1) Characterization of the protein aggregation using a combination of solution
- and MAS solid-state NMR

We aim to better understand the structural mechanism that underlies protein aggregation and amyloid formation. In particular, we investigate small molecules, chaperones, and cellular components such as glycosaminoglycans that influence the aggregation behaviour and effect amyloid fibril structure and cellular toxicity. Protein systems under investigation involve the Alzheimer’s disease Aβ peptide, the diabetes type II related human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP), light chain antibody domains involved in AL-amyloidosis and serum amyloid A (SAA) involved in AA-amyloidosis. We employ solution

2) MAS solid-state NMR methods

Solid-state NMR experiments are intrinsically insensitive, since magnetization is transferred via orientation dependent anisotropic interactions. In addition, the applied rf fields are time dependent due to sample rotation. It is thus impossible to find analytical solutions. In particular, high dimensional experiments involving many magnetization transfer steps suffer from low sensitivity. Optimum control derived strategies allow to overcome this problem and increase the sensitivity of each magnetization transfer step significantly, with gains on the order of x2-3 per transfer. It will be aim of the PhD project to experimentally measure the rf field distribution in fast-spinning MAS probes using pulsed field gradients. In addition, the concept of sensitivity improvement by exploiting coherence order selection shall be implemented in homo
