While double-resonance <sup>1</sup>H/<sup>15</sup><span>N experiments are effective for structure elucidation of alpha-helical domains, extension of the method of oriented samples to more complex topologies and assessing side-chain conformations necessitates further development of triple-resonance (</span><sup>1</sup>H/<sup>13</sup>C/<sup>15</sup>N) NMR pulse sequences.
