Bacterial biofilms cause persistent infections that are difficult to treat and contribute greatly to antimicrobial resistance. However, high-resolution structural information on native bacterial biofilms remain very limited. This limitation is primarily due to methodological constraints associated with analyzing complex native samples. Although solid-state NMR (ssNMR) is a promising method in this regard, its conventional applications typically suffer from sensitivity limitations, particularly...
[NMR paper] Trehalose matrices for high temperature dynamic nuclear polarization enhanced solid state NMR
Trehalose matrices for high temperature dynamic nuclear polarization enhanced solid state NMR
Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) at cryogenic temperatures has proved to be a valuable technique to enhance the sensitivity of solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Over the years, sample formulations have been optimized for experiments at cryogenic temperatures. At 9.4 T, the best performing polarizing agents are dinitroxides such as AMUPol and TEKPol that lead to enhancement factors of around 250 at 100 K. However, the performance of these radicals plummets at higher temperatures. Here we introduce......

Analysis of Molecular Orientation in Organic Semiconducting Thin Films Using Static Dynamic Nuclear Polarization Enhanced Solid-State NMR
Molecular orientation in amorphous organic semiconducting thin film devices is an important issue affecting device performances. However, to date it has not been possible to analyze the "distribution" of the orientations. Although solid-state NMR (ssNMR) can provide information on the distribution of molecular orientations, the technique is limited because of the small amounts of sample in the devices and the low sensitivity of ssNMR. Here, we report...
