Abstract14N nuclear quadrupole resonance spectroscopy, detected with a Superconducting Quantum Interference Device, makes possible the study of nitrogen environments in amino acids and small peptides. The present experiments characterize: 1) the effects of intermolecular interactions upon the amino nitrogen of serine upon cocrystallization of the stereoisomers in a range of concentrations; 2) the changes of the amino and imidazole nitrogen environments brought about by combining L-Alanine and L-Histidine into the dipeptide L-Ala-L-His.

Abstract The dc SQUID (Superconducting QUantum Interference Device) can be configured as an ampli­fier of spin-echos with a noise temperature of approximately 10 mK (f/1 M Hz) at an operating temperature of 1.5 K. A Fourier transform spectrometer based on a SQUID with a superconducting input circuit and operated in a flux-locked loop is used to obtain nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) spectra in a broadband m ode over the bandwith 0 -1 M Hz. Spin-echo spectra of 14N in NH4ClO4 reveal sharp NQR resonances, obtained simultaneously, at 17.4, 38.8 and 56.2 kHz. At 1.5 K, the measured longitudinal and transverse relaxation times T1 and T2 for the 38.8 kHz transition are 63 ± 3 ms and 22±2 ms, respectively.
