  text: A versatile strategy for synthesizing tailored peptide based biradicals is
    presented. By labeling the protected amino acid hydroxyproline with PROXYL via
    the OH functionality and using this building block in solid phase peptide synthesis
    (SPPS), the obtained peptides become polarization agents for DNP enhanced solid-state
    NMR in biotolerant media. To analyze the effect of the radical position on the
    enhancement factor, three different biradicals are synthesized. The PROXYL spin-label
    is inserted in a collagen inspired artificial peptide sequence by binding through
    the OH group of the hydroxyproline moieties at specific position in the chain.
    This labeling strategy is universally applicable for any hydroxyproline position
    in a peptide sequence since solid-phase peptide synthesis is used to insert the
    building block. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry
    (MS) analyses show the successful introduction of the spin label in the peptide
    chain and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy confirms its activity.
    Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) enhanced solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance
    (NMR) experiments performed on frozen aqueous glycerol-d8 solutions containing
    these peptide radicals show significantly higher enhancement factors of up to
    45 in 1H→13C cross polarization magic angle spinning (CP MAS) experiments compared
    to an analogous mono-radical peptide including this building block (ε ≈ 14). Compared
    to commercial biradicals such as AMUPol for which enhancement factors {\textgreater}
    100 have been obtained in the past and which have been optimized in their structure,
    the obtained enhancement up to 45 for our biradicals presents a significant progress
    in radical design.
