The helix–coil transition in an aqueous solution of poly-L-glutamic acid has been observed using 13C nuclear magnetic resonance. The transition from coil to helix results in pronounced deshielding of the carbonyl and C-α carbons of the polymer and a less dramatic shielding effect on the C-β carbon. These results are contrasted with the titration behavior of L-glutamic acid to delineate those shifts directly attributed to the secondary-structure change. The biological significance of this observation is supported by the 13C chemical shift differences observed for the 13C-enriched phenylalanyl residue 8 in the free 1–15 amino-terminal peptide of ribonuclease (RNase) and the 1–15 peptide:RNase S-protein complex.

Abstract95Mo Fourier transform nuclear magnetic resonance studies were made on aqueous solutions of oxo thiomolybdates. Chemical shifts up to 2200 ppm were found for the different unambiguously assigned species MoO4-nSn2- (n = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4).

13C nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shifts and 13C–31P coupling constants are reported for the self-complementary dinucleotides CpG and dCpdG in aqueous solution. The influence of methylmercuration at pH 6.0 on these spectral parameters has been examined. Results are interpreted in terms of preferential methylmercuration at the N-7 site of the guanine base of each dinucleotide with concomitant base destacking.

The effect of a heterosubstituent X on 13C chemical shifts, in conformations characterized by dihedral angles of 60°, is analyzed in terms of α-shifts, heteroatom–carbon (XC), hydrogen–heteroatom (HX) and carbon–heteroatom (CX) gauche interactions, and nonbonded γ(X) and δ(X) interactions. The more general parameters [Formula: see text] describe the β-heteroatom shifts in conformations in which the dihedral angles [Formula: see text] differ from 60°. The shielding effects of chlorine, exocyclic oxygen, and endocyclic nitrogen are analyzed.
