Structural studies of biomaterials using double-quantum solid-state NMR spectroscopy

Article Abstract:

The theory and practice of double-quantum solid-state NMR (ssNMR) structure-determination techniques used to determine the secondary structures of surface-adsorbed peptides and proteins are described. The NMR data on peptides that are designed to adsorb from aqueous solutions onto highly porous hydrophobic surfaces are reviewed.
