title: Evidence for dynamics on a 100 ns time scale from single- and double-quantum nitrogen-14 NMR in solid peptides.
abstract: The indirect detection of 14N spectra via protons in the manner of heteronuclear multiple-quantum correlation (HMQC) allows one to obtain single- (SQ) and double-quantum (DQ) 14N spectra in solids. A comparison of the SQ and DQ line widths as a function of temperature with simulations reveals motions in the tripeptide AAG with rates on the order of 107 s(-1) at 49 degrees C.
