111kHz CPMAS 0.7mm Probe

During the last couple of years magic angle spinning at very high spinning rates (> 100 kHz) opened new opportunities and new application fields in solid state NMR. Having shown investigations of structure and dynamics of large and biologically important proteins like the membrane protein AlkL or the enzyme human carbonic anhydrase II. The feasibility to investigate large, non-deuterated, molecules with proton-detected solid-state NMR, opens-up new opportunities for determination of structure and dynamics for biological samples. By using the 0.7mm CPMAS Probe now, Cryo-EM or high-resolution NMR studies can be efficiently supplemented helping to reveal more details in challenging samples.

But not only applications in biological systems are evolving under very fast magic angle spinning, also studies of systems with highly anisotropic features (e.g., paramagnetic environments) can benefit dramatically if studied using very fast MAS rates.

Application Examples

Highly resolved spectra from fully protonated biological samples

Proton detected CP based 1H-15N correlation from a solid biological sample.

In addition to the cross-polarization transfer (CP) for multidimensional NMR, polarization can be transferred via INEPT, as known from high resolution NMR.

Proton detected CP-based 1H-13C correlation from a solid biological sample.
Proton detected INEPT-based 13C-HSQC correlation from a solid biological sample.

High sensitivity due to proton detection enables investigation of large samples at natural abundance.

1H1H distances up to a range of 9 Å, comparable to liquid state 1H NOESY can be measured. Combined with the absence of a general limitation of molecular size in solid state NMR, the additional availability of sidechain protons opens new horizons for structural investigations.

Quantification of frictional heating at ultra-fast magic-angle spinning.

This application note provides information about how much a sample is heated by air friction when it is spun up until 111 kHz. Further it is described how to determine the sample heating for individual 0.7mm probes.


Tempspin: A new TopSpin tool to automatically compensate frictional heating.

The application notes provide a description and a manual for the new topspin tool tempspin. The tool assists by controlling the sample-temperature while magic-angle-spinning via VT and is usable for all Bruker MAS probes. The tool is part of the new TopSpin release and can be called via TopSpin command line by typing “tempspin”.
