Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All acquired FIDs were Fourier transformed, phase corrected and aligned to the chemical shift of DSS-d6 at 0 ppm using Varian software VNMRJ version 2.2C (Agilent Technologies). The 1H NMR spectra of cell extracts were then baseline-corrected using the Processor module of the Chenomx NMR suite version 7.1 (Chenomx Inc.). Assignments of NMR signals were based on total correlation spectroscopy (2D 1H-1H TOCSY; Figure S9), spiking experiments, and comparison to previous reports. The identification of metabolites and determination of concentration were performed using the Profiler module of Chenomx NMR suite version 7.1. The data were then normalized to the total protein concentration, as determined by the Bradford assay. The resulting 1H NMR data were imported into SIMCA-P version 12.0 (Umetrics) for chemometric analyses. All imported data sets were mean-centered and scaled to unit-variance, which gives base weight to the data sets. Subsequently, supervised regression analysis was conducted using PLS-DA to examine the differences among groups. The fit of the model to the data was described by R2 and Q2 values (where R2 describes the goodness of fit and Q2 indicates predictability). A VIP column plot was generated to identify the metabolites responsible for the differences among groups.

Quantifying Dynamic Changes in Relaxation Rate

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Under experimental conditions, ie, using a dual-echo gradient echo sequence (the “mgems” sequence in the Agilent VnmrJ library), and assuming that the flip angle is known across the brain of the rodent, an estimate of the time trace of ΔR1 can be calculated from the following equation:
S(t)=M0Sin(θ)(1eTR*R1(t))eTE*R2*(t)1Cos(θ)eTR*R1(t) where S(t) is the signal intensity at time t, M0 is the equilibrium magnetization of the protons, θ is the flip angle, TR is the repetition time between pulses, TE is the echo time (the time between the center of the excitation pulse and the readout gradient), and R*2(t) is the transverse relaxation rate. Equation 2 can be solved for R1(t):
R1(t)=1TRln[1(S(t)Cos(θ)M0eTET2*Sin(θ))1(S(t)M0eTET2*Sin(θ))]

NMR Characterization of RNA Structure

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Spectra were recorded with the RNA either in a 100% 2H2O or 5% 2H2O, 95% H2O. 1D 1H and 2D NOESY, DQF-COSY and TOCSY NMR spectra were recorded with the natural abundance sample. 2D 13C and 15N HSQC and HCN spectra were recorded with the isotopically enriched sample. 3D NOESY-HSQC and HCCH-TOCSY spectra were also acquired, but gave poor S/N ratio due to low RNA concentration. Cross-peak intensities were therefore evaluated from 2D NOESY spectra.
All spectra were acquired on an Agilent VNMRS 600 MHz spectrometer equipped with a cryogenic probe. DPFGSE water suppression scheme was used for suppression of the water signal. All experiments were performed at temperatures of 0, 25 or 37 °C. NMR spectra were processed and analysed using VNMRJ (Agilent), NMRpipe and Sparky software (UCSF).

DOSY Spectroscopy for Water Diffusion

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
As described in our previous work [44 (link)], Diffusion-ordered NMR Spectroscopy (DOSY) measurements are carried out on a Varian Agilent NMR spectrometer (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) operating at 600 MHz. Gradient strengths (Gz) are varied from 500 to 32,500 G/cm. The gradient pulse duration (δ) is kept constant to 2 ms while the diffusion delay (Δ) is increased from 7 to 1000 ms. After Fourier transformation and baseline correction, DOSY spectra are processed and analysed using Varian software VNMRJ (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) in order to obtain the values of water self-diffusion coefficient, which is then plotted as a function of Δ.

MRI experiments were done using a 4.7 T small animal MRI (Agilent Technologies Inc., Santa Clara, CA, USA) and acquired using VnmrJ (Agilent Technologies). After scout scans, isotropic 3D T1-weighted scans were used to detect gadolinium using the following parameters: TR = 9.3 ms; TE = 4.7 ms; flip angle = 20°; field of view = 40 × 20 × 20 mm; resolution = 256 × 128 × 128; averages = 4; voxel size≈156 µm3. These resulted in a time scan of approximately 11 min. Animals were anesthetized using isoflurane administered through a nose-cone, and 10 µl of gadolinium was injected into the cisterna magna at a rate of 2 µl/min. Respiratory rates were monitored to ensure normal physiology. A baseline scan was acquired prior to gadolinium injection, and image processing was done using FIJI software.

NMR spectra were collected at 298 K using either Varian INOVA 600 MHz or INOVA 800 MHz NMR spectrometers (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA), both equipped with cryogenically cooled 1H, 13C, 15N triple-resonance probeheads with z-gradient coils. For 1H NMR spectra, measured at 600 MHz, the recombinant BilRI was diluted in 95%/5% H2O/D2O, 50 mM NaCl, pH 7 buffer in a Shigemi microcell (250 μL). The final BilRI concentration was 4.6 mM. The 1H spectrum was sampled with 20,438 complex points using 64 transients per free induction decay (FID), resulting in an acquisition time of 500 ms in the 1H dimension. The two-dimensional 1H-15N HSQC spectrum of BilRI at pH 5 was measured at the 800 MHz 1H frequency using 128 and 852 complex points in 15N and 1H dimensions, corresponding to acquisition times of 49 ms and 85.2 ms, respectively. A total of 256 transients per FID were used to assure sufficient signal accumulation. The total experimental time was 18 h. Spectra were processed with VnmrJ (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA) and analyzed with Sparky (T. D. Goddard and D. G. Kneller, University of California, San Francisco, CA, USA) software packages.
