A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) probe and spectrometer capable of investigating full intact wine bottles is described and used to study a series of Cabernet Sauvignons with high resolution 1H NMR spectroscopy. Selected examples of full bottle 13C NMR spectra are also provided. The application of this full bottle NMR method to the measurement of acetic acid content, the detection of complex s...

A generalized 2D correlation NMR (GEN2D-NMR) scheme capable of substantially reducing the experimental time for two-dimensional correlation NMR experiments is described. The experimental time used in GEN2D-NMR is shortened to less than one-tenth of that required in traditional double Fourier transform 2D-NMR (FT2D-NMR) for a 13C-13C spin diffusion experiment for Nephila edulis spider threads. E...

Elucidation of high-resolution protein structures by NMR spectroscopy requires a large number of distance constraints that are derived from nuclear Overhauser effects between protons (NOEs). Due to the high level of spectral overlap encountered in 2D NMR spectra of proteins, the measurement of high quality distance constraints requires higher dimensional NMR experiments. Although four-dimension...

The implementation of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) at the nanoscale is a major challenge, as the resolution of conventional methods is limited to mesoscopic scales. Approaches based on quantum spin probes, such as the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centre in diamond, have achieved nano-NMR under ambient conditions. However, the measurement protocols require application of complex microwave pulse seq...

A suite of reduced-dimensionality (13)C,(15)N,(1)H-triple-resonance NMR experiments is presented for rapid and complete protein resonance assignment. Even when using short measurement times, these experiments allow one to retain the high spectral resolution required for efficient automated analysis. "Sampling limited" and "sensitivity limited" data collection regimes are defined, respectively, ...

Lipoprotein profiling of human blood by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a rapid and promising approach to monitor health and disease states in medicine and nutrition. However, lack of standardization of measurement protocols has prevented the use of NMR-based lipoprotein profiling in metastudies. In this study, a standardized NMR measurement protocol was applied in a ring te...

BACKGROUND The measurement of triglyceride (TG)-rich particles after an oral fat challenge has been used to provide a measure of risk for coronary artery disease independent of the fasting plasma triglyceride concentration. The analytical "gold standard" for measuring TG-rich lipoproteins uses density gradient ultracentrifugation; however, this technique is labor-intensive. Because of our need ...

Fluorine-19 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies of cells and perfused organs loaded with fluorinated ion chelators represent a new approach to determining cytosolic free calcium levels in situ. The molecular basis for this approach and the relative advantages and disadvantages of the NMR technique are discussed in this paper. Results obtained on perfused normoxic and ischemic rat hearts ar...

Pulsed NMR is the most convenient and powerful technique for measuring diffusion, when it is applicable. Hahn (1) in a seminal paper laid the foundations of the technique. He showed that for a nuclear spin system that obeyed the Bloch equations (taking small liberties with exact details), a 9O.y T 180, RF pulse sequence produced a free induction decay (FID) and an echo, as pictured in Figure 1....
