Phenylazide Hybrid-Silica - Polarization Platform for Dynamic Nuclear Polarization at Cryogenic Temperatures

Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Sami Jannin, Aurélien Bornet, Jonas Milani, Basile Vuichoud, David Benjamin Roger Antoine Gajan, David Baudouin

Hyperpolarization of NMR-active nuclei is key to gather high quality spectra of rare species and insensitive isotopes. We have recently established that silica-based materials containing regularly distributed nitroxyl radicals connected to the silica matri ...

Hyperpolarization of nitrogen-15 nuclei by cross polarization and dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization

Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Sami Jannin, Aurélien Bornet, Jonas Milani, Basile Vuichoud

Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) is often achieved by the direct transfer of polarization from electrons to nuclei such as C-13, induced by microwave saturation of the wings of narrow EPR lines of radicals like trityl. In the indirect approach on the oth ...

Transportable long-lived hyperpolarized samples

Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Sami Jannin, David Lyndon Emsley

A method for the preparation of a hyperpolarized solution of molecules comprises the steps: 1) suspending or coating of a micro-particulate matrix, which is comprising or consisting of the molecules, with a glass-forming solution or suspension comprising a ...

Dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization of deuterated molecules enhanced by cross-polarization

Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Sami Jannin, Jonas Milani, Sina Marhabaie, Daniel Abergel, Estel Canet Martinez, Matthias Weller

We present novel means to hyperpolarize deuterium nuclei in (CD2)-C-13 groups at cryogenic temperatures. The method is based on cross-polarization from H-1 to C-13 and does not require any radio-frequency fields applied to the deuterium nuclei. After rapid ...

Highly Repeatable Dissolution Dynamic Nuclear Polarization for Heteronuclear NMR Metabolomics

Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Sami Jannin, Aurélien Bornet, Jonas Milani, Basile Vuichoud, Xiao Ji

At natural C-13 abundance, metabolomics based on heteronuclear NMR is limited by sensitivity. We have recently demonstrated how hyperpolarization by dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (D-DNP) assisted by cross-polarization (CP) provides a reliable wa ...

Optimizing dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization

Microwave-gated dynamic nuclear polarization

Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Sami Jannin, Aurélien Bornet, Xiao Ji, Arthur César Pinon, David Lyndon Emsley, Mathieu Baudin

Dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (D-DNP) has become a method of choice to enhance signals in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Recently, we have proposed to combine cross-polarization (CP) with D-DNP to provide high polarization P(C-13) in short bu ...

Homonuclear decoupling for spectral simplification of carbon-13 enriched molecules in solution-state NMR enhanced by dissolution DNP

Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Sami Jannin, Aurélien Bornet, Diego Carnevale, Srinivas Chinthalapalli

Complex overlapping multiplets due to scalar couplings (n)J(C-13, C-13) in fully C-13-enriched molecules can be simplified by polychromatic irradiation of selected spins. The signal intensities of the remaining non-irradiated signals are proportional to th ...

Hyperpolarized Water to Study Protein-Ligand Interactions

Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Sami Jannin, Aurélien Bornet, Jonas Milani, Basile Vuichoud, Quentin Chappuis

The affinity between a chosen target protein and small molecules is a key aspect of drug discovery. Screening by popular NMR methods such as Water-LOGSY suffers from low sensitivity and from false positives caused by aggregated or denatured proteins. This ...
