'NMR people' do use thermophilic proteins but I have never heard of anyone boiling samples :)
By increasing temperature I meant going to around 37-40 deg C.

I wonder whether NMR people have tried using hyperthermophile proteins
to be able to essentially boil the sample to decrease the rotational
correlation time constant? There is even an organism I read about in a
Science brevia paper whose peak doubling time is at autoclave
temperatures...
