We have employed soft (Gaussian) pulses to examine 27Al NMR signals arising from Al3+ bound to ovotransferrin. In addition to enhancing the general detectability of 27Al signals from a practical standpoint, this technique makes it possible to invert the central component of the protein-bound 27Al signals, providing a route for, to our knowledge, the first inversion-recovery measurements on such systems. The suitability of this approach for gaining insights into the nature of metal ion binding sites in large metalloproteins is critically assessed. Copyright 1997 Academic Press.

Unequal quadrupolar splitting intensities
Hi everyone
I'm running an experiment looking at a mesoporous organosilica soaked in benzene-d6. The pores are tubular and aligned more or less in the same direction, so the anisotropic environment causes quadrupolar splitting when looking at deuterium. However, the splitting intensities are not equal: the left peak tends to be noticeably larger (~10-20%) than the right. Have tried this with the sample at different orientations in the field. At some angles, such at 180 degrees, the peaks are nearly equal in intensity, but at the rest of them the left is higher.
So my question is: what...

We demonstrate a general nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic approach in obtaining high-resolution (17)O (spin-5/2) NMR spectra for biological macromolecules in aqueous solution. This approach, termed quadrupole central transition (QCT) NMR, is based on the multiexponential relaxation...

[U. of Ottawa NMR Facility Blog] Solid State NMR of Half Integer Quadrupolar Nuclei
Solid State NMR of Half Integer Quadrupolar Nuclei
Many students who do liquid state NMR or solid state NMR of spin I=1/2 nuclei have very little appreciation for the information content and complexity of the solid state NMR spectra of spin I = n/2 quadrupolar nuclei (n= 3, 5, 7....). In part, I think this may be due to the mathematics involved with explaining the important effects. With this post, I attempt to describe the NMR spectrum of an I = 5/2 nucleus in the soild state without resorting to mathematics. I hope that this post helps to boost the understanding and appreciation for the...
