Abstract
Broadband homonuclear mixing pulses with low radiofrequency power are essential for NMR spectroscopy of proteins and small molecules, especially for emerging applications in high field NMR. We have analytically designed a mixing pulse with high bandwidth-to-power ratio, using our recently developed multi-frame method. Here, we compare the new pulse, NF4 (mixing in the fourth nutating frame), to the best currently available sequence, focusing on the low-power regime. We use simulations and experiments to compare the two pulses' relaxation properties and bandwidth, and demonstrate that NF4 has approximately 1.35 times higher bandwidth, with similar effective relaxation. Therefore, NF4 is a good choice for broadband homonuclear mixing, particularly when the available radiofrequency power is limited.

Abstract
We present a method for designing radio-frequency (RF) pulses for broadband or multi-band isotropic mixing at low power, suitable for protein NMR spectroscopy. These mixing pulses are designed analytically, rather than by numerical optimization, by repeatedly...

[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] Pulse sequence for homonuclear correlation with SPC5 mixing period
Pulse sequence for homonuclear correlation with SPC5 mixing period
Hi,I'm looking for a pulse program suitable for Bruker Avance llI (topspin 2.1) which is 2D homonuclear correlation with a mixing period of the symmetry based pulse scheme - the SPC5 scheme. I took the basic PDSD experiment and just replaced the mixing period with the appropriate pulses of the SPC5 scheme but it didn't work. Does someone has a ready-to-run pulse scheme out there? Basically for 13C-13C correlation, the program starts with a 90 pulse on 1H, followed by CP from 1H to 13C, t1 evolution, 90 pulse on 13C, mixing...

Chemical shift correlation at high MAS frequencies employing low-power symmetry-based mixing schemes
Chemical shift correlation at high MAS frequencies employing low-power symmetry-based mixing schemes
Abstract An approach for conveniently implementing low-power CN n ν and RN n ν symmetry-based band-selective mixing sequences for generating homo- and heteronuclear chemical shift correlation NMR spectra of low γ nuclei in biological solids is demonstrated. Efficient magnetisation transfer characteristics are achieved by selecting appropriate symmetries requiring the application of basic RF elements of relatively long duration and numerically tailoring the RF field modulation profile...

We test the performance of several 13C homonuclear mixing sequences on perdeuterated microcrystalline ubiquitin. All sequences were applied without 1H decoupling and at relatively low MAS frequencies. We found that RFDR gave the highest overall transfer efficiency and that DREAM performs surprisingly well under these conditions being twice...

Abstract:
We have explored the design of broadband scalar coupling mediated 13C–13C and cross-relaxation suppressed 1H–1H TOCSY sequences employing phase/amplitude modulated inversion pulses. Considering a variety of supercycles, pulsewidths and a RF field strength of 10 kHz, the Fourier coefficients...
