[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] How long is too long a pulse?
How long is too long a pulse?
I recently calibrated the 90 for 11B on a Agilent 400MR. The 1H 90 was about 6.8us at 59dB... It turns out to be 22.6us for 11B at 59dB. Is this long enough that I should consider upping the pulse power?
More generally, how long is too long a pulse in general?

[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] What will happen if I use long pulse?
What will happen if I use long pulse?
Hello everybody. We have an AVANCE 500 MHz bruker instrument. Unfortunately, our amplifier has been weakened and I can not reach 90 degree pulse for X nuclei channel. When I increase the power (decrease the Pl in XWin NMR) my signal always grow. I am going to use long pulses with duration of 80 microsecond to 100 microsecond or even more to reach 90 degree pulse instead of common pulses which are about 10 microsecond. Is this situation hurt any part of instrument? Or I only lose current broad excitation band and will be forced to take several spectrum...

Influence of pH on NMR structure and stability of the human prion protein globular domain.
Related Articles Influence of pH on NMR structure and stability of the human prion protein globular domain.
J Biol Chem. 2003 Sep 12;278(37):35592-6
Authors: Calzolai L, Zahn R
The NMR structure of the globular domain of the human prion protein (hPrP) with residues 121-230 at pH 7.0 shows the same global fold as the previously published structure determined at pH 4.5. It contains three alpha-helices, comprising residues 144-156, 174-194, and 200-228, and...
