13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy of Native and Recombined Lipoproteins

31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of native and recombined lipoproteins.

Native and recombined lipoproteins have been studied by (31)P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Very low-, low-, and high-density lipoproteins exhibited characteristic spectra. The main resonances were assigned to phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin. Relaxation times for these phospholipids were separately measured in low-density lipoproteins and high-density lipoproteins. The effect o...

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy: 13C spectra of unsubstituted inositols.

The chemical shifts of (13)C in natural abundance have been obtained from nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of scyllo-, myo-, chiro-, and epi-inositols at 15.1 MHz. A set of empirical substitutent parameters were derived and shown to be moderately successful in correlating the (13)C resonance-line positions for these substances. The substituent parameters conform generally to the idea that ste...

Quantification of plasma lipoproteins by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

A new analytical procedure for quantifying plasma lipoproteins by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has been developed that potentially offers significant advantages over existing clinical methods used for assessing risk of coronary heart disease. Analysis of a single spectrum of a nonfasting plasma sample, acquired simply and rapidly at moderate magnetic field strength (250 ...

Natural abundance 13C nuclear magnetic resonance studies of human plasma high density lipoproteins.

High resolution proton-decoupled natural abundance ‘:‘C NMR spectra (at 15.18 MHz) of human plasma high density lipoproteins were recorded at 29”C, Yfi”C, and 43°C. Carbon 5 of unesterified cholesterol and the corresponding carbon of cholesteryl esters yield narrow, well resolved resonances. Values of nuclear Overhauser enhancements and integrated intensities for C-5 of free and esterified chol...
