The high-field spectrometer will serve the national research community in the physical and life sciences. It will add to the already significant NMR capabilities here which include the existing 850 MHz high-field solid-state NMR National Research Facility. |

Remembering Erwin HahnSadly, on Sept 22 Erwin Hahn (aged 95) passed away. In 1949, shortly after completing his Ph.D. developing pulsed NMR, Hahn discovered the spin echo. He found that after decay of the initial pulse response (now called FID) the NMR signal could be made to reappear, as if by magic, following a second pulse some time later. The reappearing signal (effectively time has been reversed) is the echo, which he modestly said was discovered accidentally because he couldn't make the signal go away and in the end had to resort to explaining the phenomenon. Hahn's scientific achievements, as well as discovering the spin echo, include development of cross-polarisation (the Hartmann-Hahn condition) and the prediction and demonstration of self-induced optical transparency. He has many scientific children, grandchildren, etc. One of them is Ray Dupree. In the light of his achievements and the strength of magnetic resonance at Warwick, the University awarded him an honorary degree in 2007. Below you can see the picture after the awarding ceremony where Erwin Hahn "hangs out" with Ray, Steven, Mark Newton and Mark Smith. |

The paper presents first ever extensive site-specific relaxation measurements on a large non-crystalline GB1-antibody complex in a few nanomole quantities and compares them to similar measurements on crystalline GB1. The study paves the way for direct characterization of dynamics in biologically important but sensitivity-limited samples of proteins within large complexes. Read here. |

The study sheds light on how the same complex motions will be manifested in fundamentally different ways in solution and solid-state relaxation. The presented approach leads to a more accurate quantification of both fast and slow protein motions that are often of crucial functional importance. The study also validates use of 13C’ R1ρ as a quantitative probe of slow dynamics. Read more here. |
