Question
Asked 7 October 2015

Does anyone know the approximate price of a 900 MHz NMR spectrometer?

I could not find any data about it.

Mr. Orgovan,
There is better to request direct in Bruker Company (https://www.bruker.com/de/products/mr/nmr.html?print=1).

According to  John Chung, Director of Biomolecular NMR Facilities at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) , the price is "several millions" $.

we have one at my institution  ultra wide bore (105 mm) 900 MHz and we spend over over $10M.
we recently acquired a 21T ICR magnet (equivalent 900 MHz) for $12M. standard bore are probably a lot cheaper ($3 or $4 M).
Depending on the bore (and the accessories, console, probes...), the price will vary dramatically...

I am trying to perform nbo calculations on an optimized structure using Gaussian software. I've included my input file as well as abbreviated NBO orbital interaction output. The separation of this molecule into unit 1 and unit 2 excludes orbital interactions of interest. Is there a way to force NBO calculations on a single molecular unit that includes all of the atoms in the structure?

How to you avoid the protein truncation in E.Coli expression?

My protein of interest is an intrinsic disordeed protein. I tried BL21 (DE3) CBV-101, and C43. We have tried 18C overnight, 30C 5h and 37C 3h expression. The BL21 and CBV got killed because the protein leaked and is toxic to these two strains. C43 did not have a great amount of leak and is very healthy at the time of induction They all generate great IPTG inductions. Cells lysis was done by lysis buffer of T4lysozyme incubation with triton 100, protease inhibitor, PMSF 1mM, BME 1mM, 10%glycerol high salt buffer and room temperature shake for 15minutes, followed by sonication 40% amp 15s on 45s off for 5 cycles on ice. The cells were centrifuged at 18000rpm 1H. After His NTA column (by the way I am using the pSMT3 vector which has RBS followed by His-SUMO tag), 50mM,100mM, and 500mM imidazole elution were done. However, I do see my protein came out at 50mM using Western blot, and 100mM had more come out. Surprisingly no protein came out at 500mM imidaozle. While the100mM imidazole elution give me a relatively pure protein, the protein has three bands, a band of its own, a band right below(also same protein after western blot), and a band 10+Kda below. This lower band can also be my protein but because my antibody did not capture it, I wasn’t so sure but my antibody capture the C end so that could still be my protein. All three bands are tightly close and FPLC cannot be possible to purify them.
I am curious that at this situation, if I want to run a NMR do I have to have the pure protein without truncation? Or it is fine to probe the NMR? How do you avoid the truncation after all? Do you have experience on this type of protein and how do you handle them? do you think the truncation was caused by protease or RBS binding?
