Abstract
Using solid state (13)C NMR data and elemental composition in a molecular mixing model, we estimated the molecular components of the organic matter in 16 recycled organic (RO) wastes representative of the major materials generated in the Sydney basin area. Close correspondence was found between the measured NMR signal intensities and those predicted by the model for all RO wastes except for poultry manure char. Molecular nature of the organic matter differed widely between the RO wastes. As a proportion of organic C, carbohydrate C ranged from 0.07 to 0.63, protein C from

Abstract
Essential biological processes such as cell motion, signaling,protein synthesis, and pathogen-host interactions rely on multifunctional molecular machines containing supramolecular assemblies, that is, noncovalently assembled protein subunits. Scientists would like to acquire a detailed atomic view of the complete...

A large geometric distortion in the first photointermediate of rhodopsin, determined by double-quantum solid-state NMR
Abstract Double-quantum magic-angle-spinning NMR experiments were performed on 11,12-13C2-retinylidene-rhodopsin under illumination at low temperature, in order to characterize torsional angle changes at the C11-C12 photoisomerization site. The sample was illuminated in the NMR rotor at low temperature (~120 K) in order to trap the primary photointermediate, bathorhodopsin. The NMR data are consistent with a strong torsional twist of the HCCH moiety at the...
