Abstract
Shear stress can induce structural deformation of proteins, which might result in aggregate formation. Rheo-NMR spectroscopy has the potential to monitor structural changes in proteins under shear stress at the atomic level; however, existing Rheo-NMR methodologies have insufficient sensitivity to probe protein structure and dynamics. Here we present a simple and versatile approach to Rheo-NMR, which maximizes sensitivity by using a spectrometer equipped with a cryogenic probe. As a result, the sensitivity of the instrument ranks highest among the Rheo-NMR spectrometers reported so far. We demonstrate that the newly developed Rheo-NMR instrument can acquire high-quality relaxation data for a protein under shear stress and can trace structural changes in a protein during fibril formation in real time. The described approach will facilitate rheological studies on protein structural deformation, thereby aiding a physical understanding of shear-induced amyloid fibril formation.

High sensitivity high-resolution full range relaxometry using a fast mechanical sample shuttling device and a cryo-probe
Abstract
Field-dependent NMR studies of bio-molecular systems using a sample shuttling hardware operating on a high-field NMR apparatus have provided valuable structural and dynamic information. We have recently published a design of a compact sample transportation device, called â??field-cyclerâ??, which was installed in a commercial spectrometer and which provided highly precise positioning and stability during high speed...

Abstract
Detection of (15)N in multidimensional NMR experiments of proteins has sparsely been utilized because of the low gyromagnetic ratio (?) of nitrogen and the presumed low sensitivity of such experiments. Here we show that selecting the TROSY...

Nitrogen detected TROSY at high field yields high resolution and sensitivity for protein NMR
Abstract
Detection of 15N in multidimensional NMR experiments of proteins has sparsely been utilized because of the low gyromagnetic ratio (γ) of nitrogen and the presumed low sensitivity of such experiments. Here we show that selecting the TROSY components of proton-attached 15N nuclei (TROSY 15NH) yields high quality spectra in high field magnets (>600Â*MHz) by taking advantage of the slow 15N transverse relaxation and compensating for the inherently low...

The double nucleus enhanced recoupling (DONER) experiment employs simultaneous irradiation of protons and deuterons to promote spin diffusion processes in a perdeuterated protein. This results in 4–5times higher sensitivity in 2D 13C–13C correlation experiments as compared to PDSD . Here, a quantitative comparison of PDSD, 1H-DARR, 2H-DARR, and 1H+ 2H DONER has been...

Postdoc in Soft Matter and Rheo-NMR
Postdoc in Soft Matter and Rheo-NMR
We seek a PhD graduate or equivalent in Physics with a strong background in soft matter. The focus will be on the behavior of complex fluids, shear banding, temporal-spatial fluctuations as well as start up flow. The position is for one year (with the option to extend by 8 months, depending on performance), based in Wellington New Zealand. An additional background in NMR including Rheo-NMR is desirable.
