Abstract
Amyloid peptides, A?1-40 and A?1-42, represent major molecular targets to develop potential drugs and diagnostic tools for Alzheimer's Disease (AD). In fact, oligomeric and fibrillar aggregates generated by these peptides are amongst the principal components of amyloid plaques found post mortem in patients suffering from AD. Rosmarinic acid has been demonstrated to be effective in preventing the aggregation of amyloid peptides in vitro and to delay the progression of the disease in animal models. Nevertheless, no information is available about its molecular mechanism of action. Herein, we report the NMR characterization of the interaction of Salvia sclareoides extract and that of its major component, rosmarinic acid, with A?1-42 peptide, whose oligomers have been described as the most toxic A? species in vivo. Our data shed light on the structural determinants of rosmarinic acid-A?1-42 oligomers interaction, thus allowing the elucidation of its mechanism of action. They also provide important information for the rational design of new compounds with higher affinity for A? peptides to generate new anti-amyloidogenic molecules and/or molecular tools for the specific targeting of amyloid aggregates in vivo. In addition, we identified methyl caffeate, another natural compound present in different plants and human diet, as a good ligand of A?1-42 oligomers, which also shows anti-amyloidogenic activity. Finally, we demonstrated the possibility to exploit STD-NMR and trNOESY experiments to screen extracts from natural sources for the presence of A? peptide ligands.

Alzheimer's analysed: New clues in brain disease
Alzheimer's analysed: New clues in brain disease http://www.spectroscopynow.com/common/images/thumbnails/13af4d7f690.jpgRecent studies have added weight to the idea that amyloid-beta is a causative agent in Alzheimer's disease rather than the plaques formed from these chunks of misfolded peptide that deposit in the diseased brain. Now, European researchers have used REAPDOR solid-state NMR spectroscopy to analyse the hydrogen bonds in the tiny fibrils of amyloid-beta peptide, offering another perspective on this neurodegenerative disorder.

[U. of Ottawa NMR Facility Blog] The Major Constituents of Natural Gas
The Major Constituents of Natural Gas The major constituent of natural gas is methane however, other gaseous hydrocarbons are also present. One way to identify other components is to dissolve some natural gas in a solvent and examine the 1H NMR spectrum. The spectrum in the figure below was acquired on a sample prepared by bubbling natural gas through benzene-d6 for several minutes. The spectrum clearly shows the presence of methane, ethane, propane and water.http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q-r6TSTHCdk/T3RrTY7dVUI/AAAAAAAAA8A/lYTb4acZIQU/s400/natural_gas.jpg The spectrum also indicated other...
