Double-quantum correlation spectroscopy

The silk produced by these worms displayed — 15% labeling of the poly-alanine chains, while the glycine-rich domains only reached a five times lower labeling fraction. For these samples, double-quantum correlation spectroscopy (DOQSY) experimentswere performed. The 2D DOQSY spectra prove to be highly sensitive to the peptide... 

Applying the idea of using multiple quantum coherence to correlate protons has also been explored. Mated and Freeman [60] reported the first experimental demonstration of proton double quantum correlated spectroscopy. The Fi axis in these experiments is used to present H chemical shift in the usual fashion. In contrast, the Fj axis is used for the double quantum frequency axis. Protons correlated to one another via double quantum coherence will exhibit a response in Fj at the algebraic sum of the offsets of the coupled resonances relative to the transmitter frequency. A scant few apphcations have been reported including an exploratory study of strychnine (2) [61] and the structural characterization of the marine natural product plumericin [62],... 

P— P correlations in aluminophosphates, and Si— oi correlations in sodium borosihcate glass and silicate-1. Interestingly, they demonstrated covariance processing in double-quantum correlation experiments employing POST-C7 [71], BABA [72], and INADEQUATE [73]. In double-quantum 2D spectroscopy, time evolution along the indirect dimension is characterized by the frequencies given by the sum of the chemical shifts between the correlated spins so that horizontal pairs of correlation peaks appear as shown in Fig. 3. There, 125 data sets were acquired with a step of 12.5 ps. Thus, the coherence profile during the evolution time was truncated at 1.6 ms. 

The free-induction decay of transverse magnetization has been analyzed in terms of polymer dynamics [23-26]. A solid echo technique was employed for the same purpose [27, 28]. The so-called dipolar correlation effect on the stimulated echo turned out to be a particularly simple and robust tool in this context too [15, 29, 30]. Finally, double-quantum NMR spectroscopy was suggested [31, 32] as a means of probing features of chain dynamics.

Zheng et al. [1] postulated that the driving force for placing Zr and B on the same carbon might stem from interactions between the zirconium and oxygen or boron and chlorine atoms. However, an X-ray analysis of 22 revealed that there are no intra- or intermo-lecular interactions between any of these atoms [35]. Compound 22 was also unambiguously characterized by 1H-1H double quantum filtered COSY [36] and 13C-1H heteronuc-lear chemical shift correlation NMR spectroscopy [37,38]. Considerable differences in the chemical shifts of the diastereotopic Cp groups were found in both the XH and 13C NMR spectra. The NMR study unequivocally showed that the methine proton was at-... 

Sowinski and coworkers40 reported a structure of vacidin A (63), an aromatic hep-taene macrolide antibiotic. The constitution of vacidin A, a representative of the aromatic heptaene macrolide antibiotics, was established on the basis of 13C and H- H double quantum filtered correlated spectroscopy, rotating frame nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy, 7-resolved 11 as well as H-13C correlation NMR spectra. The geometry of the polyene chromophore was determined as 22E, 24E, 26E, 28Z, 30Z, 32E, 34E. 

The data from H NMR studies of 63, which included double quantum filtered phase sensitive correlated spectroscopy (DQF-COSY) and rotating frame nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (ROESY) experiments (Figure 12), are collected in Table 17. 

Record the 2-D H- H double quantum filtered correlation spectroscopy (DQF-COSY) spectrum (Braun et al., 1998, pp. 481-484). 

NMR spectroscopy was carried out using a Varian Unity 300MHz spectrometer. Peptides were dissolved in 500 pL of 90% H,O/10% D20 (or 100% D20) giving a sample concentration of 1-2 mM and the pH adjusted to 5.5. H DQF-COSY (double quantum filtered two-dimensional correlated spectroscopy), ROESY, and TOCSY spectra were collected at 25 °C and processed as described.1 6-281... 

In several kinds of correlation spectroscopy it is customary to also exploit the evolution of either zero quantum (ZQ) or double quantum (DQ) coherences. As shown in Fig. 7.1, they correspond to the transition — + + — and... 

Whereas the structural assignment by one-dimensional 13C NMR spectroscopy is unambiguous in the case of D2-Cj(,2,51 Achiba and co-workers were able to determine the carbon atom connectivity by 2D 13C NMR INADEQUATE (incredible natural abundance double-quantum transfer experiment) analysis performed on an isotopically enriched sample (20% 13C).58 In particular, they found that the observed chemical shifts correlate well with the curvature of the spheroid, the more strongly pyramidalized carbon atoms being shifted toward lower magnetic field. 

The structural connectivity derived from examination of the 111, 13C/DEPT, DQF-COSY, HMQC, and HMBC data (DEPT = distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer DQF = double quantum filtering COSY = correlation spectroscopy HMQC = heteronuclear multiple quantum correlation HMBC = heteronuclear multiple bond correlation) resulted in global reevaluation of sclerophytin B structure and demonstrated that this compound and the related alcohol are not composed of two ether bridges as in the originally formulated structure 37, but share the structural features depicted as 38 <20000L1879>. Comparison of 13C and 111 NMR data of Norte s... 

By allowing multiple-quantum coherence to process during the evolution period of a two-dimensional experiment, Drobny et al. were able to detect its effects indirectly. This idea subsequently blossomed into the new technique of filtration through double-quantum coherence. Multiple-quantum coherence of order n possesses an n-fold sensitivity to radiofrequency phase shifts, which permits separation from the normal single-quantum coherence. This concept inspired the popular new techniques of double-quantum filtered correlation spectroscopy (DQ-COSY) and the carbon-carbon backbone experiment (INADEQUATE), both designed to extract useful connectivity information from undesirable interfering signals. 

H, C, and NMR chemical shifts of 10 substituted pyrazolo[l,5- ]pyrimidines 40 were assigned based on double quantum filtering (DQF) H, H correlation spectroscopy (COSY), pulsed field gradient (PFG) H, C... 

Two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy ((double quantum fdtering (DQF), correlation spectroscopy (COSY), hetero-nuclear multiple quantum correlation (HMQC), heteronuclear multiple bond correlation (HMBC)) as well as liquid secondary ionization mass spectrometry (LSI MS) and UV-Vis spectroscopies were used to establish crown structures of TTFs 33 ( =l-3). In the case of the macrocycle 33 ( = 1), two protons of each methylene group of the SCH2CH2O fragments were not identical and gave an AA BB system. This observation was in accordance with the expected low conformational mobility of the polyether bridge in ( )-33 ( = 1) as compared with (Z)-33 ( = 1). The macrocycle ( )-33 ( = 2) behaved similarly to ( )-33 ( =1), whereas the protons under discussion were equivalent in ( )-33 ( = 3) <2001CFJ447>.

All proton NMR spectra were recorded on a Varian Unity 600 at 25 C. 6 to 10 mg of the disulfide linked c-Myc-Max heterodimeric LZ were dissolved in 0.5 mL of potassium phosphate buffer (50 mM, 10% DiO / 90% H2O and pH 4.7) containing 100 mM KCl and ImM 2,2-dimethyl-2-silapentane-5-sulfonic acid (DSS) to yield solutions ranging from 0.75 to 1.25 mM. Proton resonances were assigned from two-dimensional double quantum filtered correlation spectroscopy (DQF-COSY (21)), two-dimensional total correlation spectrocopy (TOCSY mixing time = 50 ms (22)) and two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectrocopy (NOESY mixing times = 150 and 200 ms (23)) experiments. Sequential assignment of the proton resonances was performed as described by Wuthrich (24).
