Conformational correctness

Table birds must have quick growth, good food conversion, good conformation, correct colour of flesh and feathering, good liveability and resistance to disease. 

Following are four formula isomers first drawn in the more conventional straight-chain manner and below in more conformationally correct forms drawn for a compound, 2,3-dichlorohexane, with two stereocenters. 

Analysis of the microwave spectrum of piperidine and of A-deuteropiper-idine suggests that the strongest Q-branch series together with the associated R-branch lines arise from the N-H-axial conformer.144 From this absorption and from a weaker series of Q branches, /eq//aj (the relative intensities of the type-A lines of /V-Hcq and N-Hax conformers corrected for the frequency factor) was estimated as 1/6 at — 34°C. This ratio is related to AE = En Hax - jv-Hcq by the expression... 

These charged atoms will clearly have the valencies shown, conforming correctly to the bond patterns (I) and (II) above. 

All force fields shown in Figure 1, except UFF, predict the most stable conformer correctly. UFF gives a zero energy difference between the gauche and the anti conformer and thus cannot reproduce this basic property for the conformational analysis of hydrocarbons. Other force fields that calculate gauche-anti energy differences in error of 0.5 kcal/mol or more include CVFF, AMBER, and TRIPOS 5.21.

Uncertainties caused by issues with the zero-point vibrational energy and the conformer corrections rival, and probably exceed, those directly related to the electronic structure treatment. The overall uncertainty is somewhat difficult to quantify, but a semi-quantitative estimate would range from about 0.5 kcal/mol for the smaller, to about 1 kcal/mol for the larger, amino acids.

In addition to predicting the backbone conformation correctly, one also needs to predict the conformation of the attached amino acid residue side chains. The rotational conformations of these side chains are referred to as rotamers. The side-chain orientation of amino acid residues typically occupy one of several discrete conformations.The maximum number of possible rotamers for a protein is...

The chemical shifts of sp -hybridized carbon atoms in the vicinity of double bonds can be estimated using the additivity rule given on page 78. The conformational correction factors, K, for y-substituents of cis- vs. trans-disubstituted alkenes differ by 6 ppm because the relative position of these substituents is fixed by the double bond. 

The chemical shift of the parent compound (e.g., 22.9 for cyclobutane, 25.6 for cyclopentane, and 27.1 ppm for cyclohexane) and the same increments as for alkanes (see Chapter 4.1) can be used to estimate the chemical shifts of sp -hybridized carbon atoms of alicyclic compounds. Appropriate use of the conformational correction terms, K (page 79), is especially important with axial and equatorial substituents in cyclohexanes. The additivity rule is, however, not suitable for estimating chemical shifts of substituted cyclopropanes.
