For all ultrafast experiments, spatial encoding was performed
using a constant-time spatial encoding scheme [14] with 15 ms
smoothed chirp [31] encoding pulses. The sweep range for the
encoding pulses (11 kHz for DQF–COSY and zTOCSY, 57 kHz for
HSQC) was set to be significantly larger than the chemical shift
range, and the amplitude of the encoding gradients was adapted to
obtain a frequency dispersion equivalent to the frequency range of

Mixing periods were comparable to those employed in conven-
tional 2D experiments. For DQF–COSY, coherence-selection gradi-
ents were added as indicated on Fig. 2A. For the zTOCSY
experiment (Fig. 4), a 20 ms adiabatic spin-lock period [32] was ap-
plied to obtain an optimum efficiency for a minimum mixing dura-
tion in order to minimize sensitivity losses due to diffusion effects
between encoding and detection. The spin-lock was formed with

Additional ‘‘folding” gradients were set to optimize peak folding
along the ultrafast dimension. Corresponding parameters are indi-
cated in the figure legends.
All spectra were acquired and analyzed using the Bruker pro-
gram Topspin 2.1. The specific processing for ultrafast spectra (as
described in Ref. [11]) was performed using our home-written rou-
tine in Topspin.
