The 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the α-methyl, cis and trans-β-methyl, 4-methyl, and β,β-dimethyl styrènes are analyzed to yield long-range proton–proton coupling constants. With the assumptin that the internal rotational potential for styrene in the gas phase is unaltered in solution, a consistent treatment of over 40 of the long-range coupling constants is given in terms of the known coupling mechanisms. Expectation values of sin2 θ, where θ is the angle of twist about the exocyclic carbon–carbon bond, are presented for these molecules. These are compared with theoretical potentials at the 6-31 G level of molecular orbital theory. The present data indicate rather larger average twist angles than those in the literature. The extrema (at θ = θ° and 90°) in the angle dependent long-range coupling constants appear to be rather smaller in magnitude than are theoretical values obtained from valence bond and molecular orbital approaches.

ABSTRACT A revised purification of acetopyruvate hydrolase from orcinol-grown Pseudomonas putida ORC is described. This carbon-carbon bond hydrolase, which is the last inducible enzyme of the orcinol catabolic pathway, is monomeric with a molecular size of ∼38 kDa; it hydrolyzes acetopyruvate to equimolar quantities of acetate and pyruvate. We have previously described the aqueous-solution structures of acetopyruvate at pH 7.5 and several synthesized analogues by1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-Fourier transform (FT) experiments. Three 1H signals (2.2 to 2.4 ppm) of the methyl group are assigned unambiguously to the carboxylate anions of 2,4-diketo, 2-enol-4-keto, and 2-hydrate-4-keto forms (40:50:10). A1H-NMR assay for acetopyruvate hydrolase was used to study the kinetics and stoichiometries of reactions within a single reaction mixture (0.7 ml) by monitoring the three methyl-group signals of acetopyruvate and of the products acetate and pyruvate. Examination of 4-tert-butyl-2,4-diketobutanoate hydrolysis by the same method allowed the conclusion that it is the carboxylate 2-enol form(s) or carbanion(s) that is the actual substrate(s) of hydrolysis. Substrate analogues of 2,4-diketobutanoate with 4-phenyl or 4-benzyl groups are very poor substrates for the enzyme, whereas the 4-cyclohexyl analogue is readily hydrolyzed. In aqueous solution, the arene analogues do not form a stable 2-enol structure but exist principally as a delocalized π-electron system in conjugation with the aromatic ring. The effects of several divalent metal ions on solution structures were studied, and a tentative conclusion that the enol forms are coordinated to Mg2+ bound to the enzyme was made. 1H–2H exchange reactions showed the complete, fast equilibration of 2H into the C-3 of acetopyruvate chemically; this accounts for the appearance of2H in the product pyruvate. The C-3 of the product pyruvate was similarly labelled, but this exchange was only enzyme catalyzed; the methyl group of acetate did not undergo an exchange reaction. The unexpected preference for bulky 4-alkyl-group analogues is discussed in an evolutionary context for carbon-carbon bond hydrolases. Routine one-dimensional 1H-NMR in normal1H2O is a new method for rapid, noninvasive assays of enzymic activities to obtain the kinetics and stoichiometries of reactions in single reaction mixtures. Assessments of the solution structures of both substrates and products are also shown.

Much progress in nuclear magnetic resonance microscope has been made in the last few years as a result of improved instrumentation and techniques being made available through basic research in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technologies for medicine. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) was first observed in the hydrogen nucleus in water by Bloch, Purcell and Pound over 40 years ago. Today, in medicine, virtually all commercial MRI scans are made of water bound in tissue. This is also true for NMR microscopy, which has focussed mainly on biological applications. The reason water is the favored molecule for NMR is because water is,the most abundant molecule in biology. It is also the most NMR sensitive having the largest nuclear magnetic moment and having reasonable room temperature relaxation times (from 10 ms to 3 sec). The contrast seen in magnetic resonance images is due mostly to distribution of water relaxation times in sample which are extremely sensitive to the local environment.
