A converse approach to the calculation of NMR shielding tensors
We introduce an alternative approach to the first-principles calculation of NMR shielding tensors. These are obtained from the derivative of the orbital magnetization with respect to the application o...

The century-old puzzle of the existence of a quasiliquid layer in the surface of ice was revisited using ice-surface binding type I antifreeze proteins with specific side chain 13C labeled methyl groups. Variable temperature dependent 13C spin lattice relaxation NMR experiments were carried out below 0 °C to probe the water molecular reorientations surrounding the methyl groups. The result shows that water molecular reorientations in ice surface are much more dynamic than those in bulk ice. This study demonstrates that antifreeze proteins can be used as a sensor to detect the dynamics of water in the surface of ice. ©2009 American Institute of Physics
