J Magn Reson. 2004 May;168(1):66-74
Authors: Lipton AS, Heck RW, Sears JA, Ellis PD
Solid-state NMR spectroscopy of half-integer quadrupolar nuclides has received a lot of interest recently with the advent of new methodologies and higher magnetic fields. We present here the extension of our previous low temperature method to an 18.8T system. This new probe entailed a total redesign including a cross coil and variable capacitors that are operational at cryogenic temperatures. The limitations to sensitivity are also discussed; including a new diode network, the utilization of a cryogenic band pass filter, and the consequences of the RF profiles of the coil. Further, details of the spectroscopy of quadrupolar nuclei in a protein are discussed, such as the observation of the outer transitions and how to distinguish them from the desired +/-1/2 transition.

Cryogenic temperature effects and resolution upon slow cooling of protein preparations in solid state NMR
Abstract X-ray crystallography using synchrotron radiation and the technique of dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) require samples to be kept at temperatures below 100 K. Protein dynamics are poorly understood below the freezing point of water and down to liquid nitrogen temperatures. Therefore, we investigate the α-spectrin SH3 domain by magic angle spinning (MAS) solid state NMR (ssNMR) at various temperatures while cooling slowly. Cooling down...

Elastin is the principal protein component of the elastic fiber in vertebrate tissue. The waters of hydration in the elastic fiber are believed to play a critical role in the structure and function of this largely hydrophobic, amorphous protein. (13)C CPMAS NMR spectra are acquired for...

[U. of Ottawa NMR Facility Blog] Solid State NMR of Half Integer Quadrupolar Nuclei
Solid State NMR of Half Integer Quadrupolar Nuclei
Many students who do liquid state NMR or solid state NMR of spin I=1/2 nuclei have very little appreciation for the information content and complexity of the solid state NMR spectra of spin I = n/2 quadrupolar nuclei (n= 3, 5, 7....). In part, I think this may be due to the mathematics involved with explaining the important effects. With this post, I attempt to describe the NMR spectrum of an I = 5/2 nucleus in the soild state without resorting to mathematics. I hope that this post helps to boost the understanding and appreciation for the...
