	A Pictorial Representation of Product Operator Formalism: Non-Classical Vector Diagrams for Multidimensional NMR	Details
	Description: This site presents a pictorial description of the product operator formalism using a non-classical vector approach. This approach allows for the representation of any arbitrary multidimensional or heteronuclear NMR experiment. A description of a complete set of 16 vector representations for weakly-coupled two-spin (I=1/2) systems is given followed by an extension of this set to three-spin systems. Finally the concepts of coherence transfer, multiple quantum spectroscopy and phase cycling are illustrated using 2D COSY, 2D INADEQUATE, DEPT and sensitivity-enhanced HSQC as examples. The content is geared to those that have some background in NMR spectroscopy, and is probably most appropriate for a graduate course in NMR. As this non-classical vector representation is used to pictorially depict product operators a basic understanding of product operators would serve the reader well. The text is well written and referenced. The figures being the heart of the manuscript are very well done and easy to follow with concise figure captions. The examples are well chosen and show how easily sequences can be described with this approach. In the case of the sensitivity-enhanced HSQC it is particularly effective in showing how the unobservable magnetization at the end of a normal HSQC is converted to observable magnetization by the additional pulses and thus generating the enhancement. This site can be used as a teaching tool as well as by practitioners who would like to easily deconstruct a pulse sequence for a better understanding of the �spin engineering� involved.

	NMR of Paramagnetic Proteins	Details
	Description: This site presents an overview of techniques used for structural elucidation of paramagnetic metalloproteins. In the first section experiments for detection and assignment such as COSY, TOCSY, HMQC, 1D NOE, NOE-NOSEY, superweft-NOESY, EXSY and deuterium labeling are discussed in terms of their application to paramagnetic proteins. The NOE-NOESY and superweft-NOESY experiments are of particular interest because of the way they take advantage of the relaxation differences between those protons near the metal center and those further away. The NOE-NOESY allows the mapping of connectivities between broad and hyperfine shifted signals and the signals in the diamagnetic region of the spectrum. The superweft-NOESY is used to enhance connectivities between fast relaxing protons. The remainder of this section focuses on the magnetic susceptibility tensor and its anisotropy and direction. The next section deals with converting the experimental observations into distance constraints for input into structure refinement software. A nice step-wise approach is described that results in relatively accurate structures of paramagnetic metalloproteins. The final section addresses the state of NMR of paramagnetic molecules at the time of publication and notes more recent applications of structural constraints derived from hyperfine coupling and the observation of partially oriented systems due to anisotropic magnetic susceptibility. This manuscript jumps head first into the topic at hand citing examples and discussing the application and peculiarities of the various experiments. This leads to a nice discussion of the various types of distance constraints based on hyperfine coupling (contact, pseudocontact and relaxation-based) their extraction from the data as well as the improvements each brings to structure refinement pertaining to location of the metal ion. The content is directed to the more advanced NMR user and would be suitable for an upper division or graduate level NMR class.

The video does a very good job of explaining the concept such that only a little background knowledge is required. The video is short enough (6 mins), that it would be very useful in a class setting or for students outside of class. The ultimate strength of this video is the general nature of the content that makes it appealing to a wide audience. The video may be most appropriate in a lower-level general education science course (i.e forensic science) or as a quick orientation video for instrumental analysis students prior to introducing mathematical or operational concepts. This video would also be helpful for a lay science person who wishes to learn more about mass spectrometry from a general interest perspective.
