Samples for NMR

For each protein, we usually make the following samples:

  •    100% 15N, 100% 13C uniform labeled sample, for resonance assignment and NOE interpretion.
  •    100% 15N, 5% 13C labeled sample, for stereospecific assignment of VAL and LEU isopropyl moieties.

For RDC measurement:

  •    A secondary 100% 15N, 5% 13C labeled sample, for RDC measurement.

For each protein that exist as dimer in solution an extra sample may be required in addition to the samples above:

  •    1:1 unlabeled and 100% 15N, 100% 13C uniformed labeled mixed sample, for intermolecular NOE interpretation


Typical Rutgers University NMR Buffers

The protein production facility at Rutgers University uses three typical NMR buffers for the initial protein screening.


They are [1]:


  • pH 4.5 NMR buffer:  20mM NH4OAc, 100mM NaCl, 10mM DTT, 5mM CaCl2, 0.02% NaN3, 5% D2O
  • pH 5.5 NMR buffer:  20mM NH4OAc, 100mM NaCl, 10mM DTT, 5mM CaCl2, 0.02% NaN3, 5% D2O
  • pH 6.5 NMR buffer:  20mM MES, 100mM NaCl, 5 mM CaCl2, 10mM DTT, 0.02% NaN3, 5% D2O
