J Biomol NMR. 2000 Apr;16(4):339-42

Sorbitol is an excellent protein-stabilization agent, but it is typically used at high concentrations where the 1H signals can interfere with NMR data collection and analysis. Deuteration of sorbitol can ameliorate this problem; however, perdeuterated sorbitol is not commercially available. We describe a simple and inexpensive method for preparation of perdeuterated sorbitol from perdeuterated glucose. The method is described explicitly and examples are given where the use of perdeuterated sorbitol has allowed the extraction of information, from NMR spectra, that is otherwise unobtainable.
[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] RDC gel preparation
RDC gel preparation
I have seen many different protocols on making acrylamide gels for RDC measurements which include usually one of the following 1)drying the gel and re-swelling with protein solution2)allowing equilibration of protein into an already swelled gel
It seems as though you can get a much higher protein conc. if you dry the gel so what is the advantage to letting it equilibrate?
Thanks

We test the performance of several 13C homonuclear mixing sequences on perdeuterated microcrystalline ubiquitin. All sequences were applied without 1H decoupling and at relatively low MAS frequencies. We found that RFDR gave the highest overall transfer efficiency and that DREAM performs surprisingly well under these conditions being twice...

[U. of Ottawa NMR Facility Blog] Free and Inexpensive NMR Processing Software for Students
Free and Inexpensive NMR Processing Software for Students
Processing NMR data has just become more affordable for students. Our friends at Advanced Chemistry Development have recently decided to make their NMR processing software free of charge to academics. As a student, you can put this software on your personal laptop or PC and process your NMR data at home or anywhere your travels take you. You can register and download the software here. They have even started a BLOG dealing with use of the software. I think I speak for all students when I say "Thanks guys!!"
Also, our friends at...
