13C NMR spectroscopy for the quantitative determination of compound ratios and polymer end groups.

ABSTRACT: (13)C NMR spectroscopic integration employing short relaxation delays was evaluated as a quantitative tool to obtain ratios of diastereomers, regioisomers, constitutional isomers, mixtures of unrelated compounds, peptoids, and sugars. The results were compared to established quantitative methods such as (1)H NMR spectroscopic integration, gas chromatography, and high-performance liquid chromatography and were found to be within <3.4% of (1)H NMR spectroscopic values (most examples give results within <2%). Acquisition of the spectra took 2-30 min on as little as 10 mg of sample, proving the general utility of the technique. The simple protocol was extended to include end group analysis of low molecular weight polymers, which afforded results in accordance with (1)H NMR spectroscopy and matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time-of-flight spectrometry.

Quantitative analysis of metabolic mixtures by two-dimensional 13C constant-time TOCSY NMR spectroscopy.

Project description:An increasing number of organisms can be fully (13)C-labeled, which has the advantage that their metabolomes can be studied by high-resolution two-dimensional (2D) NMR (13)C-(13)C constant-time (CT) total correlation spectroscopy (TOCSY) experiments. Individual metabolites can be identified via database searching or, in the case of novel compounds, through the reconstruction of their backbone-carbon topology. Determination of quantitative metabolite concentrations is another key task. Because strong peak overlaps in one-dimensional (1D) NMR spectra prevent straightforward quantification through 1D peak integrals, we demonstrate here the direct use of (13)C-(13)C CT-TOCSY spectra for metabolite quantification. This is accomplished through the quantum mechanical treatment of the TOCSY magnetization transfer at short and long-mixing times or by the use of analytical approximations, which are solely based on the knowledge of the carbon-backbone topologies. The methods are demonstrated for carbohydrate and amino acid mixtures.

Absolute content determination by quantitative NMR (qNMR) spectroscopy: a curious case of aldosterone.

Project description:Quantitative NMR spectroscopy has been utilized to calculate the absolute content (g g-1) of aldosterone, which is necessary for electrolyte balance and blood pressure regulation, in commercially available materials. Explanations have been provided for many signals observed in the 1HNMR spectrum, false interpretation of which can have significant effects if such a value is utilized for the primary calibrators in ID-LC-MS/MS ('gold standard') reference methods in clinical chemistry.

13C INEPT diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy (DOSY) with internal references.

Project description:13C INEPT Diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy (DOSY) with an internal reference system was developed to study the aggregation state of THF-solvated LDA dimeric complex. Six components are clearly identified in the diffusion dimension, and their DOSY-generated 13C INEPT spectrum slices agree extremely well with their respective INEPT spectra. The correlation between log D and log FW of the linear least-squares fit to reference points of all components is exceptionally high: (r = 0.9985).

Dynamic nuclear polarization-enhanced 13C NMR spectroscopy of static biological solids.

Project description:We explore the possibility of using dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) to enhance signals in structural studies of biological solids by solid state NMR without sample spinning. Specifically, we use 2D (13)C-(13)C exchange spectroscopy to probe the peptide backbone torsion angles (φ, ψ) in a series of selectively (13)C-labeled 40-residue β-amyloid (Aβ(1-40)) samples, in both fibrillar and non-fibrillar states. Experiments are carried out at 9.39 T and 8 K, using a static double-resonance NMR probe and low-power microwave irradiation at 264 GHz. In frozen solutions of Aβ(1-40) fibrils doped with DOTOPA-TEMPO, we observe DNP signal enhancement factors of 16-21. We show that the orientation- and frequency-dependent spin polarization exchange between sequential backbone carbonyl (13)C labels can be simulated accurately using a simple expression for the exchange rate, after experimentally determined homogeneous (13)C lineshapes are incorporated in the simulations. The experimental 2D (13)C-(13)C exchange spectra place constraints on the φ and ψ angles between the two carbonyl labels. Although the data are not sufficient to determine φ and ψ uniquely, the data do provide non-trivial constraints that could be included in structure calculations. With DNP at low temperatures, 2D (13)C-(13)C exchange spectra can be obtained from a 3.5 mg sample of Aβ(1-40) fibrils in 4 h or less, despite the broad (13)C chemical shift anisotropy line shapes that are observed in static samples.

Protein backbone dynamics through 13C'-13Calpha cross-relaxation in NMR spectroscopy.

Project description:Internal dynamics of proteins are usually characterized by the analysis of (15)N relaxation rates that reflect the motions of NH(N) vectors. It was suggested a decade ago that additional information on backbone motions can be obtained by measuring cross-relaxation rates associated with intra-residue C'C(alpha) vectors. Here we propose a new approach to such measurements, based on the observation of the transfer between two-spin orders 2N(z)() and 2N(z)(). This amounts to "anchoring" the and operators to the N(z)() term from the amide of the next residue. In combination with symmetrical reconversion, this method greatly reduces various artifacts. The experiment is carried out on human ubiquitin at 284.1 K, where the correlation time is 7.1 ns. The motions of the C'C(alpha) vector appear more restricted than those of the NH(N) vector.

Quantitative Determination of Interacting Protein Surfaces in Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes by Using In-Cell NMR Spectroscopy.

Project description:This paper describes three protocols for identifying interacting surfaces on 15N-labeled target proteins of known structure by using in-cell NMR spectroscopy. The first protocol describes how to identify protein quinary structure interaction surfaces in prokaryotes by using cross-relaxation-induced polarization transfer, CRIPT, based in-cell NMR. The second protocol describes how to introduce labeled protein into eukaryotic (HeLa) cells via electroporation for CRIPT-based in-cell studies. The third protocol describes how to quantitatively map protein interacting surfaces by utilizing singular value decomposition, SVD, analysis of STructural INTeractions by in-cell NMR, STINT-NMR, data.

Localized in vivo 13C NMR spectroscopy of the brain.

Project description:Localized (13)C NMR spectroscopy provides a new investigative tool for studying cerebral metabolism. The application of (13)C NMR spectroscopy to living intact humans and animals presents the investigator with a number of unique challenges. This review provides in the first part a tutorial insight into the ingredients required for achieving a successful implementation of localized (13)C NMR spectroscopy. The difficulties in establishing (13)C NMR are the need for decoupling of the one-bond (13)C-(1)H heteronuclear J coupling, the large chemical shift range, the low sensitivity and the need for localization of the signals. The methodological consequences of these technical problems are discussed, particularly with respect to (a) RF front-end considerations, (b) localization methods, (c) the low sensitivity, and (d) quantification methods. Lastly, some achievements of in vivo localized (13)C NMR spectroscopy of the brain are reviewed, such as: (a) the measurement of brain glutamine synthesis and the feasibility of quantifying glutamatergic action in the brain; (b) the demonstration of significant anaplerotic fluxes in the brain; (c) the demonstration of a highly regulated malate-aspartate shuttle in brain energy metabolism and isotope flux; (d) quantification of neuronal and glial energy metabolism; and (e) brain glycogen metabolism in hypoglycemia in rats and humans. We conclude that the unique and novel insights provided by (13)C NMR spectroscopy have opened many new research areas that are likely to improve the understanding of brain carbohydrate metabolism in health and disease.

RNA structure determination by solid-state NMR spectroscopy.

Project description:Knowledge of the RNA three-dimensional structure, either in isolation or as part of RNP complexes, is fundamental to understand the mechanism of numerous cellular processes. Because of its flexibility, RNA represents a challenge for crystallization, while the large size of cellular complexes brings solution-state NMR to its limits. Here, we demonstrate an alternative approach on the basis of solid-state NMR spectroscopy. We develop a suite of experiments and RNA labeling schemes and demonstrate for the first time that ssNMR can yield a RNA structure at high-resolution. This methodology allows structural analysis of segmentally labelled RNA stretches in high-molecular weight cellular machines—independent of their ability to crystallize—and opens the way to mechanistic studies of currently difficult-to-access RNA-protein assemblies.

Determination of the pKa of glucuronic acid and the carboxy groups of heparin by 13C-nuclear-magnetic-resonance spectroscopy.

Project description:As part of our continuing studies on heparin, the present paper uses 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy to examine the acidity of heparin's uronic acid carboxylate groups. Heparin contains three different uronic acids. In porcine mucosal heparin these account for approx. 91, 7 and 2 mol% of the total uronic acid residues. These are alpha-L-idopyranosyluronic acid 2-sulphate, beta-D-glucopyranosyluronic acid and alpha-L-idopyranosyluronic acid. The pKa values of their carboxylate groups were determined as 3.13 (using heparin), 2.79 (using heparin) and 3.0 (predicted by using model compounds) respectively. 18C-n.m.r. spectroscopy, performed at various pH values, provided a convenient method of simultaneously determining the pKa of multiple carboxylate groups, of similar acidity, within heparin D-Glucopyranosyluronic acid and heparin-derived di-, tetra- and hexa-saccharides were used as model compounds to determine pKa values of the different carboxy groups. The results suggested that molecular size had an effect on pKa. Unambiguous assignment of carboxy carbon resonances were accomplished through the use of two-dimensional n.m.r. spectroscopy. Finally, application of this method to the simplest model compound, D-glucopyranosyluronic acid, permitted the determination of the pKa of both its alpha- and beta-anomers.
