Assignement of nmr resonances

Assignments of NMR resonances obtained from families of compounds at equilibrium to specific structure-building segments appear to be somewhat more complicated than in the previous case. But here also methods have been devised which permit an unequivocal assignment and which will be discussed in the following sections. 

The assignment of NMR resonances can be difficult. In order to maximize sensitivity, it is usual to measure NMR spectra with complete proton decoupling. The proton coupling may be retained with some increase in sensitivity by the use of off-center double resonance... 

The assignment of NMR resonances (1H together with 15N and 13C when possible) to specific atoms or atom groups in the protein. 

The observation of ligand-induced NMR CSPs usually defines the interaction site of a ligand reasonably well, if the assignment of NMR resonances is... 

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a powerful tool that can provide the binding sites of Ugand-DNA interactions at the molecular level. A prerequisite for the examination of ligand-DNA complexes is assignment of all resonances in the NMR spectra of the free DNA and the ligand and of both components in the complex. 

Ehret-Henry et al. [220] have shown that H NMR spectra can be used without chromatographic analysis, to shorten the total identification time necessary, and as a fingerprint of all the extractable nonvolatile compounds present in food packaging material (safety control). Figure 5.10 shows a H NMR spectrum (in CDCI3 with TMS as internal standard) of a Soxhlet extract of a 35 pirn PP film (after solvent evaporation). The assignments of the resonances of Irgafos 168 and its decomposition products were confirmed by a 31P- H 2D correlation NMR experiment [220],...

A 13C NMR study of the reaction of amines with pyrylium salts includes assignments of the resonances of a range of substituted pyrylium salts (81CS(18)256). 

In the following the proton NMR spectra of some low spin ferric compounds are presented, and the assignment of the resonances to specific protons in the molecules will be discussed.

This paper presents quantum mechanical studies of the, 5N and, 3C chemical shifts in both the N7-H and N9-H tautomeric forms of purine. Quantum mechanical calculations of the chemical shifts were used to assign the NMR resonances and the spatial orientation of the principal axes of the chemical shift tensors. Calculations in purine and in a pyridine-methanol complex model provide insights on the importance of the intermolecular interactions on the chemical shifts of the nucleic acid bases. 

In a recent paper, 17 amino acids commonly present in Sauvignon wine from the Coastal region of Croatia were determined by complete assignment of their resonances by the use of aH and 13C NMR spectroscopy (Kosir and Kidric, 2001). In 2003, the metabolite content of the skin and pulp of mature berry extracts for four wines from the Bordeaux area were analyzed (Pereira et ah, 2005). Differences readily observed were due to an absence of polyphenol content in pulp extracts (Fig. 4.20). PCA highlighted that sugars were mainly responsible for cluster separation among samples in both types of extracts. 

HPLC analysis was carried out using a 250 x 4.6 mm id Spherisorb ODS-2 column at 35°C with elution using isocratic D20/phosphate buffer at pH 2.5 for 5 min, followed by a linear gradient of acetonitrile to 50% after 50 min with UV monitoring of the eluent peaks at 225 nm. The NMR measurements were carried out with solvent suppression at a H NMR frequency of 600 MHz. The assignment of the resonances were based on those of standard compounds such as A-A-A-OH and Y-Y-Y-OH using standard 1-dimensional (ID) spectroscopy and 2-dimensional (2D) heteronuclear correlation methods such as and H-15N HMQC spectra.
