We demonstrate a dipolar-chemical shift correlation technique for sign-sensitive determination of the torsion angle in solid peptides and proteins under magic-angle spinning. The indirect dimension of the experiment is obtained by separate but synchronous evolution of the magnetization under the 15

✦ Synopsis
This work explores the utility of simple rotary resonance experiments for the determination of the magnitude and orientation of 13 C chemical shift tensors relative to one or more 13 C-14 N internuclear axes from 13 C magic-angle-spinning NMR experiments. The experiment relies on simultaneous recoupling of the anisotropic 13 C chemical shift and 13 C-14 N dipole-dipole coupling interactions using 2D rotary resonance NMR with RF irradiation on the 13 C spins only. The method is demonstrated by experiments and numerical simulations for the 13 C ␣ spins in powder samples of L-alanine and glycine with 13 C in natural abundance. To investigate the potential of the experiment for determination of relative/ absolute tensor orientations and backbone dihedral angles in peptides, the influence from long-range dipolar coupling to sequential 14 N spins in a peptide chain ( 14 N i -13 C i ␣ -14 N i؉1 and 14 N i؉1 -13 C i -14 N i three-spin systems) as well as residual quadrupolar-dipolar coupling cross-terms is analyzed numerically.
