Abstract

Considerable excitement has been aroused by recent new methods for speeding up multidimensional NMR experiments by radically modifying the normal time-domain sampling protocols. These new schemes include the filter diagonalization method, GFT-NMR, the single-scan two-dimensional technique, Hadamard spectroscopy, and a proposal based on projection-reconstruction of three-dimensional spectra. All these methods deliver appreciable improvements in the speed of data acquisition and show promise for speeding up multidimensional NMR of proteins. This perspective aims to describe these important new procedures in simple terms and to comment on their advantages and possible limitations.

Solid-state 15N NMR studies of tobacco leaves.

Nitrogen-containing compounds are one important class of constituents in tobacco because of various pharmacological and biological properties. Three types of tobacco leaves (burley, bright, and oriental) were studied using solid-state (15)N NMR cross polarization with magic-angle spinning, dipolar dephasing and five pi replicated magic angle turning (FIREMAT) experiments. The results show that burley tobacco leaves contain significantly more pyridinic nitrogen than that of bright or oriental tobacco leaves. The principal values of (15)N chemical shift tensors of nitrogen functional groups were obtained from the FIREMAT data. Possible assignments of solid-state (15)N NMR resonances were made using nitrogen chemical shift tensors in some model compounds or isotropic chemical shift values from liquid NMR results. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first solid-state (15)N NMR study of tobacco plant material.

Zipper-featured delta-peptide foldamers driven by donor--acceptor interaction. Design, synthesis, and characterization.

Donor-acceptor interaction between electron-rich 1,5-dioxynaphthalene (DAN) and electron-deficient pyromellitic diimide (PDI) has been utilized to induce the formation of a new kind of zipper-featured delta-peptide foldamers. Seven l-ornithine-based delta-peptides 1a-g, in which one to three DNA and PDI units are incorporated to the two ends of the peptide backbones, respectively, have been designed and prepared by the standard liquid-phase synthetic method. (1)H NMR, UV-vis, and fluorescent quenching studies reveal that all the delta-peptides adopt folding conformations in nonpolar chloroform and polar DMF as a result of intramolecular donor-acceptor interaction between the DAN and PDI units. The folding states become more compact for the peptide skeletons possessing more donor-acceptor interacting sites. Variable-temperature UV-vis experiments indicate that, although the folding is a dynamic process, the folding state can remain even at 150 degrees C in DMF. Circular dichroism (CD) investigations reveal that the new generation of delta-peptides have similar folding patterns. A zipper-featured folding motif has been proposed for the new generation of delta-peptide foldamers. Molecular modeling has generated two most stable folding states for the longest delta-peptide 1g, with an energy difference of 26.80 kcal/mol.

High-resolution NMR spectra in inhomogeneous fields via IDEAL (intermolecular dipolar-interaction enhanced all lines) method.

Intermolecular double-quantum technique is used to yield high-resolution NMR spectra in inhomogeneous magnetic fields. The method exploits the distant dipolar interactions between the solvent and solute nuclear spins. Chemical shifts, J couplings, multiplicity patterns, and relative areas are retained with the method. Except for a 1.5-fold change in the scale factor of J couplings, other parameters are consistent with those extracted from one-dimensional spectra obtained in a homogeneous field.
