Spectral editing experiments were used to quantify CH3 groups from macromolecular species in the chemical shift region from 1.2 to 1.4 ppm of rat cerebrum in vivo. Two peaks centred at 1.22 and 1.40 ppm were revealed when irradiation was positioned at 4.35 or 4.30 ppm. These peaks had lower saturation factors (1 vs. 1.72 +/- 0.10) than N-acetyl aspartate (NAA) and shorter T2 [60 +/- 5.8 (1.22 ppm) and 51 +/- 2.2 (1.40 ppm) vs. 123 +/- 12 (NAA) ms]. The concentrations of the peaks at 1.22 and 1.40 ppm were calculated to be 0.65 +/- 0.09 and 1.37 +/- 0.18 mmol of CH3 equivalents/kg brain. Acid extract from cerebral cortices contained macromolecular peaks at the same chemical shifts with approximately the same area ratios to NAA as in vivo. These data show that the macromolecular peaks in the brain at TE > 100 ms arise predominantly from proteins which are acid soluble. The assignment of macromolecular signals in the cerebral spectrum to a given polypeptide (thymosin beta 4 and histone H1) is discussed in the light of protein analyses of brain acid extracts.

Conformational analysis by quantitative NOE measurements of the β-proton pairs across individual disulfide bonds in proteins
Abstract NOEs between the β-protons of cysteine residues across disulfide bonds in proteins provide direct information on the connectivities and conformations of these important cross-links, which are otherwise difficult to investigate. With conventional -proteins, however, fast spin diffusion processes mediated by strong dipolar interactions between geminal β-protons prohibit the quantitative measurements and thus the analyses of long-range NOEs across...

A rigid disulfide-linked nitroxide side chain simplifies the quantitative analysis of PRE data
Abstract The measurement of 1H transverse paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE) has been used in biomolecular systems to determine long-range distance restraints and to visualize sparsely-populated transient states. The intrinsic flexibility of most nitroxide and metal-chelating paramagnetic spin-labels, however, complicates the quantitative interpretation of PREs due to delocalization of the paramagnetic center. Here, we present a novel, disulfide-linked nitroxide spin label, R1p, as...
