DMSO Solubility Assessment for Fragment-Based Screening

Determination of Sample Concentrations by PULCON NMR Spectroscopy

PULCON (Pulse Length Based Concentration Determination) is a powerful, versatile, non-invasive, and accurate technique for measuring solution concentrations during routine NMR spectroscopy. As solutes are quantified directly by their unique resonances, this technique avoids weight-based errors caused by contaminants (e.g. moisture), allows NMR samples to be directly employed in biological assays, and is particularly useful for quantifying small molecules, peptides, unstable molecules, and other materials that are difficult to weigh or handle. This article provides an introductory guide for biological and medicinal chemists, and highlights the diversity of applications.
