Wiley: "The field of solid state NMR of biological samples has blossomed recently, requiring new practitioners in industry and academia to have fundamental understanding of this technology. Discussed are Solid State NMR methods for studying structure dynamics and ligand-binding in biopolymers as well as RF pulse sequences for various applications, including not only a systematic catalog but also a discussion of theoretical tools for analysis of pulse sequences. Including practical examples of biochemical applications, this dependable EMR handbook thoroughly examines a field sure to expand in the years ahead."

High-resolution NMR field-cycling device for full-range relaxation and structural studies of biopolymers on a shared commercial instrument
High-resolution NMR field-cycling device for full-range relaxation and structural studies of biopolymers on a shared commercial instrument
Abstract Improvements are described in a shuttling field-cycling device (Redfield in Magn Reson Chem 41:753â??768, 2003), designed to allow widespread access to this useful technique by configuring it as a removable module to a commercial 500 MHz NMR instrument. The main improvements described here, leading to greater versatility, high reliability and simple construction, include: shuttling provided by a linear motor driven by an integrated-control...

Authors: Tycko R
Current interest in amyloid fibrils stems from their involvement in neurodegenerative and other diseases and from their role as an alternative structural state for many peptides and proteins. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods have the unique capability of providing detailed structural constraints for amyloid fibrils, sufficient for the development of full molecular models. In...

Magic-angle spinning solid-state NMR experiments are well suited to investigating the structures and mechanisms of important proteins that are inaccessible to X-ray crystallography and solution NMR spectroscopy, including membrane proteins and disease-related protein aggregates. Good progress has been made in the development...
