Organic air particulate matter was analysed by applying the techniques of Py-GC-MS (pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) and solid state 13C-NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance). Particles dislodged from air particulate filters and humic acid extracted from these filters were studied for structural components. The structural components of the air particles and extracted humic acid consisted of compounds originating from biomacromolecules, namely, lignin, carbohydrates, protein and lipids. The main components identified for each class included: (1) methoxyphenols originating from lignin; (2) furans, aldehydes and ketones from carbohydrates; (3) pyrrole, indoles from protein; and (4) many hydrocarbons from lipid structures. Single ion monitoring (SIM) and tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide (TMAH) methylation were utilised for detection of aliphatic hydrocarbons and acidic components, respectively. Hydrocarbons ranging from C9 to C28 were detected by SIM analysis, while aliphatic acids ranged from C9 to C18. The majority of components analysed directly in the air particles were similar to those from the humic acid extracts. Many of the structural components of air particles were typical of humic substances of soil and aqueous systems and these were attributed to both biogenic and anthropogenic sources.

We demonstrate that two projection experiments, aN-HSQC–NOESY–N-HSQC and aC-HSQC–NOESY–N-HSQC, recorded for a histone domain from yeast, contain enough information to support a structural characterisation of the protein. At the temperature used, 298K, the histone domain exhibits a very high extent of chemical shift degeneracy that is uncharacteristic for...

Michael Sattler's teaching material
The website of EMBL's Sattler Group contains links to a range of teaching materials:
http://www.embl-heidelberg.de/nmr/sattler/teaching/index.html
There's a lot of useful stuff on their website, but it's pretty difficult to navigate.
The website also has links to some of Claudia Muhle-Goll's biomolecular NMR lectures (PowerPoint):
Lecture 1: Phenomenon of NMR - why do we observe a signal?
Lecture 4: Labelling techniques and heteronuclear backbone assignment
Lecture 5: Product operator formalism
