Default "Absolute" Water Suppression

"Absolute" Water Suppression

Collecting 1H NMR spectra of aqueous samples is complicated by the presence of the enormous, broad water signal which is often many orders of magnitude more intense than the signals from the solute of interest. The water signal can be suppressed by presaturation or multiple pulse techniques employing gradients (such as WATERGATE). These techniques are compared here and do a very good job, but neither is able to completely suppress the water signal in very dilute challenging samples. Recently, a technique introduced by Buuan Lam and Andre Simpson* which uses both presaturation and W5-WATERGATE has been used to suppress the water signal. In this case, the presaturation consists of many low power shaped 180° pulses. The combination of these two techniques provides incredible water suppression. The authors are able to measure the 1H NMR spectra of dissolved organic matter in natural waters without any preconcentration of the samples. Their spectra are completely free of the water signal! At the 2011 ENC the same group presented a poster** highlighting the water-free 1H NMR spectrum of the dissolved organic matter in melted glacial ice. The water suppression is so remarkable that this technique should be called "The Simpson Sledgehammer". The figure below illustrates further examples of the implementation of this suppression method. The bottom trace shows the 32 scan 1H NMR spectrum of a dilute unlabelled protein (which includes the NH resonances, albeit attenuated due to chemical exchange). The middle trace shows the 32 scan 1H NMR spectrum of supernatant human saliva. The upper trace shows the 1H NMR spectrum of rain water collected from an asphalt tile roof. The spectrum was collected overnight and shows the presence of long chain hydrocarbons from the asphalt as well as formaldehyde. In all cases the water signal is completely absent in the spectrum.

[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] What is the easiest way to emulate the "array" command from VNMR in XWINNMR/TOPSPIN?
What is the easiest way to emulate the "array" command from VNMR in XWINNMR/TOPSPIN? What is the easiest way to emulate the "array" command from VNMR in XWINNMR/TOPSPIN? I recently moved from a lab using a Varian (Unity plus 500) with VNMR 6.whatever to a lab with only Bruker (AVANCE 300/400/500) spectrometers available. I am used to using the "array" caommand in VNMR and viewing the spectra with "dssa" or "dssh." I don't know a convenient way to do the same thing in XWINNMR. I know there are some AU programs but I'm not sure what they all do or if what I want is available. I tried...

Postdoctoral Position "Solution Dynamics of Protein Kinases" in New York
Postdoctoral Position "Solution Dynamics of Protein Kinases" in New York A postdoctoral position to study the solution dynamics and structure of protein kinases is available on a NIH funded project (REF#: HS-R-6453-10-08-S). Our group is interested in how static and dynamic changes of protein structure affect the activity of protein kinases. We combine X-ray crystallography, NMR and ligand binding kinetics with collaborative molecular dynamic studies (See e.g. ref 1 and 2). Our research group is located at Stony Brook University in a highly interactive environment with the New York...
