Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) agents are provided for DNP nuclear magnetic resonance of analytes. The DNP agents can have the structure A-X-L-R, where A is none or an amphiphilic group; X is a coupling group capable of site-specific binding with the analyte or, when A is an amphiphilic group, capable of site-specific binding with the amphiphilic group; L is a bond or a linker group; and R is a poly-radical group. The poly-radical can be a di-radical, a tri-radical, a tetra-radical, or a combination thereof. Methods of NMR measurement of an analyte comprising an NMR-detectable nucleus are provided. The methods can include the steps of providing a frozen sample containing the analyte and a DNP agent; applying radiation having a frequency that excites electron spin transitions in the DNP agent at an intensity to polarize the NMR-detectable nucleus; and detecting a signal from nuclear spin transitions in the NMR-detectable nucleus.
为分析物的 DNP 核磁共振提供了动态核偏振(DNP)剂。DNP 药剂可以具有 A-X-L-R 结构,其中 A 是无或两性基团;X 是能够与分析物进行特定位点结合的偶联基团,或者当 A 是两性基团时,能够与两性基团进行特定位点结合;L 是键或连接基团;R 是多辐射基团。多自由基可以是二自由基、三自由基、四自由基或其组合。提供了对包含核磁共振可检测核的分析物进行核磁共振测量的方法。这些方法可包括以下步骤:提供含有被分析物和 DNP 剂的冷冻样品;施加频率可激发 DNP 剂中电子自旋跃迁的辐射,其强度可使 NMR 可检测核极化;以及检测 NMR 可检测核中的核自旋跃迁信号。
