Abstract:
Diffusion ordered NMR is implemented to determine accurately the mobility of paramagnetic tris-dipicolinate lanthanide complexes that are versatile probes of protein structure. It is shown that diffusion coefficient ratios can be measured with an accuracy of 1 % using a standard BPPLED pulse sequence, which allows for observing significant, though weak, variations when different species are interacting with the paramagnetic compound. We demonstrate that this approach is complementary to classical chemical shift titration experiments, and that it can be applied successfully to probe the supramolecular dynamic interactions between lanthanide complexes and small molecules on the one hand, or to determine rapidly their affinity for a targeted protein.

03:02Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...

Proteomics is the study of proteomes' function. It involves the large-scale systematic study of the proteome to denote the protein complement expressed by a genome. Scientist Mark Wilkins coined the term...
