Solid State NMR Probe Design
The majority of solids NMR experiments today are driven by biological applications in rigid macromolecules, where even the most advanced liquids methods are limited by the spectral resolution they can achieve. Obtaining detailed structural information from NMR of solid samples is often more technically demanding than for liquids because of the absence of molecular tumbling in solids to average ...
متن کاملZinc-binding structure of a catalytic amyloid from solid-state NMR.
Throughout biology, amyloids are key structures in both functional proteins and the end product of pathologic protein misfolding. Amyloids might also represent an early precursor in the evolution of life because of their small molecular size and their ability to self-purify and catalyze chemical reactions. They also provide attractive backbones for advanced materials. When β-strands of an amylo...
متن کاملBiological membrane structure by solid-state NMR.
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and particularly solid-state NMR spectroscopy, is a method of choice to study the structure and dynamics of both the lipid and the protein components of model and biological membranes. Different approaches have been developed to study these systems in which the restricted molecular motions result in broad NMR spectra. This contribution will first p...
متن کامل3D structure of amyloid protofilaments of beta2-microglobulin fragment probed by solid-state NMR.
Understanding the structure and formation of amyloid fibrils, the filamentous aggregates of proteins and peptides, is crucial in preventing diseases caused by their deposition and, moreover, for obtaining further insight into the mechanism of protein folding and misfolding. We have combined solid-state NMR, x-ray fiber diffraction, and atomic force microscopy to reveal the 3D structure of amylo...
متن کامل59Co solid-state NMR as a new probe for elucidating metal binding in polynucleotides.
Although magnesium fulfills several essential biochemical roles, direct studies on this ion are complicated by its unfavorable spectroscopic characteristics. This contribution explores the possibility of monitoring magnesium-nucleic acid binding via a combination of [Co(NH3)6]3+ as surrogate for [Mg(H2O)6]2+, and of high-resolution solid-state 59Co NMR as a spectroscopic probe. Such strategy qu...
