It is shown that nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of nitrogen-14 (spin I = 1) can be obtained by indirect detection in powders spinning at the magic angle (MAS). The method relies on the transfer of coherence from a neighboring nucleus with S = 1/2, such as carbon-13, to single- or double-quantum transitions of nitrogen-14 nuclei. The transfer of coherence occurs through second-order quadrupole-dipole cross terms, also known as residual dipolar splittings. The two-dimensional NMR spectra reveal powder patterns determined by the second-order quadrupolar interactions of nitrogen-14. Analysis of the spectra yields the quadrupolar coupling constant, CQ, and asymmetry parameter, Q, of nitrogen-14. These parameters can be related to the structure of nitrogen-containing solids

Abstract
The development of residual dipolar coupling (RDC) in protein NMR spectroscopy, over a decade ago, has become a useful and almost routine tool for accurate protein solution structure determination. RDCs provide orientation information of magnetic dipole-dipole interaction vectors within a common reference frame. Its measurement requires a...

Correlation of chemical shifts of low-? nuclei (such as 15N) is an important method for assignment of resonances in uniformly-labeled biological solids. Under static experimental conditions, an efficient mixing of low-? nuclear spin magnetization can be achieved by a thermal contact to the common reservoir of...

Characterization of slow conformational dynamics in solids: dipolar CODEX
Characterization of slow conformational dynamics in solids: dipolar CODEX
Abstract A solid state NMR experiment is introduced for probing relatively slow conformational exchange, based on dephasing and refocusing dipolar couplings. The method is closely related to the previously described Centerband-Only Detection of Exchange or CODEX experiment. The use of dipolar couplings for this application is advantageous because their values are known a priori from molecular structures, and their orientations and reorientations relate in a simple way to molecular geometry and motion. Furthermore...

Residual dipolar couplings: are multiple independent alignments always possible?
Residual dipolar couplings: are multiple independent alignments always possible?
Abstract RDCs for the 14 kDa protein hen egg-white lysozyme (HEWL) have been measured in eight different alignment media. The elongated shape and strongly positively charged surface of HEWL appear to limit the protein to four main alignment orientations. Furthermore, low levels of alignment and the proteinâ??s interaction with some alignment media increases the experimental error. Together with heterogeneity across the alignment media arising from constraints on temperature, pH and ionic strength for some...

Residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) have recently emerged as a new tool in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) with which to study macromolecular structure and function in a solution environment. RDCs are complementary to the more conventional use of NOEs to provide structural information. While NOEs are local-distance restraints, RDCs provide...
