Dipolar recoupling in MAS spectra of biological solids

Nature Structural Biology volume 5, pages 508–512 (1998)Cite this article

Abstract

In combination with magic angle spinning, dipolar recoupling yields solid state NMR spectral assignments and provides constraints on internuclear distances and torsion angles. The method offers a fresh approach to structural studies of a variety of systems that cannot be examined with conventional tools available to structural biology.
