title: Frozen-solution conformational analysis by REDOR spectroscopy.
abstract: Frozen-solution conformational analysis (FrSCA) can be performed on organic compounds using REDOR spectroscopy. REDOR measurements on frozen aqueous solutions of 13C-methyl beta-15N-aminoglucoside indicate a bimodal distribution of conformations in a 68:32 ratio, with 13C-15N distances of 4.31 and 3.55 A, respectively. The high resolution and straightforward sample preparation make FrSCA an attractive alternative to solution-based NMR methods of conformational analysis.
