Substances containing rapidly rotating methyl groups may exhibit long-lived states (LLSs) in solution, with relaxation times substantially longer than the conventional spin-lattice relaxation time T1. The states become long-lived through rapid internal rotation of the CH3 group, which imposes an approximate symmetry on the fluctuating nuclear spin interactions. In the case of very low CH3 rotational barriers, a hyperpolarized LLS is populated by thermal equilibration at liquid helium temperature. Following dissolution, cross-relaxation of the hyperpolarized LLS, induced by heteronuclear dipolar couplings, generates strongly enhanced antiphase NMR signals. This mechanism explains the NMR signal enhancements observed for (13)C-gamma-picoline (Icker, M.; Berger, S. J. Magn. Reson. 2012, 219, 1-3).

Multiplet-filtered and gradient-selected zero-quantum TROSY experiments for 13C1H3 methyl groups in proteins
Multiplet-filtered and gradient-selected zero-quantum TROSY experiments for 13C1H3 methyl groups in proteins
Abstract Multiplet-filtered and gradient-selected heteronuclear zero-quantum coherence (gsHZQC) TROSY experiments are described for measuring 1Hâ??13C correlations for 13CH3 methyl groups in proteins. These experiments provide improved suppression of undesirable, broad outer components of the heteronuclear zero-quantum multiplet in medium-sized proteins, or in flexible sites of larger proteins, compared to previously described HZQC sequences (Tugarinov et al. in J Am Chem Soc...

Abstract
The relaxation of long-lived states (LLS) corresponds to the slow return to statistical thermal equilibrium between symmetric and antisymmetric proton spin states. This process is remarkably sensitive to the presence of external spins and can be used to obtain...
