Simple data acquisition system for proton-enhanced nuclear induction spectroscopy

Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

High-resolution proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of cytochrome.

In cytochrome c the axial positions of the heme iron are occupied by two amino acid residues, one of which is known from X-ray studies to be histidyl. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy provides strong evidence that the sixth ligand is a methionyl residue in both the ferric and ferrous oxidation states. It is further shown that in cyanoferricytochrome c cyanide ion replaces methionyl in th...

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 ...

Proton-enhanced 13C nuclear magnetic resonance of lipids and biomembranes.

A recently developed nuclear double resonance technique which permits sensitive detection, together with high resolution, of rare spins in solids or other dipolar-coupled nuclear systems [Pines, Gibby, and Waugh (1973) J. Chem. Phys. 59, 569] has been applied to the study of natural abundance (13)C-nuclear magnetic resonance in lipid mesophases and of selectively labeled carbon sites in bacteri...

Data acquisition system for chemical kinetic studies

A microcomputer-interfaced data acquisition system for chemical kinetics (interfacing with laboratory analogue instruments) has been developed. Analogue signals from instruments used in kinetics experiments are amplifed by a wide-range adjustable high-gain operational amplifier and smoothed by an op-based filter, and then digitized at rates of up to 10(4) samples per channel by an ADC 0816 digi...
