Core C-2: NMR Center P.I. C. Allen Bush [bush@umbc.edu] Director: Bruce Johnson [johnsonb@umbc.edu] Newly Installed Instrumentation Four Bruker 3-channel Avance III consoles with cryoprobe 500, 600 MHz, 800 MHz and 950 MHz All have identical Topspin 3.2 software Data processing and analysis facility Data 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 value Equatorial protons (gauche) in -anomer > small J coupling value
In the 2-d COSY spectrum the directly detected FID (blue) is recorded as the interval between the pulses is incremented (the indirect dimension.)
Anomeric signals Central region of spectrum 1H-13C HSQC spectrum of CPS of S. pneumoniae type 39
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 mg) 2. insoluble solids 3. 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 Reasonably pure sample (~80%). Any impurity is readily obvious from the spectrum High resolution NMR requires true solubility – cloudy solutions pose problems Sample size: 1 micromole is good, 100 nM is OK. More sample provides more information, eg. 1H-13C heteronuclear data in natural abundance Isotope enrichment often used. eg. 13C, 15N in peptides or proteins
