Short summary
Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) magic angle spinning NMR yields huge signal enhancements and is attractive for signal-limited cases. We studied polarization transfer pathways underlying sensitivity and resolution in DNP experiments on tubular assemblies of HIV-1 CA protein. All three polarization transfer pathways are simultaneously active and can be selected by carefully choosing experimental conditions. Our study highlights the unique capabilities of DNP for structural biology applications.
