چکیده
Perdeuterated poly(acrylonitrile) is introduced as a practically proton-free alignment medium for the measurement of anisotropic NMR parameters; its use in conventional glass tubes and in a Kalrez® 8002 UP-based stretching device with resulting spectra of astonishing quality are demonstrated.

An Alignment Medium for Measuring Residual Dipolar Couplings in Pure DMSO: Liquid Crystals from Graphene Oxide Grafted with Polymer Brushes.
Residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) have attracted attention in light of their great impact on the structural elucidation of organic molecules. However, the effectiveness of RDC measurements is limited by the shortage of alignment media compatible with widely used organic solvents, such as DMSO. Herein, we present the first liquid crystal (LC) based alignment medium that is compatible with pure D...

Perdeuterated poly(styrene) is introduced as an almost artefact-free and arbitrarily scalable alignment medium for measuring residual dipolar couplings and other anisotropic NMR parameters; the spectral quality achievable in this new medium is demonstrated for HSQC spectra leading to the conformational analysis of staurosporine and homonuclear TOCSY-type experiments.

A new DMSO-compatible aligning gel based on cross-linked poly(2-hydroxylethyl methacrylate) (poly-HEMA) has been developed. Due to a significant difference in bulk magnetic susceptibility between the DMSO inside and outside the gel, it is possible to simultaneously collect isotropic and anisotropic NMR data, such as residual dipolar couplings (RDC), in the same NMR tube. RDC-assisted structural...
متن کاملApplications for Measuring Scalar and Residual Dipolar Couplings in Proteins
Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic structure determination of proteins has been under rapid development during the last decade. The size limitation impeding structural studies of biological macromolecules in solution has increased from 10 kDa to 30 kDa thanks to exploitation of 15N/13C enrichment. Perdeuteration of non-exchangeable protons has pushed this limit even further, allowing back...

Residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) are of great interest for the structure determination of biomacromolecules as well as of organic molecules like synthetic or natural products. Their accurate measurement requires a proper degree of alignment for the molecule under investigation. As has been shown recently, a stretching device based on a flexible silicone rubber tube provides an easy, rapid, and...
