  2. Exciting news for the Dutch uNMR-NL network of NMR facilities: a new grant from NWO will enable critical upgrades and updates to multiple of our NMR sites across the country. This is part of the so-called ROADMAP funding mechanism for high-end instrumentation. #nmrchat #ssnmr

  4. Spent today at Radboud University in Nijmegen for the PhD defense of Angel Wong. Great job with lots of cool #ssNMR and a very detailed scientific discussion. Congrats to Dr Wong!

  5. These are both coming from some of #biophysics oriented research groups of the @[email protected] of the @[email protected] . With special thanks to committee member Henrike Heise who came from Germany for Raffaella’s defense and treated us to a great #ssNMR and DNP talk yesterday

  6. .. it is from a very nice collaboration with the group of Alessandra Operamolla from the University of Pisa. We looked at cellulose nanocrystals with conjugated lipase enzymes, using #ssNMR and other techniques. The #ssNMR was supported by @[email protected] transnational access (TNA).

  7. New collaborative paper from the lab: “Candida rugosa Lipase Bioconjugation to Cellulose Nanocrystals with High Immobilization Efficiency: Comparison with Nonspecific Approach” in the @[email protected] journal Biomacromolecules. doi.org/10.1021/acs.... Another #glycotime by #ssNMR project…

  8. With funding from the Dutch NWO, we are looking for a postdoc with expertise in #DNP and/or #ssNMR experiments/hardware. One focus in the work will be to follow-up on our work on in-situ illuminated ssNMR for studying #photochemistry processes. #nmrchat werkenbij.rug.nl/vacature/pos...

  10. All in all, we hope that the information about the probe/methods can be useful to other #ssNMR groups interested in this topic. Moreover, we expect this approach to be useful for many other applications and studies, with some more of our own work coming…. #nmrchat #photochemistry #optogenetics

  11. In this paper we describe how we used in-situ illumination during #ssNMR to probe photochemical processes. This is enabled by a modified MAS NMR probe from Bruker Biospin @brukercorporation.bsky.social in which a light fiber enables sample irradiation using a LED light source. ….

  12. Well, it’s a wrap! The 2025 Alpine meeting on magnetic resonance in solids has concluded today. As usual I really enjoyed it (and learned some interesting new things). Thanks to all speakers from all over the world, as well as the organizers! #ssNMR

  13. Traveling to Chamonix for the Alpine meeting on magnetic resonance in solids today. See you there? #ssnmr

  19. Our latest preprint is now online at @chemrxiv.org : “Probing photochemically-induced dynamic transitions by magic-angle-spinning #NMR combined with in-situ irradiation.” See: doi.org/10.26434/che... This is part of our effort toward using in situ irradiation in our #ssNMR studies. ..

  21. .. Indeed, this is possible (though not entirely easy), and we observe how MW8 antibody binds the fibril surface and modulates the dynamics of different (exposed) parts of the protein fragments. Combining #ssNMR with #TEM we observe how antibodies cluster fibrils together into larger clumps..

  22. .. In the paper we speculate that this may impact on the properties of the fibrils, through a variety of mechanisms. This remains to be studied in more detail. For now, we hope that these types of #ssNMR studies may be useful not only for understanding conformation-selective antibodies …

  23. .. Despite the importance of understanding and visualizing such antibody-fibril interactions, this remains challenging. We deployed our #ssNMR toolkit to see whether we can shed light on how a well-known huntingtin-binding antibody finds its epitope in the fuzzy coat of huntingtin clumps ..

  24. This is for a new #ssNMR and #DNP based facility that serves the needs of a national consortium of researchers. The instrumentation will be housed at the @rug.nl in the @zernike-institute.bsky.social , but the science behind it is coming from our entire consortium across the Netherlands.

  25. New preprint now on #bioRxiv: “Probing How Anti-Huntingtin Antibodies Bind The Fibrillar Fuzzy Coat Using Solid-State NMR” by Raffaella Parlato and colleagues.” We used #ssNMR to look how antibodies selectively bind aggregated HTTex1 #amyloid fibrils. doi.org/10.1101/2025...
