title: A high-pressure, high-resolution NMR probe for experiments at 500 MHz.
abstract: A novel high-pressure, high-resolution NMR probe is described which operates at a frequency of 500 MHz. The design features an alternative RF coil (8 mm sample tube) for high frequency, sensitivity, probe power, and resolution (< 3.0 x 10(-9)). The probe is capable of pressures to at least 5 kbar over a temperature range of -30 to 80 degreesC, and has a double-tuned 1H/2H circuit which can tune at 1H frequencies of either 300 or 500 MHz. The sensitivity of the 300-MHz circuit is over twice that of previous 10-mm high-pressure NMR probe designs, while at 500 MHz the sensitivity is nearly five times that of previous 300-MHz pressure probes. Potential biochemical applications are demonstrated by 2D NOESY spectra of a Troponin C mutant.
