An NMR thermometer for cryogenic magic-angle spinning NMR: the spin-lattice relaxation of (127)I in cesium iodide

The accurate temperature measurement of solid samples under magic-angle spinning (MAS) is difficult in the cryogenic regime. It has been demonstrated by Thurber et al. (J. Magn. Reson., 196 (2009) 84-87) [10] that the temperature dependent spin-lattice relaxation time constant of ⁷⁹Br in KBr powder can be useful for measuring sample temperature under MAS over a wide temperature range (20–296 K). However the value of T₁ exceeds 3 min at temperatures below 20 K, which is inconveniently long. In this communication, we show that the spin-lattice relaxation time constant of ¹²⁷I in CsI powder can be used to accurately measure sample temperature under MAS within a reasonable experimental time down to 10 K.

Sodium-23 MAS NMR study on nuclear quadrupole interaction in NA(1-x)Ag(x)NO2.

Ag-impurity effects on the first- and second-order quadrupole interaction (QI) at ²³Na site in an isomorphic mixed system, Na_1−xAg_xNO₂ (x=0, 0.0084, 0.026, 0.079, 0.094, 0.16), have been investigated by employing ²³Na (I=3/2) magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR) technique. The central transition (CT) and satellite transition (ST) are simultaneously observed with this system. From the spectral analysis, the quadrupole parameter and its distribution width are obtained as a function of Ag concentration. From the intensity loss of CT MAS centerband and of the envelope function of ST MAS sidebands due to impurities, the range of their influence on the second- and first-order QI is estimated. The estimated ranges contain the second and first neighbouring Na sites from the resonating ²³Na nucleus for the first- and second-order QI, respectively.     

Synthesis of new spin labels for Cu-free click conjugation

New pyrroline nitroxides attached to a terminal acetylenic sulfone, a dibenzocyclooctyne or a cyclooctyne carboxylic acid were synthesized and tested in Cu-free click reactions to conjugate these new spin labels with 4-azido-TEMPO, azidophenylalanine and an azidophenylalanine-containing protein.     

Evaluation of isotope-coded protein labeling (ICPL) in the quantitative analysis of complex proteomes

An evaluation of the ICPL (isotope-coded protein labeling) non-isobaric labeling technique was performed using two different biological models. Two samples containing phage T4 capsids were mixed in a 1:1 ratio after being labeled with the light or heavy versions of the ICPL reagent. The analysis of this proteome demonstrated the feasibility of this approach for differential quantitative proteomics and was employed to optimize the experimental parameters of the ICPL workflow. ICPL-mediated analysis of two more complex proteomes, those of a Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium virulent strain and an isogenic attenuated mutant, and its comparison with the results obtained in a 2D-PAGE “classical” approach confirmed that ICPL is a valuable alternative to other labeling techniques currently in use. In addition, our results suggest that labeling at the peptide level instead of following the standard ICPL workflow should increase both the number of proteins quantified and the reliability of the quantification.

An efficient distributed algorithm for canonical labeling on directed split-stars

We consider the problem of canonical labeling in anonymous directed split-stars. This paper proposes a distributed algorithm for finding the vertex sets with specified leading symbols in directed split-stars and which has a linear message and constant time complexity. The algorithm runs on an asynchronous timing model without shared memory. In addition, our algorithm generalizes the previous distributed algorithms on directed split-stars that we know.
