PY - 1987/4. Y1 - 1987/4. N2 - A method is suggested to determine the most probable values of the angles, y of the protein backbone by the data on the availability and absence of d connectivities in the two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectra. In view of this, the dependences of the protonproton distances in dipeptide units of L-amino acid residues on the dihedral angles tp, y, x, are considered and the conformational states of amino acid residues of the proteins with the known spatial structure are analysed statistically. The potentialities of the method are assessed with the aid of model spectral nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) parameters obtained from the X-ray data for the bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor and avian pancreatic polypeptide.

TY - JOUR. T1 - Proton nuclear magnetic resonance assignments and secondary structure determination of the Co1E1 rop (rom) protein. AU - Eberle, W.. AU - Klaus, W.. AU - Cesareni, G.. AU - Sander, C.. AU - Rosch, P.. PY - 1990. Y1 - 1990. N2 - The complete resonance assignment of the Co1E1 rop (rom) protein at pH 2.3 was obtained by two-dimensional (2D) proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H NMR) at 500 and 600 MHz using through-bond and through-space connectivities. Sequential assignments and elements of regular secondary structure were deduced by analysis of nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (NOESY) experiments and 3J(HNα) coupling constants. One 7.2-kDa monomer of the homodimer consists of two antiparallel helices connected by a hairpin loop at residue 31. The C-terminal peptide consisting of amino acids 59-63 shows no stable conformation. The dimer forms a four-helix bundle with opposite polarization of neighboring elements in agreement with the X-ray structure.. AB - ...

AU - Huang, T. H.. AU - Das Gupta, S. K.. AU - Griffin, R. G.. PY - 1982/7. Y1 - 1982/7. N2 - The temperature dependence of the 13C NMR spectra of dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DPPE) and three lecithins-dimyristoyl-, dipalmitoyl-, and distearoylphosphatidylcholine- which have been 13C-labeled at the sn-2 carbonyl has been studied. In the Lg or Lp phase, an axially symmetric powder pattern of about 100-ppm breadth is observed, and this transforms to an isotropic line at the main Lβ (Lβ) →Lα phase transition. In the case of DPPE, this transformation occurs precipitously and, with data from 2H spectra of 2H chain labeled DPPE, is shown to be due to a change in conformation at the sn-2 carbonyl. In contrast, the 13C=0 sn-2 spectra of lecithins exhibit a gradual transformation, beginning at ...
A method for determining properties of a mixture of fluids includes: (a) acquiring a plurality of nuclear magnetic resonance measurements from the mixture of fluids, each of the plurality of nuclear magnetic resonance measurements having a different value in an acquisition parameter for which at least one relaxation selected from the group consisting of longitudinal relaxation and transverse relaxation affects magnitudes of the nuclear magnetic resonance measurements; (b) generating a model of the mixture of fluids; (c) calculating a synthesized nuclear magnetic data set based on the model; (d) comparing the synthesized nuclear magnetic data set with the nuclear magnetic resonance measurements; and (e) adjusting the model and repeating (c) and (d), if difference between the synthesized nuclear magnetic data set and the nuclear magnetic measurements is greater than a minimum.

N2 - We have compared hydrogen bond lengths on enzymes derived with high precision (≤ ±0.05 Å) from both the proton chemical shifts (δ) and the fractionation factors (φ) of the proton involved with those obtained from protein X-ray crystallography. Hydrogen bond distances derived from proton chemical shifts were obtained from a correlation of 59 O-H ···· O hydrogen bond lengths, measured by small molecule high-resolution X-ray crystallography, with chemical shifts determined by solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in the same crystals (McDermott A, Ridenour CF, Encyclopedia of NMR, Sussex, U.K.: Wiley, 1996:3820-3825). Hydrogen bond distances were independently obtained from fractionation factors that yield distances between the two proton wells in quartic double minimum potential ...

N2 - 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) was employed to study the effects of proton irradiation on KTiOPO4 (KTP) in view of the previously studied paramagnetic impurity doping effects. High-resolution 31P NMR measurements showed significant increase in the isotropic chemical shifts of the two inequivalent phosphorus sites in the proton-irradiated KTP system, indicating decrease in the electron density around the phosphorous nuclei. The 31P NMR linewidths of the KTP system manifested anomalies associated with the superionic transition and with the polaron formation, which became much weaker after proton irradiation. Besides, the activation energy of the charge carriers increased significantly after proton irradiation..

High-resolution magic angle spinning proton (HRMAS 1H) magnetic resonance spectroscopy produces well-resolved spectra of metabolites from intact tissue specimens. Here we report the results of a preliminary study of 19 human brain tumors obtained by applying this method. Among these 19 cases were 2 low-grade astrocytomas, 1 anaplastic astrocytoma, 8 glioblastomas, 6 meningiomas, and 2 schwannomas. In addition, autopsy human brain tissues from two subjects without any known neurological diseases were used as normal controls. The HRMAS 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy measurements were performed at 2°C on a 400-MHz NMR spectrometer with a HRMAS speed of 2.5 kHz. From these HRMAS 1H MR spectra, we measured the concentrations of 11 metabolites, the ratios of 15 metabolites (resonances) to creatine (at 3.03 ppm), and the spin-spin relaxation time for these metabolites (resonances). Our results indicate that these parameters have the potential to characterize tumor types and grades with statistical ...

1. One- and two-dimensional (correlated shift spectroscopy) high resolution proton n.m.r. spectra of human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are reported. The merits of water suppression by freeze drying or irradiation, and spectral simplification by spin-echo methods, are discussed. 2. Well-resolved resonances for a range of low molecular weight metabolites such as lactate, 3-d-hydroxybutyrate, alanine, acetate, citrate, glucose, valine and formate were observed. Resonances for glutamine were observed only from freeze dried samples. Concentrations determined by n.m.r. were in reasonable agreement with those from conventional methods. 3. The n.m.r. spectra of CSF were related to the clinical conditions of the subjects. No resonances for citrate were present in spectra of CSF from subjects (three infants) with bacterial meningitis; high lactate and lowered glucose levels were observed. Strong resonances for glucose and glycine were observed for mildly diabetic subjects. Both the aromatic and the ...

Seventy patients with intracranial neoplasms were studied before receiving surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy. All tumours were characterized by reduced or absent N-acetylaspartate and increased signal from choline-containing compounds. Distinctive patterns were observed only for primitive brain neo-plasms; high-grade gliomas were differentiated from low-grade ones by higher levels of choline-containing compounds. The metabolic aspects of metastatic lesions were similar to high-grade gliomas. These results, together with the limitations of 1H-MRS and future applications are ...
Measurement of myocardial iron is key to the clinical management of patients at risk of iron-overload cardiomyopathy, which is a major killer in transfusion-dependent patients and others with errors of iron metabolism. This applies especially to the large cohort of β-thalassemia major patients, in whom iron accumulation leads to damage in the liver, heart, and endocrine organs. Myocardial iron is assessed clinically with the cardiovascular magnetic resonance relaxation parameter T2*. This study describes the calibration of cardiovascular magnetic resonance relaxation against human iron concentration and the iron distribution throughout the heart under conditions of iron overload. A strong correlation was observed between cardiovascular magnetic resonance relaxation measurements and biochemically derived tissue iron concentration in 12 postmortem human hearts from transfusion-dependent patients, leading to a clinical calibration equation of [Fe]=45.0×(T2*)−1.22, where [Fe] is measured in ...

We aimed to elucidate the effects of caloric and non-caloric sweeteners on liver lipid metabolism in rats using in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and to determine their roles in the development of liver steatosis. Wistar rats received normal chow and either normal drinking water, or solutions containing 13% (w/v) glucose, 13% fructose, or 0.4% aspartame. After 7 weeks, in vivo hepatic dietary lipid uptake and de novo lipogenesis were assessed with proton-observed, carbon-13-edited MRS combined with 13C-labeled lipids and 13C-labeled glucose, respectively. The molecular basis of alterations in hepatic liver metabolism was analyzed in detail ex vivo using immunoblotting and targeted quantitative proteomics. Both glucose and fructose feeding increased adiposity, but only fructose induced hepatic lipid accumulation. In vivo MRS showed that this was not caused by increased hepatic uptake of dietary lipids, but could be attributed to an increase in de novo lipogenesis. Stimulation of lipogenesis
PURPOSE: Phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((31)P-MRS) affords unique insight into cardiac energetics but has a low intrinsic signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in humans. Theory predicts an increased (31)P-MRS SNR at 7T, offering exciting possibilities to better investigate cardiac metabolism. We therefore compare the performance of human cardiac (31)P-MRS at 7T to 3T, and measure T1s for (31)P metabolites at 7T. METHODS: Matched (31)P-MRS data were acquired at 3T and 7T, on nine normal volunteers. A novel Look-Locker CSI acquisition and fitting approach was used to measure T1s on six normal volunteers. RESULTS: T1s in the heart at 7T were: phosphocreatine (PCr) 3.05 ± 0.41s, γ-ATP 1.82 ± 0.09s, α-ATP 1.39 ± 0.09s, β-ATP 1.02 ± 0.17s and 2,3-DPG (2,3-diphosphoglycerate) 3.05 ± 0.41s (N = 6). In the field comparison (N = 9), PCr SNR increased 2.8× at 7T relative to 3T, the Cramer-Ráo uncertainty (CRLB) in PCr concentration decreased 2.4×, the mean CRLB in PCr/ATP decreased 2.7× and the PCr
Fluorination of oxide catalysts has been shown to drastically change the catalytic properties of these materials. The catalytic activity of these materials has been studied using a wide variety of reactions. Research on fluorinated oxides has focused upon improving product yields and product selectivity and upon obtaining a better understanding of the unmodified oxide catalyst as changes due to fluorination are observed. The purpose of this investigation has been to demonstarate the utility of pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy as a direct spectroscopic probe of the local chemical environment of the hydroxyl groups and the fluorine atoms of these materials ...
Native human mammary MCF-7 adenocarcinoma cells and a subline displaying resistance to 4-hydroperoxycyclophosphamide, the chemically activated form of cyclophosphamide, were grown as multicellular spheroids or on a collagen sponge matrix and perfused for study by 31P and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The natural abundance 13C spectrum of the perfused cells exhibits well-resolved resonances due to the intracellular glutathione (GSH). The resistant cell line shows a higher intensity of the GSH 13C resonances, consistent with the increased GSH concentration determined from biochemical assays of extracts. Treatment of the resistant cell line with buthionine sulfoximine selectively diminishes the intensity of the GSH resonances in the 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum.. ...
Neutrophil-activating protein-2 (NAP-2) is a 72 residue protein demonstrating a range of proinflammatory activities. The solution structure of monomeric NAP-2 has been investigated by two-dimensional 1H-n.m.r. spectroscopy. Sequence-specific proton resonance assignments have been made and secondary structural elements have been identified on the basis of nuclear Overhauser data, coupling constants and amide hydrogen/deuteron exchange. The NAP-2 monomer consists of a triple-stranded anti-parallel beta-sheet arranged in a Greek key and a C-terminal helix (residues 59-70) and is very similar to that found in the n.m.r. solution conformation of dimeric interleukin-8 and the crystal structure of tetrameric bovine platelet factor-4. Results are discussed in terms of heparin binding and neutrophil-activation properties of NAP-2. ...
Correlation spectroscopy is one of several types of two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Other types of two-dimensional NMR include J-spectroscopy, exchange spectroscopy (EXSY), and Nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY.) Two-dimensional NMR spectra provide more information about a molecule than one-dimensional NMR spectra and are especially useful in determining the structure of a molecule, particularly for molecules that are too complicated to work with using one-dimensional NMR. The first two-dimensional experiment, COSY, was proposed by Jean Jeener, a professor at Universit Libre de Bruxelles, in 1971. This experiment was later implemented by Walter P. Aue, Enrico Bartholdi and Richard R. Ernst, who published their work in 19761. A two-dimensional NMR experiment involves a series of one-dimensional experiments. Each experiment consists of a sequence of radio frequency pulses with delay periods in between them. It is the timing, frequencies, and intensities ...
The lactose transport protein (LacS) from Streptococcus thermophilus bearing a single cysteine mutation, K373C, within the putative interhelix loop 10-11 has been overexpressed in native membranes. Cross-polarization magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) could selectively distinguish binding of (13)C-labeled substrate to just 50-60 nmol of LacS(K373C) in the native fluid membranes. Nitroxide electron spin-label at the K373C location was essentially immobile on the time scale of both conventional electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR) (|10(-8)s) and saturation-transfer ESR (|10(-3)s), under the same conditions as used in the NMR studies. The presence of the nitroxide spin-label effectively obscured the high-resolution NMR signal from bound substrate, even though (13)C-labeled substrate was shown to be within the binding center of the protein. The interhelix loop 10-11 is concluded to be in reasonably close proximity to the substrate binding site(s) of LacS (|15 A), and
Multiscale nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion of complex liquids in bulk and confinement, Progress in Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy 104, 12-55, (2018). by : J.-P. Korb [email protected]. Abstract. The nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion (NMRD) technique consists of measurement of the magnetic- field dependence of the longitudinal nuclear-spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1. Usually, the acquisition of the NMRD profiles is made using a fast field cycling (FFC) NMR technique that varies the magnetic field and explores a very large range of Larmor frequencies (10 kHz < x0/(2p) < 40 MHz). This allows extensive explorations of the fluctuations to which nuclear spin relaxation is sensitive. The FFC technique thus offers opportunities on multiple scales of both time and distance for characterizing the molecular dynam- ics and transport properties of complex liquids in bulk or embedded in confined environments. This review presents the principles, theories and ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - A study of spin-lattice relaxation rates of glucose, fructose, sucrose and cherries using high-T c SQUID-based NMR in ultralow magnetic fields. AU - Liao, Shu-Hsien. AU - Wu, Pei Che. PY - 2017/7/5. Y1 - 2017/7/5. N2 - We study the concentration dependence of spin-lattice relaxation rates, T 1 -1, of glucose, fructose, sucrose and cherries by using high-T c SQUID-based NMR at magnetic fields of ∼97 μT. The detected NMR signal, Sy (T Bp), is fitted to [1 - exp(-T Bp/T 1)] to derive T 1 -1, where Sy (T Bp) is the strength of the NMR signal, T Bp is the duration of pre-polarization and T 1 -1 is the spin-lattice relaxation rate. It was found that T 1 -1 increases as the sugar concentrations increase. The increased T 1 -1 is due to the presence of more molecules in the surroundings, which increases the spin-lattice interaction and in turn enhances T 1 -1. The T 1 -1versus degrees Brix curve provides a basis for determining unknown Brix values for cherries as well as other ...

After tuning, acquisition of scout images, shimming with the FASTERMAP procedure (Shen et al., 1997), and calibration of the decoupling power,13C NMR spectra were acquired for 10 min before and during a 160 min [2-13C] acetate infusion ...
Advanced imaging of veterinary cancer patients has evolved in recent years and modalities once limited to human medicine have now been described for diagnostic purposes in veterinary medicine (positron emission tomography/computed tomography, single-photon emission computed tomography, whole body magnetic resonance imaging). Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a non-invasive and non-ionizing technique that is well described in the human medical literature and is most frequently used to evaluate the metabolic activity of tissues with questionable malignant transformation. Differentiation of neoplastic tissue from surrounding normal tissue is dependent on variations in cellular metabolism. Choline (Cho) levels have been described as diagnostic markers for malignancy for many different tumor types in vivo and ex vivo (tissue biopsies). Monitoring of pre- and post-therapy choline metabolites in tumors has also been performed to evaluate a patients response to cancer treatment. Positive ...
Abstract : We have developed new methods enabling in vivo localization and identification of metabolites through their (1)H NMR signatures, in a drosophila. Metabolic profiles in localized regions were obtained using HR-MAS Slice Localized Spectroscopy and Chemical Shift Imaging at high magnetic fields. These methods enabled measurement of metabolite contents in anatomic regions of the fly, demonstrated by a decrease in beta-alanine signals in the thorax of flies showing muscle degeneration.. ...
High resolution magic angle spinning (HRMAS) 1H NMR spectroscopy has been used to resolve different surface and in-pore solvent environments of ethylene carbonate (EC) and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) mixtures absorbed within nanoporous carbon (NPC). Two dimensional (2D) 1H HRMAS NMR exchange measurements revealed that the inhomogeneous broadened in-pore resonances have pore-to-pore exchange rates on the millisecond timescale. Pulsed-field gradient (PFG) NMR diffusometry revealed the in-pore self-diffusion constants for both EC and DMC were reduced by up to a factor of five with respect to the diffusion in the non-absorbed solvent mixtures. ...
Citrate was increased in the majority of gliomas in adult patients. The elevated citrate in our data indicates an altered metabolic state of tumor relative to healthy brain.
Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of stereoisomers most commonly known as NMR spectroscopy of stereoisomers is a chemical analysis method that uses NMR spectroscopy to determine the absolute configuration of stereoisomers. For example, the cis or trans alkenes, R or S enantiomers, and R,R or R,S diastereomers.[1][2] In a mixture of enantiomers, these methods can help quantify the optical purity by integrating the area under the NMR peak corresponding to each stereoisomer. Accuracy of integration can be improved by inserting a chiral derivatizing agent with a nucleus other than hydrogen or carbon, then reading the heteronuclear NMR spectrum: for example fluorine-19 NMR or phosphorus-31 NMR. Moshers acid contains a -CF3 group, so if the adduct has no other fluorine atoms, the 19F NMR of a racemic mixture shows just two peaks, one for each stereoisomer. As with NMR spectroscopy in general, good resolution requires a high signal-to-noise ratio, clear separation between peaks for each ...
Natural-abundance 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of ten common nucleotides in neutral, aqueous solutions have been determined and interpreted. The spectra of two of these substances were also determined in acidic solutions, and several of the carbon chemical shifts were found to depend markedly on pH. Within the limited range of concentrations employed, there were observed no carbon chemical-shift changes which could be ascribed to base-stacking or base-pairing phenomena. ...

Two new daphnane-type diterpene esters, yuanhuahine (1) and yuanhualine (2), were isolated from the flowers of Daphne genkwa (Thymelaeaceae) along with three known diterpene esters, yuanhuacine (3), yuanhuadine (4), and yuanhuagine (5). Their structures were determined by a combination of 1D and 2D NMR experiments, including correlation spectroscopy (COSY), heteronuclear multiple quantum correlation (HMQC), heteronuclear multiple bond correlation (HMBC), and rotating frame Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (ROESY) sequences, and mass spectrometry. All the isolated compounds were tested against A549 human lung cancer cells and MRC-5 human normal lung epithelial cells. Compounds 1-5 exhibited potent anti-proliferative effects against A549 lung cancer cells with IC50 values of 12-53 nM, whereas these compounds were relatively non-cytotoxic against MRC-5 normal lung epithelial cells. © 2010 Pharmaceutical Society of Japan ...
In the search for novel chemical scaffolds leading to potential antihypertensive agents, the methanol extract of Murraya paniculata leaves was assessed for its effects on isolated rat aorta rings. The vasorelaxing effect of the chloroform fraction of the methanol plant extract was the most potent for its vasorelaxing activity on rat aorta rings contracted by 60 mM K(+) (K60). Two coumarins were isolated from the chloroform fraction: the novel kimcuongin (1) and the known murracarpin (2). Their structures were determined from spectroscopic evidences including (1)H- and (13)C-NMR, correlation spectroscopy (COSY), nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY), heteronuclear multiple bond correlation (HMBC), heteronuclear single quantum correlation (HSQC), and high resolution mass spectrometry (HR-MS). Kimcuongin and, to a lesser extent, murracarpin, showed vasorelaxing activity with IC50 values of 37.7 µM and 139.3 µM, respectively. The coumarins kimcuongin and murracarpin may thus represent a ...

N2 - Development of biological and clinical uses of in vivo 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been hampered by poor anatomic localization of spectra and poor resolution of overlapping signals within phosphomonoester and phosphodiester regions of the spectrum. We applied 1H decoupling and nuclear Overhauser enhancement to improve resolution of 31P magnetic resonance spectra accurately localized to 21 non-Hodgkins lymphomas (NHL) by using three-dimensional chemical shift imaging. All 21 spectra had large phosphomonoester signals (26% of total phosphorus) that contained high ...
sup13)C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to investigate citrate-glucose cometabolism in nongrowing cell suspensions of the wine lactic acid bacterium Leuconostoc oenos. The use of isotopically enriched substrates allowed us to identify and quantify in the end products the carbon atoms derived from each of the substrates supplied; furthermore, it was possible to differentiate between products derived from the metabolism of endogenous carbon reserves and those derived from external substrates. Citrate-sugar cometabolism was also monitored in dilute cell suspensions for comparison with the nuclear magnetic resonance results. A clear metabolic shift of the end products from glucose metabolism was observed when citrate was provided along with glucose: ethanol was replaced by acetate, and 2,3-butanediol was produced. Reciprocally, the production of lactate and 2,3-butanediol from citrate was increased in the presence of glucose. When citrate was cometabolized with glucose, a 10-fold ...
The chemical structures of isolated compounds were established on the basis of spectroscopical data as Infra-red (IR), 1D (1H, 13C, DEPT 135) and 2D-NMR experiments; Heteronuclear Multiple-Quantum Correlation (HMQC), correlation spectroscopy (COSY) and Heteronuclear Multiple Bond Correlation (HMBC) plus Mass Spectroscopy (MS) data. The 13C NMR data were assigned with the help of HMQC and DEPT 135 experiments while, the connectivitys of the molecular fragments were established by HMBC, COSY and NOESY. The analysis of the spectra and structure elucidation was also facilitated by comparison of observed and published 1H and 13C NMR data for the compounds..

Virulence of Vibrio vulnificus has been strongly associated with encapsulation and an opaque colony morphology. Capsular polysaccharide was purified from a whole-cell, phosphate-buffered saline-extracted preparation of the opaque, virulent phase of V. vulnificus M06-24 (M06-24/O) by dialysis, centrifugation, enzymatic digestion, and phenol-chloroform extraction. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic analysis of the purified polysaccharide showed that the polymer was composed of a repeating structure with four sugar residues per repeating subunit: three residues of 2-acetamido-2,6-dideoxyhexopyranose in the alpha-gluco configuration (QuiNAc) and an additional residue of 2-acetamido hexouronate in the alpha-galactopyranose configuration (GalNAcA). The complete carbohydrate structure of the polysaccharide was determined by heteronuclear nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography. The 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectra were completely ...
High-field proton NMR spectroscopic analysis of urine and plasma has been employed to study the biochemical effects and nephrotoxic action of an intramuscular dose of auranofin in rats. Auranofin induced a characteristic profile of proximal tubular damage as evidenced by aminoaciduria, lactic aciduria and increased urinary acetate concentrations. In addition, ethanol was detectable in both urine and plasma obtained from auranofin-treated rats. Auranofin-mediated elevations in the plasma and urine concentrations of 3-D-hydroxybutyrate indicated an increased utilisation of fats for fuel in rats treated with this novel therapeutic agent.. ...
Group IVA cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2α) plays an important role in tumorigenesis and angiogenesis. It is overexpressed in basal-like breast cancer (BLBC), which is aggressive and usually triple-negative, making it unresponsive to current targeted therapies. Here, we evaluated the anti-angiogenic effects of a specific cPLA2α inhibitor, AVX235, in a patient-derived triple-negative BLBC model. Mice bearing orthotopic xenografts received i.p. injections of AVX235 or DMSO vehicle daily for 1 week and then every other day for up to 19 days. Six treated and six control mice were terminated after 2 days of treatment, and the tumors excised for high resolution magic angle spinning magnetic resonance spectroscopy (HR MAS MRS) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) enzyme immunoassay (EIA) analysis. A 1-week imaging study was performed on a separate cohort of mice. Longitudinal dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE)-MRI was performed before, after 4 days, and after 1 week of treatment. The mice were then perfused with a
The highly interdisciplinary study of molecular magnetism spans a wide array of topics, ranging from spintronics and quantum computing to enzyme function and MRI contrast agents. At the core of all these fields is the study of materials whose properties can be controlled through the rational design of molecules. The chemical tailoring of molecular magnetic properties can only be achieved by understanding the relationship between the physical and electronic structures. In this dissertation, the interplay between structure and physical properties is probed using a variety of magnetic resonance techniques. In Chapter 1, we give a succinct overview of the various methods utilized in this dissertation. We first describe the experimental methods including electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), 57Fe nuclear gamma resonance (Mössbauer) spectroscopy, electron double resonance detected nuclear magnetic resonance (ELDOR-NMR), and Fourier transform far-infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. In addition to the ...

N2 - Acireductone dioxygenase (ARD) is a 179-residue enzyme containing a paramagnetic Ni+2 ion in the active site. Because of electron-nuclear spin interactions, 1H resonances within ∼9 Å of the Ni+2 are broadened beyond detection. For this reason, 1H-detected multidimensional NMR experiments are not suitable for structural characterization of the active site of ARD, and no isostructural diamagnetic homologue is available. Rapid recycle two-dimensional direct 13C detection NMR methods previously allowed correlation of carbonyl (13C′) carbons with directly bonded 13Cα and 15N spins in ARD (Kostic, M.; Pochapsky, S.

Abstract: We present two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy protocols based on nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond as efficient quantum sensors of protein structure. Continuous microwave driving fields are used to achieve Hartmann-Hahn resonances between NV spin sensor and proximate nuclei for selective control of nuclear spins and measurement of their polarization. Our protocols take advantage of the strong coupling between the NV sensor and the nuclei, thus facilitating coherence control of nuclear spins and relax the requirement of nuclear spin polarization. We dramatically reduce the experimental effort by employing a singular value thresholding matrix completion algorithm from signal processing to regain the resolution of protein structure based on sub-sampled data from NV based single molecule nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. As an illustration, we demonstrate the power of this approach by identifying the nitrogen-Hydrogen interaction peak in an Alanine ...

Deuterium isotope effects on 13C-NMR chemical shifts are investigated in a series of 10-hydroxybenzo[h]quinolines (HBQs) The OH proton is deuteriated. The isotope effects on 13C chemical shifts in these hydrogen bonded systems are rather unusual. The formal four-bond effects are found to be negative, indicating transmission via the hydrogen bond. In addition unusual long-range effects are seen. Structures, NMR chemical shifts and changes in nuclear shieldings upon deuteriation are calculated using DFT methods. Two-bond deuterium isotope effects on 13C chemical shifts are correlated with calculated OH stretching frequencies. Isotope effects on chemical shifts are calculated for systems with OH exchanged by OD. Hydrogen bond potentials are discussed. New and more soluble nitro derivatives are synthesized ...
13C and 1H NMR characterization of the sodium perchlorafe complex of a new tetraoxatetraaza lipophilic cage ligand (1) derived from 1,7-dioxa-4,10-diazacyclododecane has been performed. 1H homonuclear correlated and 1H J-resolved two-dimensional experiments allowed the recognition of resonances due to different types of OCH2CH2N fragments, and of those of the hydrogens of the bridging chains. 13C resonances have been assigned on the basis of a 13C1H heteronuclear correlated two-dimensional experiment, together with the 13C NMR spectra of the synthetic precursors of 1. 13C spin-lattice relaxation times and NOE measurements established that the unique relaxation mechanism is dipole-dipole; the calculated rotational correlation times indicated that molecular reorientation is isotropic. 13C spectra and relaxation times obtained in different solvents showed that specific solute-solvent interactions are absent.. ...
A new polymorphic form of ciprofloxacin saccharinate (CIP-SAC II) is presented, and compared with CIP-SAC I, a different polymorph which we had previously reported. The characterization techniques used were single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry analysis and infrared and (13)C solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The results obtained from these techniques are consistent. Differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis showed that the reaction between the precursors is completed and the crystalline forms of both salts obtained (I and II) are highly pure. Infrared spectroscopy gave clear evidence of a salt formation. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy would indicate some degree of qualitative similarity in the intermolecular interaction scheme in both polymorphs, while thermal analysis data might indicate a difference in quantitative terms. A thorough single crystal structure determination ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - A Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Study of Hydrogen Bonding in Tris(2-N-methylaminoethyl) Borate and Similar Compounds. AU - Meek, Devon W.. AU - Springer, Charles S.. PY - 1966/3. Y1 - 1966/3. N2 - Tris(2-aminoethyl) borate, B(OCH2CH2NH2)3, and the analogous N-methylamino and N,N-dimethylamino compounds have been prepared by the transesterification of methyl borate with the appropriate 2-aminoethanol. The nuclear magnetic resonance spectra show that extensive association of the terminal amino groups occurs in pure tris(N-methylaminoethyl) borate and that this association can be broken apart by heating to 160° or by dissolution in polar organic solvents such as triethylamine or acetonitrile. In order to determine whether the association results from hydrogen bonding or internal B-N coordination, several model systems have been investigated. The spectra of NH2C5H5-BF3, piperidine-BF3, and (C6H5)BO-CH2CH2NH2 in acetonitrile contain very complicated NCH2 peaks and broad NH peaks which ...

Several relaxation mechanisms are examined to explain the strong increases of spin-lattice relaxation toward high concentrations. The use of both 6Li and 7Li isotopes is helpful to identify the quadrupolar contribution to the relaxation rate. In particular, it is found that the quadrupolar interaction constitutes the strongest contribution above a concentration of ∼10 molal. The next-strongest contribution arises from interactions that scale with the ...
Bark samples isolated from brown coal deposits in Victoria, Australia, and buried wood from Rhizophora mangle have been studies by high-resolution solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques. Dipolar dephasing 13C NMR appears to be a useful method of detecting the presence of tannins in geochemical samples including barks, buried woods, peats and leaf litter. It is shown that tannins are selectively preserved in bark during coalification to the brown coal stage. ?? 1988....

This chelate displayed a paraCEST signal associated with the highly shifted amide proton signal at approximately −100 ppm that was beyond the frequency of macromolecule magnetization transfer. This signal also displayed high temperature dependence (0.57 ppm °C−1) in the range of 35-42 °C and at neutral pH. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. ...
Serogroup X Neisseria meningitidis (MenX) has recently emerged as a cause of localized disease outbreaks in sub-Saharan Africa. In order to prepare for vaccine development, MenX polysaccharide (MenX PS) was purified by standard methods and analyzed for identity and structure by NMR spectroscopy. This study presents the first full assignment of the structure of the MenX PS using (13)C, (1)H and (31)P NMR spectroscopy and total correlation spectroscopy (TOCSY) and (1)H-(13)C heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC). Molecular size distribution analysis using HPLC-SEC with multi-angle laser light scattering (MALLS) found the single peak of MenX PS to have a weight-average molar mass of 247,000g/mol, slightly higher than a reference preparation of purified serogroup C meningococcal polysaccharide. MenX PS tended to be more thermostable than serogroup A PS. A method for the quantification of MenX PS was developed by use of high performance anion exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection
BACKGROUND: In vivo hepatic phosphorus-31 magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P MRS) provides biochemical information about phosphorus metabolism. AIM: To assess 31P MRS as a prognostic marker in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) in relation to the current clinical prognostic models. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Twenty three patients with PBC of varying functional severity and 16 matched healthy volunteers were studied using in vivo 31P MRS. Spectra were acquired using a 1.5 T spectroscopy system. Peak area ratios of phosphomonoesters (PME), inorganic phosphate (Pi), and phosphodiesters (PDE) and nucleotide triphosphate (NTP) were calculated. Pugh score, Christensen prognostic index, and R value according to the Mayo model were calculated from the clinical data. RESULTS: The PME/NTP, Pi/NTP, PME/PDE, and PME/Pi ratios and the PME signal height ratio (SHR) were significantly higher, while the PDE/NTP and PDE/SHR were significantly lower in PBC patients compared with healthy volunteers (p , ...
There is continuing interest in understanding how fuel, fuel additives, and lubricants contribute to combustion chamber deposit (CCD) weights and compositions in order to better anticipate the impact of CCD on exhaust emissions and engine performance. For this reason, we have characterized a range of CCDs from bench engines and vehicles using solid state 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). Differences in CCD composition and structure were related to the fuel, fuel additives, and engine oil used in the test. CCDs derived from most fuels run in modern engines are predominantly organic. The fraction of aromatic carbon ranges between 24 and 74% depending on fuels and test conditions over a test length of 1,000 to 20,000 miles. These aromatic carbons exist in predominantly 1 and 2 ring structures that are independent of the amount of aromatic carbon in the CCD. These 1 and 2 ring aromatic carbon units are even present in CCD produced from ...
On MR imaging, the white matter lesions, which could be seen in the subacute stage, but not in the acute or chronic stage, might represent edema due to postinfectious neuroallergic phenomena. Immunohistochemical detection of HSV antigen is depicted in B. The sparse amount of literature on proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy in patients with herpes simplex type 1 encephalitis is discussed. Here is MRI Brain with single voxel MRI Spectroscopy. MR spectra of bilateral temporal lobes were acquired by the single voxel method using 1.5T unit. We performed MR imaging and 1H MR spectroscopy of the brain in patients with different types of primary mitochondrial diseases to investigate the role of 1H MR spectroscopy in the clinical evaluation of these disorders. Theyre usually red in colour and will develop a white head.. Although the clinical picture has been well established for some time, clinical diagnosis is attained in only 20% of the cases. Although these conditions are similar with regard to ...
Carr−Purcell−Meiboom−Gill relaxation dispersion NMR spectroscopy has evolved into a powerful approach for the study of low populated, invisible conformations of biological molecules. One of the powerful features of the experiment is that chemical shift differences between the exchanging conformers can be obtained, providing structural information about invisible excited states. Through the development of new labeling approaches and NMR experiments it is now possible to measure backbone 13Cα and 13CO relaxation dispersion profiles in proteins without complications from 13C−13C couplings. Such measurements are presented here, along with those that probe exchange using 15N and 1HN nuclei. A key experimental design has been the choice of an exchanging system where excited-state chemical shifts were known from independent measurement. Thus it is possible to evaluate quantitatively the accuracy of chemical shift differences obtained in dispersion experiments and to establish that in general ...
Phosphorus-31 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy can determine the status of high energy phosphates in vivo. However, its application to human cardiac studies requires precise spatial localization without significant contamination from other tissues. Using image-selected in-vivo spectroscopy (ISIS), a technique that allows three-dimensional localization of the volume of interest, 12 subjects were studied to determine the feasibility and reproducibility of phosphorus-31 spectroscopy of the human heart. Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging was performed using a commercial 1.5 tesla system to define the volume of interest.. Phosphorus-31 spectra were obtained from the septum and anteroapical region of the left ventricle in 10 studies. Relative peak heights and areas were determined for high energy phosphates. The mean phosphocreatine to adenosine triphosphate ratio was 1.33 ± 0.19 by height analysis and 1.23 ± 0.27 by area analysis. Duplicate measurements in four subjects showed a ...
A pulsed EPR saturation-recovery method has been used to measure spin-lattice relaxation times (T 1) for aminoxyl spin labels in cardiolipin bilayers, with and without cytochrome c. The relaxation time for each spin label was determined at various positions in the bilayer, which included the bilayer surface and three positions within the hydrophobia interior in the membrane, as well as a position close to the glycerol backbone of phospholipids in the bilayer. A dynamic profile for the hydrocarbon chains in bilayers was found in agreement with results from other techniques. On addition of cytochrome c to cardiolipin bilayers, changes in the spin-lattice relaxation time and order parameter were observed around the unsaturated region in the cardiolipin acyl chains. Supported by complementary lineshape analysis, these effects were interpreted as changes in the molecular dynamics around the double bonds in the acyl chains of cardiolipin bilayers, induced upon the binding of cytochrome
Routine measurement of adipose tissue composition by repeated biopsy invokes both ethical and practical difficulties, limiting long-term serial studies of adipose tissue composition. In vivo13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has been applied as a non-invasive alternative, although it has not as yet been fully validated. In this study we critically assess in vivo13C NMR spectroscopy and gas-liquid chromatography for the analysis of adipose tissue composition. The advantages and drawbacks of both methods are discussed, in particular to the study of adipose tissue during dietary manipulation and development. Our results show that the NMR measurements of adipose tissue composition are highly reproducible, but they can significantly differ from those obtained by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) from the same volunteer. We show that the discrepancy between these two techniques arises from inherent limitations of both 13C NMR spectroscopy and GLC. Finally, we show that 13C NMR ...
We studied the in vivo cerebral metabolites and documented the presence of MECP2 gene mutations in six Chinese females with Rett syndrome. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy spectra from the frontal lobe (gray and white matter) and deep gray nuclei (basal ganglia and thalamus) of either side were obtained. N-acetylaspartate/total creatine, choline/total creatine, and N-acetylaspartate/choline ratios were analyzed and compared with six healthy age-matched female control subjects. MECP2 gene mutation was identified in four patients; one patient had polymorphism and one patient did not have gene mutation. N-acetylaspartate/total creatine of the frontal lobe of all patients (mean: 2.63, S.D. = 0.33) was decreased compared with age-matched control subjects (mean: 3.15, S.D. = 0.27), and the difference was statistically significant (P = 0.017) with a mean difference of 0.52 (95% CI = 0.68-0.36). The difference in all other metabolite ratios in the frontal lobe and deep gray nuclei were not statistically ...

Synthesis of Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines: Triflic Anhydride-Mediated Annulation of 2H … 5.1 Spectrometry in Organic Chemistry 5-4 Types of Spectrometry (5.1A) 5-5 Mass Spectrometry (MS) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometry (NMR) Infrared Spectrometry (IR) Ultraviolet-Visible Spectrometry (UV-Vis) 5.2 Mass Spectrometry (MS) 5-6 Formation of Molecular and Fragment Ions (5.2A) 5-6 Molecular Ion In the 1,1-dichloroethane example all the coupling constants are 6.0 Hz, as illustrated by clicking on the spectrum. This is a Carbon 13 nmr then Proton nmr. A di-substituted benzene will have 4 protons in the AR region. First, spectra taken in benzene-d6 generally show small upfield shifts of most C-H signals, but in the case of acetone this shift is about five times larger than normal. Since no two magnets will have exactly the same field, resonance frequencies will vary accordingly and an alternative method for characterizing and specifying the location of nmr signals is needed. The isomeric pairs ...
In the Lake Champlain Basin, phosphorus (P) loading from streambank erosion and cropland are both important P sources, and a better understanding of the factors affecting riparian P loss is needed to help prioritize riparian restoration efforts. We utilized solution phosphorus-31 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and an enzyme hydrolysis method to characterize P and assess bioavailability in 14 commonly mapped riparian soils from northwestern Vermont. Surface horizons were sampled from distinct series at two riparian restoration sites to capture a range of soil properties. Samples were extracted with sodium hydroxide-ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid (NaOH-EDTA) and analyzed by solution 31P NMR to speciate and quantify P compounds, and commercially available phosphatase enzymes were used to fractionate water-extractable molybdate unreactive P (MUP) into labile orthophosphate monoesters and orthophosphate diesters. Phosphorus extracted by NaOH-EDTA ranged from 74 to 510 mg P kg-1 ...

In vivo nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a non-invasive technique that can be used to investigate the metabolic response of plant tissues to anoxia. It has been used extensively in studies aimed at assessing the contribution of particular pathways to energy production and pH control during oxygen deprivation; and it is also a powerful method for investigating the origin and metabolic significance of the intracellular pH changes that occur in anoxic tissues. Recent NMR investigations of plant anaerobiosis are reviewed and it is concluded: (a) that the NMR approach provides a detailed description of the time-dependent interaction between some of the key pathways of carbon and nitrogen metabolism under anoxia; and (b) that it can provide strong evidence for the direct effect of pH on metabolism, and for the biochemical pH-stat model of the anoxic response. The significance of the NMR contribution to the understanding of plant anaerobiosis is discussed, and the possibility that the ...
The drive to develop better electrochemical energy storage devices requires the development of not only new materials, but also better understanding of the underpinning chemical and dynamical processes within such devices during operation, for which new analytical techniques are required. Currently, there are few techniques that can probe local composition and transport in the electrolyte during battery operation. In this paper, we report a novel application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for probing electrochemical processes in a model electrochemical cell. Using MRI, the transport and zinc and oxygen electrochemistry in an alkaline electrolyte, typical of that found in zinc-air batteries, are investigated. Magnetic resonance relaxation maps of the electrolyte are used to visualize the chemical composition and electrochemical processes occurring during discharge in this model metal-air battery. Such experiments will be useful in the development of new energy storage/conversion devices, as ...
Compositional and structural changes within an electrolyte solution above an electrochemically active metal surface have been visualised using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the first time. In these proof-of-concept experiments, zinc metal was galvanically corroded in a saturated lithium chloride solution. Magnetic resonance relaxation maps were taken during the corrosion process and spatial variations in both T1 and T2 relaxation times were observed to change with time. These changes were attributed to changes in the speciation of zinc ions in the electrolyte ...
