The measurement of amide nitrogen 14N quadrupolar coupling by two-dimensional 14N/13C correlation experiment is presented with a natural abundant polypeptide. Directly bonded 14N/13C pairs are correlated through J and residual dipolar coupling under magic-angle spinning using a HMQC-type pulse sequence. The 14N quadrupolar coupling is measured from the isotropic second-order quadrupolar shift o...

Abstract. Coastal waters globally are increasingly impacted due to the anthropogenic loading of nitrogen (N) from watershed. To assess dominant sources contributing eutrophication Little Narragansett Bay estuary in New England, we carried out an annual study N Pawcatuck River. We conducted weekly monitoring nutrients and nitrate (NO3-) isotope ratios (15N / 14N, 18O 16O, 17O 16O) at mouth river...

We report solid-state 17O NMR determination of the 17O NMR tensors for the keto carbonyl oxygen (O6) of guanine in two 17O-enriched guanosine derivatives: [6-17O]guanosine (G1) and 2',3',5'-O-triacetyl-[6-17O]guanosine (G2). In G1.2H2O, guanosine molecules form hydrogen-bonded G-ribbons where the guanine bases are linked by O6...H-N2 and N7...H-N7 hydrogen bonds in a zigzag fashion. In addition...

We report the results of 27Aland 93Nbnuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements in PrNb2Al20 single crystals. The field angle dependence of the observed 93Nb-NMR lines for the single crystal at around 5 T and at 50K is reproduced by a simulation using previously reported NQR parameters νQ,Nb ≈ 1.82MHz and ηNb ≈ 0, while 27Al-NMR lines were not reproduce...

Multinuclear NMR studies of the gaseous mixtures that involve volatile compounds and 3He atoms are featured in this review. The precise analyses other nuclei resonance frequencies show linear dependencies on gas density. Extrapolation phase results to zero-pressure limit gives ν0(3He) ν0(nX) a single 3-helium atom molecules at given temperature. frequency comparison method provides an approach ...

Adenosine 5'-(S)-[16O,17O,18O]phosphate was pyrophosphorylated by the combined action of adenylate kinase and pyruvate kinase. The isotopomers of adenosine 5'-[alpha-16O,17O,18O]triphosphate were hydrolysed by venom 5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase (Crotalus adamanteus) in H2(17)O. Analysis by 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of the resulting adenosine 5'-[16O,17O,18O]phosphate, after...

The great utility and importance of zeolites in fields as diverse as industrial catalysis and medicine has driven considerable interest in the ability to target new framework types with novel properties and applications. The recently introduced and unconventional assembly, disassembly, organization, reassembly (ADOR) method represents one exciting new approach to obtain solids with targeted str...

The unique high-resolution feature offered by 14N magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy of ammonium ions has been used to characterize the crystal structures of various ammonium molybdates by their 14N quadrupole coupling parameters, i.e., CQ, the quadrupole coupling constant, and etaQ, the asymmetry parameter. Two polymorphs of diammonium monomolybdate, (NH4)2MoO4, recently structurally ...

We use state-of-the-art chemical models to track the cosmic evolution of the CNO isotopes in the interstellar medium of galaxies, yielding powerful constraints on their stellar initial mass function (IMF). We re-assess the relative roles of massive stars, asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars and novae in the production of rare isotopes such as 13C, 15N, 17O and 18O, along with 12C, 14N and 16O. ...

The nitrogen isotopic composition (15N/14N) of forested ecosystems varies systematically worldwide. In tropical forests, which are elevated in 15N relative to temperate biomes, a decrease in ecosystem 15N/14N with increasing rainfall has been reported. This trend is seen in a set of well characterized Hawaiian rainforests, across which we have measured the 15N/14N of inputs and hydrologic losse...
