The present work reports on an assessment of high-resolution magic angle spinning (HR-MAS) NMR spectroscopy for structural investigations of peptides dissolved in aqueous ionic liquids. Highly resolved one- and two-dimensional NMR spectra are obtained that allow for complete proton resonance assignments of both the peptides as solutes and the ionic liquids as solvents. Successful application of the HR-MAS method facilitates for the first time high-resolution NMR analysis of complex ionic liquid/peptide systems at the molecular level, mainly on the basis of chemical-shift changes.

Despite its notoriously mild phenotype, the dystrophin-deficient mdx mouse is the most common model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). By mimicking a human DMD-associated metabolic comorbidity, hyperlipidemia, in mdx mice by inactivating the apolipoprotein E gene (mdx-ApoE) we previously reported severe myofiber damage exacerbation via histology with large fibro-fatty infiltrates and phenotype humanization with ambulation dysfunction when fed a cholesterol- and triglyceride-rich Western diet (mdx-ApoE). Herein, we performed comparative lipidomic and metabolomic analyses of muscle, liver and serum samples from mdx and mdx-ApoE mice using solution and high-resolution-magic angle spinning (HR-MAS) H-NMR spectroscopy.

In this work, the HR MAS NMR (high-resolution magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance) spectroscopy technique was combined with standard histological examinations to investigate the metabolic features of high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) with a special focus on the relation between a metabolic profile and a cancer cell fraction. The studied group consisted of 44 patients with HGSOC and 18 patients with benign ovarian tumors. Normal ovarian tissue was also excised from 13 control patients.

The diversity of O-polysaccharides (O-antigens) among 28 strains isolated from ill fish has been determined by using high-resolution magic angle spinning (HR MAS) NMR spectroscopy. The new O-polysaccharide has been identified in two isolates. This new structure was investigated by H and C NMR spectroscopy and matrix-assisted laser-desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS).

The immortalised human hepatocellular HepG2 cell line is commonly used for toxicology studies as an alternative to animal testing due to its characteristic liver-distinctive functions. However, little is known about the baseline metabolic changes within these cells upon toxin exposure. We have applied H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to characterise the biochemical composition of HepG2 cells at baseline and post-exposure to hydrogen peroxide (HO).
