A Novel Waveguide to Enable MAS-DNP-NMR in Standard-bore High-field Magnets Narrative Thousands of researchers are regularly using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) techniques, with a majority of the applications driven by the need for structure and function determination in biological macromolecules. The advances developed under this project, in combination with several other advances under separate projects, will allow NMR laboratories to dramatically improve their sensitivity on solids, on a budget they will be able to afford, equipping biomedical researchers with superb new tools for the structure-function studies of membrane proteins and cellular membrane systems.
