Newly Installed InstrumentationFour Bruker 3-channel Avance III consoles with
cryoprobe500, 600 MHz, 800 MHz and 950 MHzAll have identical Topspin 3.2 software
Data processing and analysis facilityData easily networked off-site
Funds available for training and exploratory work
NMR Spectrometer
An NMR instrument is composed of a magnet, a computer and a box of radios.
Free induction decay
FID spectrum
Diaxial protons in -anomer > large J coupling valueEquatorial protons (gauche) in -anomer > smallJ coupling value
In the 2-d COSY spectrum the directly detected FID(blue) is recorded as the interval between the pulsesis incremented (the indirect dimension.)
Tocsy spectrum- pneumococcal CPS type 10F
Cosy spectrum- pneumococcal CPS type 10F
1H-13C HSQC spectrum of CPS of S. pneumoniae type 39
Anomeric signals Central region of spectrum
What can NMR do ?Structure, conformation, ligand binding
Oligosaccharide, glycopeptides, polysaccharide, glycolipid
Small protein (<30kD), peptide
Ligand binding to (large) protein
Cannot do
1. small sample (<100 g)
2. insoluble solids3. big protein (>50kD)
Practical Aspects
Choice of Solvents – D2O for:Oligosaccharides, glycopeptides, polysaccharides
D2O exchange: Lyophilize from D2O
Other solvents (deuterated form): DMSO, CD3OD, CDCl3:
What can you see ?
protons – 1H bonded to carbon
Amide protons in H2O (sometimes)
Hydroxyl protons exchange rapidly in D2O
NMR Sample Requirements
1. Reasonably pure sample (~80%). Any impurity is readily obvious from the spectrum
2. High resolution NMR requires true solubility – cloudy solutions pose problems
3. Sample size: 1 micromole is good, 100 nM is OK. More sample provides more information, eg. 1H-13C heteronuclear data in natural abundance
4. Isotope enrichment often used. eg. 13C, 15N in peptides or proteins
