How can we determine the carbon-carbon connectivities in a molecule through a combination of homo- and heteronculear shift-correlation experiments

The term can usually be evaluated. Consequently, data from one- and two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser spectroscopy studies contribute to the coordination chemists understanding of three-dimensional solution structures and molecular association phenomena such as ion pairs.Distance constraints are usually qualitatively established, based on cross-peak intensities or volumes. Occasionally monitoring the build-up rates is preferred, in order to quantify internuclear distances. ...

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). 

MULTAN programs 111). The structure and unit cell packing of each are shown in Fig. 1. Circular dichroism spectra of 10 Cephalotaxus alkaloids have been reported 112). Cephalotaxine was studied by two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser effect correlated spectroscopy (NOESY) 113). 

H-NMR analysis allows the elucidation of GSL structures, without the use of destructive methods and requires small amounts (nmole) of material. In addition to one dimensional 1 H-NMR, other methods such as two-dimensional 1H-NMR shift correlations spectroscopy (COSY), two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser 1 H-NMR spectroscopy (NOESY) and homonuclear two-dimensional spin-echo J-resolved 1 H-NMR spectroscopy. The introduction of1 C-NMR into the field of glycosphingolipid research should give useful information on the stereochemical conformation of molecules. This is of coniderable interest, as they most probably contribute to the immunological specificity of glycosphingolipids (37). 

Two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY) has proven to be a valuable technique in determining the conformations of large polypeptides and oligonucleotides. The slow motional regime in which such molecules lie (where wt> 1) causes the zero quantum transition to be extremely important in determining the rate of cross-relaxation. Crossrelaxation in the homonuclear case is described by the expression ... 

Similarly, PPI dendrimers have shifts that are very similar for each repetitive layer, and to completely assign these strac-tures more complex methods such as 2D-NOESY (two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy) and 3D-NOESY-HSQC (HSQC, heteronuclear single quantum coherence) have been used. These methods will be discussed in the following. ...

The numbering of atoms within the base and sugar moieties is according to the standard lUPAC/IUB rules [84S1]. The resonance positions of the imino protons incorporated in this survey are all based on one and/or two dimensional nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy. 

Figure 3.24 The pulse sequence for two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY), The pulse sequence is divided into the preparation (P), evolution or tx (E), mixing (M), and detection or t2 (D) periods. The data are recorded in the detection period for many equally spaced values of tx and double Fourier-transformed to give the two-dimensional frequency spectrum.

Two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (2D-NOESY) provided qualitative information about spatial proximities of protons in a molecule. The unimer micelle of poly(A/l-Np(60)) (poly(A/l-Np(x)) where x = 60 mol%) in D2O gave cross-peaks between the aromatic and aliphatic protons owing to dipolar interactions, whereas the same polymer showed no such cross-peaks in DMF-rfv [29], This is indicative of a highly compact conformation of the unimer micelle in water.

Another technique often used to examine the stmcture of double-heUcal oligonucleotides is two-dimensional nmr spectroscopy (see AfAGNETiC SPIN resonance). This method rehes on measurement of the nuclear Overhauser effects (NOEs) through space to determine the distances between protons (6). The stmcture of an oligonucleotide may be determined theoretically from a set of iaterproton distances. As a result of the complexities of the experiment and data analysis, the quality of the stmctural information obtained is debated. However, nmr spectroscopy does provide information pertaining to the stmcture of DNA ia solution and can serve as a complement to the stmctural information provided by crystallographic analysis. 

Figure 3.1 The various time periods in a two-dimensional NMR experiment. Nuclei are allowed to approach a state of thermal equilibrium during the preparation period before the first pulse is applied. This pulse disturbs the equilibrium ptolariza-tion state established during the preparation period, and during the subsequent evolution period the nuclei may be subjected to the influence of other, neighboring spins. If the amplitudes of the nuclei are modulated by the chemical shifts of the nuclei to which they are coupled, 2D-shift-correlated spectra are obtained. On the other hand, if their amplitudes are modulated by the coupling frequencies, then 2D /-resolved spectra result. The evolution period may be followed by a mixing period A, as in Nuclear Overhauser Enhancement Spectroscopy (NOESY) or 2D exchange spectra. The mixing period is followed by the second evolution (detection) period) ij.
