  • High-resolution NMR spectroscopy of molecules encapsulated in low-viscosity fluids
    Patent number: 6486672
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for reducing the correlation time for global tumbling for analysis of proteins and other macromolecules by NMR spectroscopy. The method comprises placing a macromolecule, hydrated and without significant structure perturbation, within a reverse micelle in a suitable fluid medium of low viscosity. A high pressure NMR cell for use with the method of the present invention is also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
