Freezing is essential for the stability of biological drug substances and products, particularly in frozen solution formulations and during the primary drying of lyophilized preparations. However, the unfrozen segment within the frozen matrix can alter solute concentration, ionic strength, and stabilizer crystallization, posing risks of increased biophysical instability and faster chemical degradation. While quantifying the unfrozen water content is important for designing stable...
Resolution in Cryogenic Solid State NMR: Challenges and Solutions
Resolution in Cryogenic Solid State NMR: Challenges and Solutions
Abstract
NMR at cryogenic temperatures has the potential to provide rich site-specific details regarding biopolymer structure, function, and mechanistic intermediates. Broad spectral lines compared with room temperature NMR can sometimes present practical challenges. A number of hypotheses regarding the origins of line broadening are explored. One frequently considered explanation is the presence of inhomogeneous conformational distributions. Possibly these arise when the facile characteristic motions that occur near room...

[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] Relative quantification (residual solvents)
Relative quantification (residual solvents)
Hi All,
I've been trying to get a clear answer to this question for a while now, but can't seem to get a definitive answer. My approach is following the method described in "Practical NMR for organic chemists" by John Hollerton and Steve Richards. I don't take any issue with this method, by only problem is that it gives a WILDLY different answer to the one I obtain when I do NMR quantification in TopSpin... this is a big problem, since often we are interested in the % of unwanted molecules in our samples.
Let me give you a simplified...
