1 H-detection offers a substitute to the sensitivity-starved experiments often used to characterize biomolecular samples using magic-angle spinning solid-state NMR spectroscopy (MAS-ssNMR). To mitigate the effects of the strong 1 H- 1 H dipolar coupled network that would otherwise severely broaden resonances, high MAS frequencies (> 40 kHz) are often employed. Here, we have explored the alternative of stroboscopic 1 H-detection at moderate MAS frequencies of 5-30 kHz using windowed version of supercycled-phase-modulated Lee-Goldburg homonuclear decoupling. We show that improved resolution in the 1 H dimension, comparable to that obtainable at high spinning frequencies of 40-60 kHz without homonuclear decoupling, can be obtained in these experiments for fully protonated proteins. Along with detailed analysis of the performance of the method on the standard tri-peptide f-MLF, experiments on micro-crystalline GB1 and amyloid- ? aggregates are used to demonstrate the applicability of these pulse-sequences to challenging biomolecular systems. With only two parameters to optimize, broadbanded performance of the homonuclear decoupling sequence, linear dependence of the chemical-shift scaling factor on resonance offset and a straightforward implementation under experimental conditions currently used for many biomolecular studies (viz. spinning frequencies and radio-frequency amplitudes), we expect these experiments to complement the current 13 C-detection based methods in assignments and characterization through chemical-shift mapping.

The four aromatic amino acids in proteins, namely histidine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan, give highly overlapped 13C chemical shifts between 100 and 160ppm, and have so far been largely neglected in solid-state NMR determination of protein structures. Yet...

Recovery of bulk proton magnetization and sensitivity enhancement in ultrafast magic-angle spinning solid-state NMR
From The DNP-NMR Blog:
Recovery of bulk proton magnetization and sensitivity enhancement in ultrafast magic-angle spinning solid-state NMR
A large portion of the magnetization in a CP experiment remains unused after an experiment and different strategies exist to make better use of the proton magnetization. Here the authors show their results of testing 7 different cp schemes. Although not directly related to DNP these techniques are still very valuable to increase the sensitivity of an NMR experiment especially in combination with DNP.

Fast magic angle spinning NMR with heteronucleus detection for resonance assignments and structural characterization of fully protonated proteins
Fast magic angle spinning NMR with heteronucleus detection for resonance assignments and structural characterization of fully protonated proteins
Abstract
Heteronucleus-detected dipolar based correlation spectroscopy is established for assignments of 1H, 13C, and 15N resonances and structural analysis in fully protonated proteins. We demonstrate that 13C detected 3D experiments are highly efficient and permit assignments of the majority of backbone resonances, as shown in an 89-residue dynein light chain 8, LC8 protein. With these experiments, we...
