Magic angle spinning solid-state NMR (MAS ssNMR) spectroscopy is a powerful method for structure determination of biomacromolecules that are recalcitrant to crystallization (membrane proteins and fibrils). Conventional multidimensional ssNMR methods acquire one experiment at a time. This approach is time consuming and discards orphan (unused) spin operators. Relatively low sensitivity and poor resolution of protein samples require long acquisition times for multidimensional ssNMR experiments. Here, we describe our recent progress in the development of multiple acquisition solid-state NMR methods for protein structure determination. A family of experiments called Polarization Optimized Experiments (POE) were designed, in which we utilized the orphan spin operators that are discarded in classical multidimensional NMR experiments, recovering them to allow simultaneous acquisition of multiple 2D and 3D experiments, all while using conventional probes with spectrometers equipped with one receiver. Three strategies namely, DUMAS, MEIOSIS, and MAeSTOSO were used for the concatenation of various 2D and 3D experiments. These methods open up new avenues for reducing the acquisition times of multidimensional experiments for biomolecular ssNMR spectroscopy.
