The cryogenic temperatures at which dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) solid-state NMR experiments need to be carried out cause line-broadening, an effect that is especially detrimental for crowded protein spectra. By increasing the magnetic field strength from 600 to 800Â*MHz, the resolution of DNP spectra of type III secretion needles (T3SS) could be improved by 22Â*%, indicating that inhomogeneous broadening is not the dominant effect that limits the resolution of T3SS needles under DNP conditions. The outstanding spectral resolution of this system under DNP conditions can be attributed to its low overall flexibility.

TSAR: a program for automatic resonance assignment using 2D cross-sections of high dimensionality, high-resolution spectra
TSAR: a program for automatic resonance assignment using 2D cross-sections of high dimensionality, high-resolution spectra
Abstract While NMR studies of proteins typically aim at structure, dynamics or interactions, resonance assignments represent in almost all cases the initial step of the analysis. With increasing complexity of the NMR spectra, for example due to decreasing extent of ordered structure, this task often becomes both difficult and time-consuming, and the recording of high-dimensional data with high-resolution may be essential. Random sampling of the evolution time space,...
