Abstract
Solution-state NMR spectroscopy remains the primary method for characterising synthetic supramolecular assemblies. Yet, in their NMR spectra, relaxation interference effects can significantly alter peak intensities hindering interpretation. Here, we present a simple experiment for synthetic chemists to analyse this effect, allowing interpretation of these distorted spectra and validation of spectral assignments. We apply this experiment to synthetic porphyrin oligomers with molecular weights approaching those of protein domains (10 kDa). Our experiment provides a simple means to gain additional structural and dynamical information that will become increasingly useful as chemists create larger molecular architectures.

Harnessing insulation: Magnetic clue
http://www.spectroscopynow.com/common/images/thumbnails/14cb69ea9eb.jpgA subatomic magnetic phenomenon predicted more than sixty years ago has been measured for the first time. The demonstration of van Vleck magnetism could open the door to harnessing topological insulators - hybrid materials that are both conducting and insulating - and may well lead to new approaches to quantum computing, spintronics applications, and much-improved semiconductors.

Solid-state NMR is a versatile tool to study structure and dynamics of insoluble and non-crystalline biopolymers. Supramolecular protein assemblies are formed by self-association of multiple copies of single small-sized proteins. Because of their high degree of local order, solid-state NMR...

Abstract
ABSTRACT In structural biology, pulsed field gradient (PFG) NMR for characterization of size and hydrodynamic parameters of macromolecular solutes has the advantage over other techniques that the measurements can be recorded with identical solution...

A systematic mutagenesis-driven strategy for site-resolved NMR studies of supramolecular assemblies
A systematic mutagenesis-driven strategy for site-resolved NMR studies of supramolecular assemblies
Abstract Obtaining sequence-specific assignments remains a major bottleneck in solution NMR investigations of supramolecular structure, dynamics and interactions. Here we demonstrate that resonance assignment of methyl probes in high molecular weight protein assemblies can be efficiently achieved by combining fast NMR experiments, residue-type-specific isotope-labeling and automated site-directed mutagenesis. The utility of this general and straightforward strategy is demonstrated through...
