Reaction of LSi-SiL (1) (L = PhC(NtBu)(2)) with diphenyl alkyne gave the first example of a room temperature stable 1,4-disilabenzene. The compound was characterized by means of single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. NICS (nucleus independent chemical shift) calculations showed that the compound has some aromatic character.

Current strategies for determining the structures of membrane proteins in lipid environments by NMR spectroscopy rely on the anisotropy of nuclear spin interactions, which are experimentally accessible through experiments performed on weakly and completely aligned samples. Importantly, the anisotropy of nuclear spin interactions results in a mapping of structure to the resonance frequencies and...

The (31)P-nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shift of phosphatidic acid in a membrane is sensitive to the lipid head group packing and can report qualitatively on membrane lateral compression near the aqueous interface. We have used high-resolution (31)P-nuclear magnetic resonance to evaluate the lateral compression on each side of asymmetrical lipid vesicles. When monooleoylphosphatidylcholin...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Applications for noninvasive biologic temperature monitoring are widespread in biomedicine and of particular interest in the context of brain temperature regulation, where traditionally costly and invasive monitoring schemes limit their applicability in many settings. Brain thermal regulation, therefore, remains controversial, motivating the development of noninvasive app...

Erdős, Hajnal and Szemerédi proved that any subset $G$ of vertices a shift graph $\text{Sh}_{n}^{k}$ has the property independence number subgraph induced by satisfies $\alpha(\text{Sh}_{n}^{k}[G])\geq \left(\frac{1}{2}-\varepsilon\right)|G|$, where $\varepsilon\to 0$ as $k\to \infty$. In this note we prove for $k=2$ $n \to \infty$ there are graphs $G\subseteq \binom{[n]}{2}$ with $\alpha(\text...

Chemical shifts provide not only peak identities for analyzing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data, but also an important source of conformational information for studying protein structures. Current structural studies requiring H(α) chemical shifts suffer from the following limitations. (1) For large proteins, the H(α) chemical shifts can be difficult to assign using conventional NMR triple-...

Knowledge of (13)C chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) tensors in nucleotide bases is important for interpretation of NMR relaxation data in terms of local dynamic properties of nucleic acids and for analysis of residual chemical shift anisotropy (RCSA) resulting from weak alignment. CSA tensors for protonated nucleic acid base carbons have been derived from measurements on a uniformly (13)C-enrich...

the nmr spectra of azo dyes, 5-arylazobarbituric (5a-g), 5-arylazo-1,3-dimethylbarbituric(6a-g) and 5-arylazothiobarbituric acids (7a-g) were studied in dmso-d6 in differentconcentrations. an intramolecular hydrogen bond was observed and indicating that thehydrazone forms is mostly predominant. the peak of the hydrazone proton was severelybroadened and its chemical shift appeared at down field ...
