Methods have previously been developed to measure detergent concentration in membrane-protein samples, but most have significant limitations, such as requiring specialized equipment or consuming a significant amount of precious sample. This work explores the use of 2,6-dimethylphenol in a phenol-sulfuric

The luminescence properties of tris(1,2-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) (Ru(bpy)(3)(2+)), included in different organically modified silicate gel matrixes were investigated. Spin and dip-coated thin films were prepared from methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMOS) and methyltriethoxysilane (MTEOS). A blue shift in the emission spectrum of the MLCT excited

Modified Jeener solid-echo pulse sequences are proposed for the measurement of the proton dipolar spin-lattice relaxation time, T1D, of motionally restricted (solid-like) components in the presence of mobile molecular species, such as encountered in biological tissue. A phase-cycled composite-pulse sequence
