Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) can dramatically increase the signal in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments by transferring spin polarization from electrons to nuclei. We discuss quantum mechanical descriptions of the “solid effect” and “cross effect” mechanisms of DNP that typically occur in solid state NMR at high magnetic field, both with and without magic angle spinning (MAS). We present several extensions of recent theoretical descriptions, including (i) treatments of solid effect DNP and cross effect DNP with MAS, in which two nuclei change spin states simultaneously and (ii) a treatment of solid effect DNP in a two-spin system without MAS, in which the ratio of microwave field strength to hyperfine coupling strength can be arbitrary. We also briefly discuss factors that influence DNP efficiency in experiments, beyond the basic principles contained in simple quantum mechanical models.

We explore the possibility of using dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) to enhance signals in structural studies of biological solids by solid state NMR without sample spinning. Specifically, we use 2D 13C-13C exchange spectroscopy to probe the peptide backbone torsion angles (?,?) in a series of selectively 13C-labeled 40-residue ?-amyloid (A ?1-40) samples, in both fibrillar and...

Magic Angle Spinning (MAS) Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) has proven to be a very powerful way to improve the signal to noise ratio of NMR experiments on solids. The experiments have in general been interpreted considering the Solid-Effect (SE) and Cross-Effect (CE) DNP mechanisms while ignoring the influence of sample spinning. In this paper, we show experimental data of MAS-DNP enhancements of 1H and 13C in...
