    The effect of mefenamic acid on the physicochemical and sorption properties of aerogel was studied. 1H and 13C MAS, T1-T2 RRCOSY and 1H-1H NOESY NMR experiments were carried out to study the conformational state of mefenamic acid and its effect on the aerogel structure. The results show that the group fraction of conformer groups of mefenamic acid changes by 53% in the presence of aerogel.

  • Determination of the predominant conformation of Arbidol solvates in scCO2 by NMR

    Eventova Varvara – @evarvara24

    Crystalline forms of medicinal compounds in the form of crystalline solvates have increased solubility in water and can be used to improve therapeutic properties. When obtaining solvates, the choice of solvent is important. In this work, the predominant conformations of arbidol in scCO2+2% DMSO-d6 were determined by NMR and X-Ray methods. The results showed the promise of using scCO2 as an alternativevto organic solvents.

  • Deuterium Relaxation as a Probe to investigate Conformational Analysis of Beta-lactoglobulin (β-lg)

    Sakshi Bhagat – @sakszi

    Being the most dynamic component of majority of biological processes solvent plays a crucial role in changing the protein’s conformation in the system. The structural evolution of protein in various media, such as co-solvents, electrolytes, and others indicates existence of various intra- and intermolecular interactions that are responsible for maintaining protein stability. In the present study we focussed on the spin-lattice relaxation of deuterium nuclei present in co-solvents deciphering conformational changes in β-LG at variable concentration of co-solvent at a neutral pH. Β-LG is a milk protein with 162 Amino acids and is found abundantly in milk and is one the most extensively studied β-sheet protein. Presently, tri-fluorethanol (TFE) and Acetonitrile (ACN) are the two organic solvents under investigation. Spin-lattice relaxation rates of 2H nuclei can provide solitary insights into time dependent conformational fluctuation of β-LG from beta sheet to the α-helix structure.

  • NOESY Analysis of Choline Chloride-Based Deep Eutectic Solvents

    Sarah Anderson – @sanderson9135

    The initial goal of this research was to reproduce a NMR study by Delso et al. which evidenced the existence of a hydrogen bonding network. Each solvent contained choline-chloride, a hydrogen bond acceptor, and water. Previous studies provided a qualitative analysis, evidenced by the Nuclear Overhauser Effect. Through the analysis of nOe peak intensities with varied mixing time one may understand this network quantitatively.

  • Chemical profiling of craft beers via NMR spectroscopy

    Plamen Chorbadzhiev – @NMR_P_Ch_0359

    Craft beer have been gaining popularity for the past years, yet their chemical profile is poorly studied. 1H NMR metabolomics is used to determine their main components, as well as to distinguish four styles of beer – lager, pale ale, Indian pale ale and stout.

  • NMR spectroscopy in the light of supercritical fluid technologies

    Konstantin Belov – @SCFsci

    Determination of the predominant conformation of small molecules of drug in solution is one of the fundamental tasks of modern pharmaceutical and physical chemistry. Our research group “Fluid State NMR” has proposed a number of technical and methodological ways to solve this problem in the supercritical fluid environment.

  • DOSY automation

    Adolfo Botana – @botana

    Diffusion-Ordered SpectroscopY is an NMR method that requires performing a number of steps to acquire a good quality dataset. Here we demonstrate an approach to automatically setup the experiment parameters by prediction the diffusion behaviour using the SEGWE equation and automatically evaluating the presence of convection.

  • simpleNMR: A tool for small molecule assignment

    Eric Hughes – @EricHughesABC

    simpleNMR is a python program that helps students and researchers to analyze NMR data for small molecule structure analysis. It uses an interactive graphical interface to represent the NMR information (HSQC, HMBC, COSY, integrals) over an image of the proposed molecular structure.

  • Hunting evidence of aggregation in ADP and the influence of ion binding

    Kelsey Marr – @kelsey_marr

    Magnesium is the most abundant divalent cation in the cell and essential to nearly every biochemical reaction involving adenosine triphosphate and its lower energy counterpart, adenosine diphosphate. This work has focused on using 31P and 1H NMR as a tool to understand chemical and molecular interactions between ADP and Mg for evidence of nucleotide aggregation either by self-association or influenced by cations.

  • NMR metabolomics multi-tissue study of the chronic low-dose exposure to a cocktail of Persistent Organic Pollutants

    Covadonga Lucas-Torres – @covalucas

    POPs deserve a particular attention among the chemical pollutants constituting the human exposome, since due to their lipophilic properties and resistance regarding the xenobiotic metabolism, they can bio-accumulate for long periods of time in adipose tissues. This innovative untargeted metabolomics study aims investigating the low-dose and chronic internal exposure to a cocktail of POPs, on multiple tissues known to accumulate these lipophilic compounds.
