This document discusses techniques for optimizing NMR experiments, including TROSY and methods that take advantage of favorable relaxation properties. It describes how differential relaxation of spin states can be used to improve resolution and sensitivity. Specific experiments mentioned include TROSY, ZQ-TROSY, CoCaIn for measuring RDCs, and using polychromatic pulses for polarization transfer in large molecules.
