The promise of room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) as alternatives to toxic and inflammable volatile organic solvents for green chemistry has been on the boil for at least a couple of decades. Now, team has found that enzymatic activity can be sustained in processing cellulose, from wood, for conversion of this raw material into other useful compounds.
Electron Spin–Lattice Relaxation Mechanisms of Nitroxyl Radicals in Ionic Liquids and Conventional Organic Liquids: Temperature Dependence of a Thermally Activated Process

Electron Spin–Lattice Relaxation Mechanisms of Nitroxyl Radicals in Ionic Liquids and Conventional Organic Liquids: Temperature Dependence of a Thermally Activated Process
A detailed understanding of the electron-spin relaxation mechanisms in polarizing agents used for DMP-NMR spectroscopy is crucial for the understanding of the DNP process and to optimize polarizing agents for different DNP applications. The entire study was performed at X-Band frequencies (9 GHz, 14 MHz 1H) and provides many details about the relaxation behavior of nitroxide radicals -...

Post-Doc fellowship in NMR Methods to Study Ionic Solids/liquids - Univ. of Aveiro/Lisbon (Portugal)
Post-Doc fellowship in NMR Methods to Study Ionic Solids/liquids - Univ. of Aveiro/Lisbon (Portugal)
A 1-year postdoctoral position is available starting from January 2011, (extendable for additional 12 months) to study the “solid structure” of ionic liquids (ILs) and ionic solids (ISs) with relevance to the pharmaceutical industry. The research will be centred in the use of NMR techniques in tandem with molecular modelling to study the physical chemistry of molecular interactions in ILs and ISs. The project will be performed at the NMR centres at the Universities of Aveiro (solid state...

The power of heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy to study macromolecules and their complexes has been amply demonstrated over the last decade. The obstacle to routinely applying these techniques to the study of DNA has been the synthesis of 13C,15N-labeled DNA. Here we present a simple and efficient method to generate...

Protein alignment using cellulose nanocrystals: practical considerations and range of
Abstract Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) form liquid crystals in aqueous solution that confer alignment to macromolecules and permit the measurement of residual dipolar couplings. CNCs possess many attractive features as an alignment medium. They are inexpensive, non-toxic, chemically inert, and robust to denaturants and temperature. Despite these advantages, CNCs are seldom employed as an alignment medium and the range of their applicability has not yet been explored. We have re-examined the use of CNCs in biomolecular NMR by analyzing the effects concentration, ionic strength, and...
