Abstract
Proteins usually exist in multiple conformational states in solution. High pressure NMR spectroscopy is a well-suited method to identify these states. In addition, these states can be characterized by their thermodynamic parameters, the free enthalpies at ambient pressure, the partial molar volumes, and the partial molar compressibility that can be obtained from the analysis of the high pressure NMR data. Two main types of states of proteins exist, functional states and folding states. There is a strong link between these two types, the functional states represent essential folding states (intermediates), other folding states may have no functional meaning (optional folding states). In this chapter, this concept is tested on the Ras protein, an important proto-oncogen in humans where all substates required by theory can be identified experimentally by high pressure NMR spectroscopy. Finally, we show how these data can be used to develop allosteric inhibitors of proteins.

Abstract
High-pressure nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has revealed that ubiquitin has at least two high-energy states - an alternatively folded state N2 and a locally disordered state I - between the basic folded state N1 and totally unfolded U...

[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] High Pressure NMR Samples
High Pressure NMR Samples
I need to run NMR on samples of anhydrous ammonia. The boiling point of anhydrous ammonia is -33.34 deg C. In order to be able to have enough time to acquire spectra, I would like to seal the NMR tubes. Once the sample tubes are sealed, the ammonia will build up pressure until it reaches equilibrium and exists as a liquid at room temperature (at approximately 10 atm of pressure). I know NMR tubes exist which can easily withstand these sorts of pressures, but my main problem is in finding a way to seal the tube. I have tried sealing the tubes by melting the...
