Chemical shift prediction plays an important role in the determination or validation of crystal structures with solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. One of the fundamental theoretical challenges lies in discriminating variations in chemical shifts resulting from different crystallographic environments. Fragment-based electronic structure methods provide an alternative to t...

A single-crystal X-ray diffraction structure of a 1:1 cocrystal of two fungicides, namely dithianon (DI) and pyrimethanil (PM), is reported [systematic name: 5,10-dioxo-5H,10H-naphtho[2,3-b][1,4]dithiine-2,3-dicarbonitrile-4,6-dimethyl-N-phenylpyrimidin-2-amine (1/1), C14H4N2O2S2·C12H13N2]. Following an NMR crystallography approach, experimental solid-state magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectr...

The secondary structure of human recombinant interleukin-4 (IL-4) has been investigated by three-dimensional (3D) 15N- and 13C-edited nuclear Overhauser (NOE) spectroscopy on the basis of the 1H, 15N, and 13C assignments presented in the preceding paper [Powers, R., Garrett, D. S., March, C. J., Frieden, E. A., Gronenborn, A. M., & Clore, G. M. (1992) Biochemistry (preceding paper in this issue...

The fast Padé transform (FPT) is a method of spectral analysis that can be used to reconstruct nuclear magnetic resonance spectra from truncated free induction decay signals with superior robustness and spectral resolution compared with conventional Fourier analysis. The aim of this study is to show the utility of FPT in reducing of the scan time required for hyperpolarized 13C chemical shift i...

A technique for amplifying the apparent magnitudes of 13C-1H and 15N-1H dipolar interactions in magic-angle spinning experiments is described. By inserting rotor-synchronized 180 degrees pulses in the evolution period of a 2D dipolar-chemical shift experiment, heteronuclear dipolar couplings are doubled or quadrupled relative to the spinning speed. The increased number of dipolar sidebands is d...
