- Nach selektiver Markierung mit 17O und 15N wurden mithilfe von 15N{17O}-REAPDOR-NMR-Spektroskopie intermolekulare C17O⋅⋅⋅H15N-Wasserstoffbrücken in Ac-Aβ(16–22)-NH2- (siehe Schema) und Aβ(11–25)-Amyloidfibrillen untersucht, die mit der Alzheimer-Krankheit in Verbindung gebracht werden. Die Methode, die eine Bestätigung für die Struktur dieser Fibrillen lieferte, könnte auch im Zusammenhang mit anderen biologischen Proben nützlich sein.

- Two crystalline polymorphs of a binuclear tris(di-n-butyldithiocarbamato)bismuth(III) complex, I and II, with an empirical formula of [Bi{S2CN(n-C4H9)2}3] were synthesised and characterised by X-ray diffraction (XRD), solid-state NMR and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. At the supramolecular level, these mononuclear molecular units interact in pairs via secondary Bi⋯S bonds, yielding binuclear formations of [Bi2{S2CN(n-C4H9)2}6]. The polymorph I () contains two isomeric non-centrosymmetric binuclear molecules of [Bi2{S2CN(n-C4H9)2}6], which are related to each other as conformers, therefore having four structurally inequivalent bismuth atoms and twelve inequivalent dithiocarbamate ligands. In contrast, the structurally simpler polymorph II (P21/n) exists as a single molecular form of the corresponding centrosymmetric binuclear formation, comprising two structurally equivalent bismuth atoms and three structurally different dithiocarbamate groups. The polymorphs I and II were found to be interconvertible by altering the solvent system during the recrystallisation process. Sun et al. (2012) has reported a crystalline form of the title compound which resembles, but is not identical with, polymorph II. Experimental solid-state 13C and 15N cross-polarisation (CP) magic-angle-spinning (MAS) NMR spectra of both polymorphs I and II were in accord with the direct structural data on these complexes. Assignments of the resonance lines in the solid-state 13C and 15N NMR spectra were assisted by chemical shift calculations of the crystals using periodic DFT.

- A combined approach, using Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICR-MS) and solid-state NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance), shows a high degree of polymorphism exhibited by Aβ species in forming hydrogen-bonded networks. Two Alzheimer’s Aβ peptides, Ac-Aβ16–22-NH2 and Aβ11–25, selectively labeled with 17O and 15N at specific amino acid residues were investigated. The total amount of peptides labeled with 17O as measured by FTICR-MS enabled the interpretation of dephasing observed in 15N{17O}REAPDOR solid-state NMR experiments. Specifically, about one-third of the Aβ peptides were found to be involved in the formation of a specific >C═17O···H–15N hydrogen bond with their neighbor peptide molecules, and we hypothesize that the rest of the molecules undergo ± n off-registry shifts in their hydrogen bonding networks.
