After the exploitation of 1H polarization as a starting source for 13C direct detection experiments, pulse sequences are designed which exploit the accelerated 1H longitudinal relaxation to expedite 13C direct detection experiments. We show here that 2D experiments based on 13C direct detection on a 0.5 mM water sample of ubiquitin can be recorded in a few minutes and 3D experiments in a few hours. We also show that fast methods like nonuniform sampling can be easily implemented. As overall experimental time has always been a counter indication for the use of 13C direct detection experiments, this research opens new avenues for the application of 13C NMR to biological molecules.
