摘要
Tuneable RDCs: A fast and tunable method for measuring anisotropic NMR parameters using variable compression/relaxation of clean and reusable PMMA gels in CDCl3 is introduced (see picture). No special devices are needed. The configuration and conformation of small molecules can be determined by using the RDC slopes without the need for performing a control experiment in isotropic conditions. © 2010 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
