β¦ Synopsis
We describe the construction of an NMR probe and cell chamber with good mixing, pH buffering, and oxygenation characteristics, which can be used for relatively dilute cell and organelle suspensions. The "P NMR spectra of acceptable signal-to-noise ratios are obtained from approximately 200 mg (protein) of tissues, and kinetic studies of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation are demonstrated. Representative spectra from rabbit kidney cortical tubules and rabbit kidney cortical mitochondria are presented.

Applications of fluorine NMR to probe long-range interactions in rigid organic molecules, namely cubanes, and to study structures and dynamics of proteins and other biological systems, are presented. F NMR parameters, especially long-range coupling constants are shown to reveal intrinsic features o
Isolated cells can be kept in steady-state conditions for very long periods of time when inserted into dialysis microfibers and perifused with a nutrient-containing solution. Using this system, stable "P NMR spectra have been obtained on dog kidney tubules for a period Of 13 h.
