ABSTRACT
Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) is a powerful method to enhance NMR sensitivity. Much progress has been achieved recently to optimize DNP performance at high magnetic fields in solid-state samples, mostly by utilizing the solid or the cross effect. In liquids, only the Overhauser mechanism is active, which exhibits a DNP field profile matching the EPR line shape of the radical, distinguishable from other DNP mechanisms. Here, we observe DNP enhancements with a field profile indicative of the solid effect and thermal mixing at â¼320 K and a magnetic field of 9.4 T in the fluid phase of 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) lipid bilayers doped with the radical BDPA (1,3-bis(diphenylene)-2-phenylallyl). This interesting observation might open up new perspectives for DNP applications in macromolecular systems at ambient temperatures.
