Investigation of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks using 13C and 15N solid-state NMR spectroscopy.
Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are a subclass of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with extended three-dimensional networks of transition metal nodes (bridged by rigid imidazolate linkers), with potential applications in gas storage and separation, sensing and controlled delivery of drug molecules. Here, we investigate the use of 13C and 15N solid-state NMR spectroscopy to characterise th...
متن کاملStructure, topology, and dynamics of membrane peptides and proteins from solid-state NMR spectroscopy.
The high-resolution structure of membrane proteins is notoriously difficult to determine due to the hydrophobic nature of the protein-membrane complexes. Solid-state NMR spectroscopy is a unique and powerful atomic-resolution probe of the structure and dynamics of these important biological molecules. A number of new solid-state NMR methods for determining the depth of insertion, orientation, o...
متن کاملSolid-State NMR Spectroscopy
A number of arylamides have been synthesized and found to exhibit potent antimicrobial activities against a broad spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria while exhibiting low toxicity toward eukaryotic cells. These facially amphiphilic foldamers have a relatively rigid intramolecular hydrogen-bonded arylamide as a framework, which places trifluormethyl versus positively charged ami...
متن کاملBolalipid membrane structure revealed by solid-state 2H NMR spectroscopy.
Membranes made from three specifically deuterium-labeled ether-linked bolalipids, [1',1',20',20'-2H4]C20BAS-PC, [2',2',19',19'-2H4]C20BAS-PC, or [10',11'-2H2]C20BAS-PC, were analyzed by 2H NMR spectroscopy. Unlike more common monopolar, ester-linked phospholipids, C20BAS-PC exhibits a high degree of orientational order throughout the membrane and the sn-1 chain of the lipid initially penetrates...
متن کاملAfterglow Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy.
Biomolecular solid-state NMR experiments have traditionally been collected through detection of 13C or 15N nuclei. Since these nuclei have relatively low sensitivity stemming from their smaller gyromagnetic ratios relative to 1H, the time required to collect multi-dimensional datasets serves as a limitation to resonance assignment and structure determination. One improvement in the field has be...
