Sensitivity enhancement in NMR of macromolecules by application of optimal control theory.

abstract：:Scalar coupling correlations across hydrogen bonds with carbonyl groups as acceptors have been observed in a variety of proteins, but not in nucleic acids. Here we present a pulse scheme that allows such an observation and quantification of trans-hydrogen bond 3hJ(NC)' correlations in nucleic acid base pairs, between ...
