The quality and signal to noise ratio of a J-based HETCOR performed on a standard MAS probe have been compared with a gradient enhanced HSQC performed on a HR-MAS probe at 500 MHz. The sample selected was cholesterol, inserted at 30 mol% in acyl chain deuterated phospholipids (DMPC-d54), at a temperature where the bilayer is in a liquid crystalline phase (310 K). It is representative of any rigid molecule undergoing fast axial diffusion in a bilayer as the main movement. After optimization of the spinning rate and carbon decoupling conditions, it is shown that the ge-HSQC/MAS approach is far superior to the more conventional J-HETCOR/MAS in terms of signal to noise ratio, and that it allows the detection of all the natural abundance cross peaks of cholesterol in a membrane environment. Clear differences between the 1H and 13C chemical shifts of cholesterol in a membrane and in chloroform solution were thus revealed.
