Liquid-state low-concentration photochemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (LC-photo-CIDNP) is an emerging technology tailored to enhance the sensitivity of NMR spectroscopy via LED- or laser-mediated optical irradiation. LC-photo-CIDNP is particularly useful to detect solvent-exposed aromatic residues (Trp, Tyr), either in isolation or within polypeptides and proteins. This study investigates the magnetic-field dependence of the LC-photo-CIDNP of Trp-α-13 C-β,β,2,4,5,6,7-d7 , a Trp isotopolog bearing a quasi-isolated 1 Hα -13 Cα spin pair (QISP)...
