Solid-state H magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR was used to investigate local proton environments in anhydrous [UO2(OH)2] (α-UOH) and hydrated uranyl hydroxide [(UO2)4O(OH)6·5H2O (metaschoepite). For the metaschoepite material, proton resonances of the μ2-OH hydroxyl and interlayer waters were resolved, with twodimensional (2D) double-quantum (DQ) H−H NMR correlation experiments revealing strong d...

Proton-observed carbon-edited (POCE) NMR spectroscopy is commonly used to measure 13C labeling with higher sensitivity compared to direct 13C NMR spectroscopy, at the expense of spectral resolution. For weakly coupled first-order spin systems, the multiplet signal at a specific proton chemical shift in POCE spectra directly reflects 13C enrichment of the carbon attached to this proton. The pres...

A bis(benzoxazole) derivative with metal-chelating ligand (DPA), Zinhbo-1, exhibits a large fluorescence turn-on effect (up to 10-fold) upon zinc-binding. The metal chelation enables excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT), giving an additional emission band in the near-IR region (approximately 710 nm) with a large Stokes shift (ca. 230 nm).

The proton structure effects, including finite size, polarizability and self– energy is considered and their influence on energy levels of muonic hydrogen is recalculated. A new theoretical prediction for the Lamb shift is presented together with improved values of all known QED contributions.

Proton structure effects in hydrogenic bound states are analyzed using nonrelativistic QED effective field theory. Implications for the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen are discussed. Model-dependent assumptions in previous analyses are isolated, and sensitivity to poorly constrained hadronic structure in the two-photon exchange contribution is identified.

The cascade rearrangement of chiral enediynes 1c-e, involving successively 1,3-proton shift, Saito-Myers cyclization, 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer, and intramolecular coupling of the resulting biradical, proceeded at 80 °C to form tri- and tetracyclic heterocycles possessing a quaternary stereogenic center with a very high level of memory of chirality.

Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectra have been taken of Delta(8)- and Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol. The absorptions have been assigned to specific carbons with the aid of off-resonance and selective proton-decoupling experiments, as well as by chemical-shift comparison with model compounds.

The positions of protons are not available in most high-resolution structural data of biomolecules, thus the identity of proton storage sites in biomolecules that transport proton is generally difficult to determine unambiguously. Using combined quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical computations, we demonstrate that a pair of conserved glutamate residues (Glu 194/204) bonded by a delocalized ...

introduction proton therapy is used to treat malignant tumors such as melanoma inside the eye. proton particles are adjusted according to various parameters such as tumor size and position and patient’s distance from the proton source. the purpose of this study was to assess absorbed doses in eyes and various tumors found in the area of sclera and choroid and the adjacent tissues in radiotherap...
