We review recent efforts to develop and apply an experimental approach to the structural characterization of transient intermediate states in biomolecular processes that involve large changes in molecular conformation or assembly state. This approach depends on solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) measurements that are performed at very low temperatures, typically 25-30 K, with signal enhancements from dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP). This approach also involves novel technology for...
