Laser-polarized 129Xe and a high-Tcsuperconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) are used to obtain magnetic resonance images in porous materials at a magnetic field of 2.3 mT, corresponding to a Larmor frequency of 27 kHz. Image resolution of 1 mm is obtained with gradients of only 1 mT/m. The resolution of xenon chemical shifts in different physicochemical environments at ultralow fields is also demonstrated. Details of the circulating flow optical pumping apparatus and the SQUID spectrometer are presented. 相似文献

Two different concepts of gradient current power supplies are introduced, which are suitable for the generation of ultra-high intensity pulsed magnetic field gradients of alternating polarity. The first system consists of a directly binary coded current source (DBCCS). It yields current pulses of up to ±120 A and a maximum voltage across the gradient coil of ±400 V. The second system consists of two TECHRON 8606 power supplies in push–pull configuration (PSPPC). It yields current pulses of up to ±100 A and a maximum voltage across the gradient coil of ±300 V. In combination with actively shielded anti-Helmholtz gradient coils, both systems are used routinely in NMR diffusion studies with unipolar pulsed field gradients of up to 35 T/m. Until now, alternating pulsed field gradient experiments were successfully performed with gradient intensities of up to ±25 T/m (DBCCS) and ±35 T/m (PSPPC), respectively. Based on the observation of the NMR spin echo in the presence of a small read gradient, procedures to test the stability and the matching of such ultra-high pulsed field gradient intensities as well as an automated routine for the compensation of possible mismatches are introduced. The results of these procedures are reported for the PSPPC system. 相似文献

In the past few years, solid-state 1H NMR spectroscopy under fast magic-angle spinning (MAS) has developed into a versatile tool for elucidating structure and dynamics. Dipolar multiple-quantum (MQ), in particular double-quantum (DQ), MAS spectroscopy has been applied to a variety of materials and provided unique insight, e.g., into the structure of hydrogen-bonded systems. This review intends to present solid-state 1H DQ and MQ MAS spectroscopy in a systematic fashion with a particular emphasis on methodological aspects, followed by an overview of applications. 相似文献

The potential of 33S NMR spectroscopy for biochemical investigations on taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) is explored. It is demonstrated that 33S NMR spectroscopy allows the selective and unequivocal identification of taurine in biological samples. 33S NMR spectra of homogenated and intact tissues are reported for the first time, together with the spectrum of a living mollusc. Emphasis is placed on the importance of choosing appropriate signal processing methods to improve the quality of the 33S NMR spectra of biological tissues. 相似文献

The need for simple and robust schemes for the analysis of ligand-protein binding has resulted in the development of diffusion-based NMR techniques that can be used to assay binding in protein solutions containing a mixture of several ligands. As a means of gaining spectral selectivity in NMR diffusion measurements, a simple experiment, the gradient modified spin-echo (GOSE), has been developed to reject the resonances of coupled spins and detect only the singlets in the (1)H NMR spectrum. This is accomplished by first using a spin echo to null the resonances of the coupled spins. Following the spin echo, the singlet magnetization is flipped out of the transverse plane and a dephasing gradient is applied to reduce the spectral artifacts resulting from incomplete cancellation of the J-coupled resonances. The resulting modular sequence is combined here with the BPPSTE pulse sequence; however, it could be easily incorporated into any pulse sequence where additional spectral selectivity is desired. Results obtained with the GOSE-BPPSTE pulse sequence are compared with those obtained with the BPPSTE and CPMG-BPPSTE experiments for a mixture containing the ligands resorcinol and tryptophan in a solution of human serum albumin. 相似文献

A novel method of convection compensated ENMR (CC-ENMR) has been developed to detect electrophoretic motion of ionic species in the presence of bulk solution convection. This was accomplished using a gradient moment nulling technique to remove spectral artifacts from heat-induced convection and using the polarity switch of the applied electric field to retain spin phase modulations due to electrophoretic flow. Experiments were carried out with a mixture of 100 mM L-aspartic acid and 100 mM 4,9-dioxa-1,12-dodecanediamine to demonstrate this new method of ENMR. CC-ENMR enhances our previously developed capillary array ENMR (CA-ENMR) in solving the convection problem. The combined CA- and CC-ENMR approach strengthens the potential of multidimensional ENMR in simultaneous structural determination of coexisting proteins and protein conformations in biological buffer solutions of high ionic strength. Structural mapping of interacting proteins during biochemical reactions becomes possible in the future using ENMR techniques, which may have a profound impact on the understanding of biological events, including protein folding, genetic control, and signal transduction in general. 相似文献

Recently, two methods have been proposed for quantitatively comparing NMR spectra of control and treated samples, in order to examine the possible occurring variations in cell metabolism and/or structure in response to numerous physical, chemical, and biological agents. These methods are the maximum superposition normalization algorithm (MaSNAl) and the minimum rank normalization algorithm (MiRaNAl). In this paper a new subspace-based time-domain normalization algorithm, denoted by SuTdNAl (subspace time-domain normalization algorithm), is presented. By the determination of the intersection of the column spaces of two Hankel matrices, the common signal poles and further on the components having proportionally varying amplitudes are detected. The method has the advantage that it is computationally less intensive than the MaSNAl and the MiRaNAl. Furthermore, no approximate estimate of the normalization factor is required. The algorithm was tested by Monte Carlo simulations on a set of simulation signals. It was shown that the SuTdNAl has a statistical performance similar to that of the MiRaNAl, which itself is an improvement over the MaSNAl. Furthermore, two samples of known contents are compared with the MiRaNAl, the SuTdNAl, and an older method using a standard. Finally, the SuTdNAl is tested on a realistic simulation example derived from an in vitro measurement on cells. 相似文献

We demonstrate the application of the proton inverse detected deuteron (PRIDE) NMR technique to the measurement of the orientation of membrane-bound peptides with enhanced sensitivity. Gramicidin D, a transmembrane peptide, and ovispirin, a surface-bound peptide, were used as model systems. The peptides were 2H-labeled by 1H/2H exchange and oriented uniaxially on glass plates. The directly detected 2H spectra of both peptides showed only a strong D(2)O signal and no large quadrupolar splittings. In contrast, the PRIDE spectrum of gramicidin exhibited quadrupolar splittings as large as 281 kHz, consistent with its transmembrane orientation. Moreover, the large D(2)O signal in the directly detected 2H spectra was cleanly suppressed in the PRIDE spectrum. For ovispirin, the 1H indirectly detected 2H spectrum revealed a 104 kHz splitting and a zero-frequency peak. The former reflects the in-plane orientation of most of the helix axis, while the latter results from residues with a magic-angle orientation of the N-D bonds. These are consistent with previous 15N NMR results on ovispirin. The combination of PRIDE and exchange labeling provides an economical and sensitive method of studying membrane peptide orientations in lipid bilayers without the influence of D(2)O and with the ability to detect N-D bonds at the magic angle from the bilayer normal. 相似文献

Free induction decay (FID) signals in solid state NMR measurements performed with magic angle spinning can often be extended in time by factors on the order of 10 by a simple pulsed spin locking technique. The sensitivity of a structural measurement in which the structural information is contained in the dependence of the integrated FID amplitude on a preceding evolution period can therefore be enhanced substantially by pulsed spin locking in the signal detection period. We demonstrate sensitivity enhancements in a variety of solid state NMR techniques that are applicable to selectively isotopically labeled samples, including 13C-15N rotational echo double resonance (REDOR), 13C-13C dipolar recoupling measurements using the constant-time finite-pulse radio-frequency-driven recoupling (fpRFDR-CT) and constant-time double-quantum-filtered dipolar recoupling (CTDQFD) techniques, and torsion angle measurements using the double quantum chemical shift anisotropy (DQCSA) technique. Further, we demonstrate that the structural information in the solid state NMR data is not distorted by pulsed spin locking in the detection period. 相似文献

New NMR broadband inversion pulses that compensate both for resonance offset and radiofrequency (RF) inhomogeneity are described. The approach described is a straightforward computer optimization of an initial digitized waveform generated from either a constant-amplitude frequency sweep or from an existing composite inversion pulse. Problems with convergence to local minima are alleviated by the way the optimization is carried out. For a given duration and maximum allowable RF field strength B1 (but not necessarily given RMS power deposition), the resultant broadband inversion pulse (BIP) shows superior inversion compared to inversion pulses obtained from previous methods, including adiabatic inversion pulses. Any existing BIP can be systematically elaborated to build up longer inversion pulses that perform over larger and larger bandwidths. The resulting pulse need not be adiabatic throughout its duration or across the entire operational bandwidth. 相似文献

The paramagnetic metallocenes and decamethylmetallocenes (C(5)H(5))(2)M and (C(5)Me(5))(2)M with M=V (S=3/2), Mn (S=5/2 or 1/2), Co (S=1/2), and Ni (S=1) were studied by (1)H and (13)C solid-state MAS NMR spectroscopy. Near room temperature spinning sideband manifolds cover ranges of up to 1100 and 3500 ppm, and isotropic signal shifts appear between -260 and 300 ppm and between -600 and 1640 ppm for (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra, respectively. The isotropic paramagnetic signal shifts, which are related to the spin densities in the s orbital of ligand atoms, were discussed. A Herzfeld--Berger spinning sideband analysis of the ring carbon signals yielded the principal values of the paramagnetic shift tensors, and for metallocenes with a small g-factor anisotropy the electron spin density in the ligand pi system was determined from the chemical shift anisotropy. The unusual features of the (1)H and (13)C solid-state NMR spectra of manganocene were related to its chain structure while temperature-dependent (1)H MAS NMR studies reflected antiferromagnetic interaction between the spin centers. 相似文献

In this study, a 267-microm-diameter solenoid transceiver is used to acquire localized (1)H NMR spectra and the measured signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at 500 MHz is shown to be within 20--30% of theoretical limits formulated by considering only its resistive losses. This is illustrated using a 100-microm-diameter globule of triacylglycerols (approximately 900mM) that may be an oocyte precursor in young Xenopus laevis frogs and a water sample containing choline at a concentration often found in live mammalian cells (approximately 33 mM). In chemical shift imaging (CSI) experiments performed using a few thousand total scans, the choline methyl line is shown to have an acceptable SNR in resolved volume elements containing only 50 pL of sample, and localized spectra are resolved from just 5 pL in the Xenopus globule. These findings demonstrate the feasibility of performing (1)H NMR on picoliter-scale sample volumes in biological cells and tissues and illustrate how the achieved SNR in spectroscopic images can be predicted with reasonable accuracy at microscopic spatial resolutions. 相似文献

Pulsed-field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance (PFG-NMR) is a well-established method for the determination of translational diffusion coefficients. Recently, this method has found applicability in the combinatorial arena with the introduction of affinity NMR for characterizing protein/ligand interactions. Although affinity NMR has been reported to be an effective method for the identification of active compounds in a complex mixture, there are limitations of this method. We have developed a simple mathematical model to predict optimum concentration ratios of the ligand and protein in order to observe maximum changes in the ligand diffusion coefficient upon protein binding. The ligand/protein systems of L-tryptophan and ibuprofen binding to human serum albumin were chosen to demonstrate the usefulness of this model. However, even when the conditions of the mathematical model are satisfied, the spectral background arising from the protein in proton-detected experiments can be problematic. To this end, we have employed spectral subtraction of the protein spectrum to yield ligand diffusion coefficients that are in agreement with those predicted by simulation. 相似文献

An improved 2D (13)C-(13)C CP(3) MAS NMR correlation experiment with mixing by true (1)H spin diffusion is presented. With CP(3), correlations can be detected over a much longer range than with direct (1)H-(13)C or (13)C-(13)C dipolar recoupling. The experiment employs a (1)H spin diffusion mixing period tau(m) sandwiched between two cross-polarization periods. An optimized CP(3) sequence for measuring polarization transfer on a length scale between 0.3 and 1.0 nm using short mixing times of 0.1 ms < tau(m) < 1 ms is presented. For such a short tau(m), cross talk from residual transverse magnetization of the donating nuclear species after a CP can be suppressed by extended phase cycling. The utility of the experiment for genuine structure determination is demonstrated using a self-aggregated Chl a/H(2)O sample. The number of intramolecular cross-peaks increases for longer mixing times and this obscures the intermolecular transfer events. Hence, the experiment will be useful for short mixing times only. For a short tau(m) = 0.1 ms, intermolecular correlations are detected between the ends of phytyl tails and ring carbons of neighboring Chl a molecules in the aggregate. In this way the model for the structure, with stacks of Chl a that are arranged back to back with interdigitating phytyl chains stretched between two bilayers, is validated. 相似文献

Residual dipolar couplings are now widely used for structure determination of biological macromolecules. Until recently, the main focus has been on measurement of dipolar couplings in the protein main chain. However, with the aim of more complete protein structure, it is also essential to have information on the orientation of protein side chains. In addition, residual dipolar couplings can potentially be employed to study molecular dynamics. In this Communication, two simple NH(2) and spin-state edited experiments are presented for rapid and convenient determination of five residual dipolar couplings from (15)N, (1)H correlation spectrum in asparagine and glutamine side chains. The pulse sequences are demonstrated on two proteins, 30.4-kDa Cel6A in diluted liquid crystal phase and 18-kDa human cardiac troponin C in water. 相似文献

We present a new NMR experiment for estimating the type and degree of sugar-puckering in high-molecular-weight unlabeled DNA molecules. The experiment consists of a NOESY sequence preceded by a constant-time scalar coupling period. Two subexperiments are compared, each differing in the amount of time the (3)J(H3'H2') and (3)J(H3'H2") couplings are active on the H3' magnetization. The resultant data are easy to analyze, since a comparison of the signal intensities of any resolved NOE cross peak originating from H3' atoms of the duplex can be used to estimate the sum of the (3)J(H3'H2') and (3)J(H3'H2") couplings and thus the puckering type of the deoxyribose ring. Isotope filters to eliminate signals of the (13)C-labeled component in the F1-dimension are implemented, facilitating analyses of high-molecular-weight protein-DNA complexes containing (13)C-labeled protein and unlabeled DNA. The utility of the experiment is demonstrated on the 26-kDa Dead Ringer protein-DNA complex and reveals that the DNA uniformly adopts the S-type configuration when bound to protein. 相似文献

The design, construction, and performance of a multifrequency pulsed EPR and ENDOR probe for use at cryogenic temperatures are described. Interchangeable resonators based on a folded strip line design allow variation of the resonance frequency over a range of 5-11 GHz. Variable coupling to the resonator is achieved capacitively via a simple mechanical adjustment which is thermally and mechanically stable. The entire assembly is robust and easily fabricated. Common methods of analyzing the resonator parameters such as the Q-factor and coupling coefficient are discussed quantitatively. Probe performance data and multifrequency pulsed ENDOR spectra are presented. 相似文献

We obtained a magnetic resonance image of 1 microm resolution and 75 microm(3) voxel volume for a phantom filled with hydrocarbon oil within an hour at 14.1 T. For this work, a specially designed probe with a high sensitivity RF coil and gradient coils generating over 1000 G/cm was built. The optimal pulse sequence was analyzed in consideration of the bandwidth, diffusion coefficients, and T(1) and T(2) relaxations of the medium. The system was applied to the in vivo imaging of a geranium leaf stem to get the images of 2 microm resolution and 200 microm(3) voxel volume. 相似文献

A capillary NMR flow probe was designed to generate high-resolution 1H NMR spectra at 600 MHz from the cleaved product of individual 160-μm Tentagel combinatorial chemistry beads. By injecting a dissolved sample sandwiched between an immiscible, perfluorinated organic liquid directly into the probe, NMR spectra of the product cleaved from single beads were acquired in just 1 h of spectrometer time without diffusional dilution. Sample handling efficiency on the single bead scale was comparable to that obtained with a bulk sample. Using the relative intensity of the DMSO-d5H versus the analyte signals in a fully relaxed CPMG spectrum, the amount of product cleaved from a single bead was determined to be 540±170 pmol in one of the samples. Following the NMR data collection, the samples were examined with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry to provide additional structural information. By coupling with microliter-volume fluidic capabilities, the capillary flow probe described here will enable multidimensional characterization of single solid-phase resin products in an online manner. 相似文献
