The hydrogen in nominally anhydrous mineral is known to be associated with lattice defects, but it also can exist in the form of water and hydroxyl groups on the large surface of the nanoscale particles. In this study, we investigate the effectiveness of 1H solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy as a robust experimental method to quantify the hydrogen atomic environments of amorphous silica nanoparticles with varying relative humidity. Amorphous silica nanoparticles were packed into NMR rotors in a temperature-humidity controlled glove box, then stored in different atmospheric conditions with 25% and 70% relative humidity for 2~10 days until 1H NMR experiments, and a slight difference was observed in 1H NMR spectra. These results indicate that amount of hydrous species in the sample packed in the NMR rotor is rarely changed by the external atmosphere. The amount of hydrogen atom, especially the amount of physisorbed water may vary in the range of ~10% due to the temporal and spatial inhomogeneity of relative humidity in the glove box. The quantitative analysis of 1H NMR spectra shows that the amount of hydrogen atom in amorphous silica nanoparticles linearly increases as the relative humidity increases. These results imply that the sample sealing capability of the NMR rotor is sufficient to preserve the hydrous environments of samples, and is suitable for the quantitative measurement of water content of ultrafine nominally anhydrous minerals depending on the atmospheric relative humidity. We expect that 1H solid-state NMR method is suitable to investigate systematically the effect of surface area and crystallinity on the water content of diverse nano-sized nominally anhydrous minerals with varying relative humidity.

5,7-Diaryl-3,4,6-trihydronaphthalen-2-ones have been synthesized from 3,5-diaryl-cyclohex-2-en-1- ones and methyl vinyl ketone in the presence of sodium ethoxide. The products were characterized by IR, UV-Visible, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and mass spectral techniques. To confirm 1H and 13C signals, HSQC spectrum was recorded and analyzed.

We wished to create a set of small molecular weight PDZ domain ligands that may be used in functional studies on the proteins AF6, PSD-95 and Shank. As a starting point, the Shank3 PDZ domain was cloned, purified, and characterized the structure of Shank3 PDZ domain by 1D $^1H-NMR$. The chemical shift dispersion of the proton signals indicates that the purified Shank3 PDZ protein is very pure and globally well folded. Currently, we are working on improving the yield of the protein production for complete NMR structural analysis of the Shank3 PDZ domain.

Specific molecular recognition of cyclodextrin and aspirin was determined. A stable 1:1 inclusion complex was established in solution. The distinct structure of inclusion complex was elucidated by FT-IR, FAB-MS, UV, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Based on the 1H NMR data, a time-averaged conformation of $\alpha$-cyclodextrin exhibited significant catalytic activity toward the hydrolysis of aspirin in alkaline solution.

Two dineolignans (1,2) with nitric oxide inhibitory activities were isolated from Saururus chinensis (Saururaceae) using silica gel column chromatography. Although the structures, saucernetin-7 (1) and -8 (2), have been already reported, NMR assignment of the two compounds was completed aided by 2D-NMR spectroscopy including $^1H-^1H$ COSY, $^1H-^{13}C$ COSY, HMBC and NOESY NMR spectra. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited significant nitride oxide inhibitory activity in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells with $IC_{50}$ values of $11.3{\mu}M\;and\;7.1{\mu}M$, respectively.

To characterize the molecular structure of BzO-gal synthesized using Escherichia coli ${\beta}$-gal, NMR ($^1H$- and $^{13}C$-) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry of BzO-gal were conducted. $^1H$ NMR spectrum of BzO-gal showed multiple peaks corresponding to the galactosyl group, which is an evidence of galactosylation on BzOH. Five proton peaks around the aromatic region at ${\delta}_H$ 7.43 ~ 7.24 ppm and 2 peaks from ${\delta}_H$ 4.93 and 4.67 ppm were evidence of the presence of the benzyl group. Seven proton peaks at ${\delta}_H$ 4.32 ~ 3.46 ppm showed the presence of a monosaccharide and were indicative of galactosylation on BzOH. $^{13}C$ NMR spectrum also revealed the presence of 11 carbons suggestive of BzO-gal. The mass value (sodium adduct ion of BzO-gal, m/z = 293.0994) from mass spectrometry analysis of BzO-gal, and $^1H$ and $^{13}C$ NMR spectral data were in good agreement with the expecting structure of BzO-gal. We are expecting that through future study it will eventually be able to develop a new additive of low cytotoxicity.

1, 2-Hexanediol galactoside (HD-gal) has been synthesized from 1, 2-hexanediol (HD), a cosmetic preservative, using recombinant Escherichia coli ${\beta}$-galactosidase (${\beta}$-gal) at the high lactose concentration (300 g/l). To confirm the molecular structure of synthesized HD-gal, NMR ($^1H$- and $^{13}C$-) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry of HD-gal were conducted. $^1H$ NMR spectrum of HD-gal showed multiple peaks corresponding to the galactocyl group, which is an evidence of galactocylation on HD. Downfield proton peaks at ${\delta}_H$ 4.44 ppm and multiple peaks from ${\delta}_H$3.96~3.58 ppm were indicative of galactocylation on HD. Up field proton peaks at ${\delta}_H$ 1.60~1.35 ppm and 0.92 ppm showed the presence of $CH_2$ and $CH_3$ protons of HD. $^{13}C$ NMR spectrum revealed the presence of 21 carbons suggestive of ${\alpha}$- and ${\beta}$-anomers of HD-gal. Among 12 carbon peaks from each anomers, the 3 peaks at dC 68.6, 60.9 and 13.2 ppm were assigned to be overlapped showing only 21 peaks out of total 24 peaks. The mass value (protonated HD-gal, m/z = 281.1601) from mass spectrometry analysis of HD-gal, and $^1H$ and $^{13}C$ NMR spectral data were in well agreement with the expecting structure of HD-gal. For further study, the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of HD-gal against bacteria will be investigated, and, in addition, cytotoxicity to human skin cells of HD-gal will be examined. It is expected that it will eventually be able to develop a new cosmetic preservative, which have low cytotoxicity against human skin cell and maintains antimicrobial effect.

In liquids NMR, $^{1}H$ is the most widely observed nucleus, which is not the case in solids NMR. The reason is due to the strong homo-dipolar interactions between the hydrogen atoms which mask the useful chemical shift information. Therefore we must remove the strong homo-dipolar interactions in order to get structural information, which can be investigated by the isotropic chemical shift. There are two ways of obtaining it. One is the ultra-fast MAS of ca. 70 kHz spinning speed, which has become available only recently. The other way is devising a pulse sequence which can remove the strong homo-dipolar interaction. In the latter way, MAS with a moderate spinning rate of a few kHz, is enough to remove the chemical shift anisotropy. In this report, 1D-CRAMPS and 2D MASFSLG techniques are utilized and their results will be compared. This kind of highresolution $^{1}H$ NMR for solids, should become a valuable analytical tool in the understanding and the developing of a new class of hydrogen storage materials. Here ammonium borane $-NH_{3}BH_{3}$, whose hydrogen content is high, is used as a sample.
