A Nature Communications paper Folding of xylan onto cellulose fibrils in plant cell walls revealed by solid-state NMR showed that xylan, which forms a threefold helical screw in solution, flattens into a twofold helical screw ribbon to bind intimately to cellulose microfibrils in the plant cell wall solving a long-standing mystery of how key sugars in cells bind to form strong, indigestible materials. The research, led by Ray Dupree and his son Paul (University of Cambridge), was highlighted in a University press release entitled ‘Glue’ that makes plant cell walls strong could hold the key to wooden skyscrapers.

The impact on the UK of not being able to shape and influence EU science policy – notably, pushing for the primacy of scientific excellence – will be detrimental.”

Hahn echo

Remembering Erwin Hahn

Sadly, on Sept 22 Erwin Hahn (aged 95) passed away.

In 1949, shortly after completing his Ph.D. developing pulsed NMR, Hahn discovered the spin echo. He found that after decay of the initial pulse response (now called FID) the NMR signal could be made to reappear, as if by magic, following a second pulse some time later. The reappearing signal (effectively time has been reversed) is the echo, which he modestly said was discovered accidentally because he couldn't make the signal go away and in the end had to resort to explaining the phenomenon.

Hahn's scientific achievements, as well as discovering the spin echo, include development of cross-polarisation (the Hartmann-Hahn condition) and the prediction and demonstration of self-induced optical transparency.

He has many scientific children, grandchildren, etc. One of them is Ray Dupree. In the light of his achievements and the strength of magnetic resonance at Warwick, the University awarded him an honorary degree in 2007. Below you can see the picture after the awarding ceremony where Erwin Hahn "hangs out" with Ray, Steven, Mark Newton and Mark Smith.

A paper by Jonathan Lamley, Matthew Lougher and Józef Lewandowski in collaboration with Stephan Grzesiek's group (Basel, Switzerland) on combined analysis of multifield 13C' and 15N relaxation to characterise protein backbone dynamics was published in PCCP. The study sheds light on how the same complex motions will be manifested in fundamentally different ways in solution and solid-state relaxation. The presented approach leads to a more accurate quantification of both fast and slow protein motions that are often of crucial functional importance. The study also validates use of 13C’ R as a quantitative probe of slow dynamics. Read more here.
