Measurement of steady-state 15N-{1H} nuclear Overhauser effects forms a cornerstone of most methods to determine protein backbone dynamics from spin-relaxation data, since it is the most reliable probe of very fast motions on the ps-ns timescale. We have, in two previous publications (J. Magn. Reson. 192 (2008), 302-313; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 131 (2009), 6048-6049) reevaluated spin-dynamics during steady-state (or “saturated”) and reference experiments, both of which are required to determine the NOE ratio. Here we assess the performance of several windowed and windowless sequences to achieve effective saturation of protons in steady-state experiments. We also evaluate the influence of...</br>
