We attempted the calculation of an accurate equilibrium constant for the dimerization process of enantiomerically pure Zn-1 using UV-vis dilution experiments. At millimolar concentration Zn-1 is involved in a chemical exchange process between its monomeric and dimeric state that is slow on the 1H NMR timescale. We performed variable-temperature 1H NMR experiments in CDCl3 solution to determine the dimerization constant value at different temperatures and performed a van’t Hoff plot to derive the thermodynamic parameters of the process. The calculated thermodynamic data revealed that the dimerization process is entropy-driven and enthalpically opposed. We also probed the coordination of quinuclidine, 1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, 2, to the Zn-1 using UV-vis and 1H NMR titrations in CDCl3 solution. At micromolar concentration the Zn-1 exclusively exists in solution as a monomer and forms a simple 1:1, [Formula: see text], complex with quinuclidine having a stability constant of [Formula: see text]([Formula: see text]) [Formula: see text] 106 M[Formula: see text]. On the other hand, the 1H NMR titrations carried out at 298 K and at millimolar concentration showed that Zn-1 was present in solution as the dimer and formed 1:2, [Formula: see text], and 2:2, [Formula: see text] complexes by coordination to 2. In addition, the 1:1 complex, [Formula: see text] showed a reduced dimerization constant compared to the uncoordinated parent monomer Zn-1. At high quinuclidine concentration, the 1:1 complex, [Formula: see text], derived from the coordinated dimer dissociation was also detected. The 1H NMR spectra of the titrations displayed separate signals for some hydrogen atoms of the Zn-phthalocyanine in each one of the four species. Remarkably, the chemical exchange processes involving free and bound quinuclidine in the monomeric and dimeric complexes showed different kinetics on the NMR timescale.

Conformational dynamics play critical roles in protein folding, misfolding, function, misfunction, and aggregation. While detecting and studying the different conformational states populated by protein molecules on their free energy surfaces (FESs) remain a challenge, NMR spectroscopy has emerged as an invaluable experimental tool to explore the FES of a protein, as conformational dynamics can be probed at atomic resolution over a wide range of timescales. Here, we use chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) to detect “invisible” minor states on the energy landscape of the A39G mutant FF domain that exhibited “two-state” folding kinetics in traditional experiments. Although CEST has mostly been limited to studies of processes with rates between ∼5 to 300 s−1 involving sparse states with populations as low as ∼1%, we show that the line broadening that is often associated with minor state dips in CEST profiles can be exploited to inform on additional conformers, with lifetimes an order of magnitude shorter and populations close to 10-fold smaller than what typically is characterized. Our analysis of CEST profiles that exploits the minor state linewidths of the 71-residue A39G FF domain establishes a folding mechanism that can be described in terms of a four-state exchange process between interconverting states spanning over two orders of magnitude in timescale from ∼100 to ∼15,000 μs. A similar folding scheme is established for the wild-type domain as well. The study shows that the folding of this small domain proceeds through a pair of sparse, partially structured intermediates via two discrete pathways on a volcano-shaped FES.

This paper presents a solution for modeling a chemical exchange process carbon dioxide (CO2) – carbamate for the 13C isotope enrichment. A big difficulty in the process modeling procedure is the fact that it is a non-linear one. In order to solve this problem, an original modeling solution that permits the process simulation for the entire domain of the values of the input signal is used. The process modeling is made in order to include it in an automatic control structure of the 13C isotope concentration. Some relevant simulations of the open loop process are presented, both in the case when the disturbances do not occur and the case when they occur in the system.
