Abstract
The ultimate aim of this study was to apply a non-targeted chemometric analysis (principal component analysis and hierarchical clustering analysis using the heat map approach) of NMR data to investigate the variability of organic compounds in nine genotype cowpea seeds, without any complex pre-treatment. In general, both exploratory tools show that Tvu 233, CE-584, and Setentão genotypes presented higher amount mainly of raffinose and Tvu 382 presented the highest content of choline and least content of raffinose. The evaluation of the aromatic region showed the Setentão genotype with highest content of niacin/vitamin B3 whereas Tvu 382 with lowest amount. To investigate rigid and mobile components in the seeds cotyledon, (13)C CP and SP/MAS solid-state NMR experiments were performed. The cotyledon of the cowpea comprised a rigid part consisting of starch as well as a soft portion made of starch, fatty acids, and protein. The variable contact time experiment suggests the presence of lipid-amylose complexes.

Systematic evaluation of combined automated NOE assignment and structure calculation with CYANA
Systematic evaluation of combined automated NOE assignment and structure calculation with CYANA
Abstract
The automated assignment of NOESY cross peaks has become a fundamental technique for NMR protein structure analysis. A widely used algorithm for this purpose is implemented in the program CYANA. It has been used for a large number of structure determinations of proteins in solution but a systematic evaluation of its performance has not yet been reported. In this paper we systematically analyze the reliability of combined automated NOESY assignment...

Insight into the conformational stability of membrane-embedded BamA using a combined solution and solid-state NMR approach
Insight into the conformational stability of membrane-embedded BamA using a combined solution and solid-state NMR approach
Abstract
The β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM) is involved in folding and insertion of outer membrane proteins in Gram-negative bacteria, a process that is still poorly understood. With its 790 residues, BamA presents a challenge to current NMR methods. We utilized a â??divide and conquerâ?? approach in which we first obtained resonance assignments for BamAâ??s periplasmic POTRA domains 4 and 5 by solution NMR. Comparison of...

[NMR analysis blog] Basis on qNMR: Intramolecular vs Mixtures qNMR
Basis on qNMR: Intramolecular vs Mixtures qNMR
A bit of historical background
NMR has won its reputation as a powerful tool for structure determination of organic molecules. In addition to the information provided by chemical shifts and coupling constants, the quantitative relationships existing between the peaks (or groups of peaks - multiplets) arising from the various nuclides in the sample has proven pivotal for the assignment and interpretation of NMR spectra.
Despite the fact that the concept of quantitative NMR (qNMR) has been coupled to NMR since the early 1950, shortly...
