Ok, let's face it. I don't know what I'm doing. I'm a separations chemist running our NMR. sigh.
Anyway, I have been completely unsuccessful in getting any 1D selective excitation experiments to work. 2D run beautifully and give the results I expect, but if I try and select a a peak that had noe/roe interactions, the 1D comes up totally blank. I've adjusted mixing times to be in the correct window for each peak that I've tried to observe. The probe has been recently calibrated for optimal pw etc.
My biggest fear is that I'm going to have to crack open pbox and adjust or create new pulse shapes. VnmrJ 2.2D barely runs as it is (so finnicky and buggy!) that I haven't even started to try to learn pbox. Is there a good online tutorial or knowledge base to learn how to use it? I feel totally lost just looking at it.
thanks!

[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] Saturation pulse
Saturation pulse
I keep getting myself lost when thinking about saturation pulses, a pulse in which there is no magnetisation in the z direction. Now I know a 90 degree pulse rotates polarisation to xy however to make sure we have have got all the magnetisation we do a train of 90 degree pulses. The problem comes if you do two 90 degrees pulse right after each other it is similar to a 180 pulse - a few degrees. So we shall assume we rotate about x. do we have to time each pulse so that the xy magnetisation is pointing in x (so the rotation does nothing)and any z magnetisation will get...

[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] How about calibrating a 13C 90 pulse?
How about calibrating a 13C 90 pulse?
Most 90 degree pulse calibration instructions I've run across seem to be for a 1H 90. What about a 13C 90 degree pulse? Anyone have an easy set of instructions for doing this? Is calibrating the 90 for 13C less important than the 1H 90 for 2D experiments?
Thanks in advance!

NMR line shapes and multi-state binding equilibria
NMR line shapes and multi-state binding equilibria
Abstract Biological function of proteins relies on conformational transitions and binding of specific ligands. Proteinā??ligand interactions are thermodynamically and kinetically coupled to conformational changes in protein structures as conceptualized by the models of pre-existing equilibria and induced fit. NMR spectroscopy is particularly sensitive to complex ligand-binding modesā??NMR line-shape analysis can provide for thermodynamic and kinetic constants of ligand-binding equilibria with the site-specific resolution. However,...

Several NMR screening techniques have been developed in recent years to aid in the identification of lead drug compounds. These NMR methods have traditionally been used for protein targets, and here we examine their applicability for an RNA target. We used the SHAPES compound library to test three different NMR...

BACKGROUND: Recently, it has been shown that nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) may be used to identify ligands that bind to low molecular weight protein drug targets. Recognizing the utility of NMR as a very sensitive method for detecting binding, we have...
