like cylindrical rotors, they have previously only utilized mechanical adjustment method set rotation angle. Here we show that by using second gas aperture within stator, spherical rotor's may be precisely pitched about without or motion stator. The 2H MAS sideband...
