Metathesis Activity Encoded in the Metallacyclobutane Carbon-13 NMR Chemical Shift Tensors.

ABSTRACT: Metallacyclobutanes are an important class of organometallic intermediates, due to their role in olefin metathesis. They can have either planar or puckered rings associated with characteristic chemical and physical properties. Metathesis active metallacyclobutanes have short M-C_α/α' and M···C_β distances, long C_α/α'-C_β bond length, and isotropic ¹³C chemical shifts for both early d⁰ and late d⁴ transition metal compounds for the α- and β-carbons appearing at ca. 100 and 0 ppm, respectively. Metallacyclobutanes that do not show metathesis activity have ¹³C chemical shifts of the α- and β-carbons at typically 40 and 30 ppm, respectively, for d⁰ systems, with upfield shifts to ca. -30 ppm for the α-carbon of metallacycles with higher d ⁿ electron counts (n = 2 and 6). Measurements of the chemical shift tensor by solid-state NMR combined with an orbital (natural chemical shift, NCS) analysis of its principal components (δ₁₁ ≥ δ₂₂ ≥ δ₃₃) with two-component calculations show that the specific chemical shift of metathesis active metallacyclobutanes originates from a low-lying empty orbital lying in the plane of the metallacyclobutane with local π*(M-C_α/α') character. Thus, in the metathesis active metallacyclobutanes, the α-carbons retain some residual alkylidene character, while their β-carbon is shielded, especially in the direction perpendicular to the ring. Overall, the chemical shift tensors directly provide information on the predictive value about the ability of metallacyclobutanes to be olefin metathesis intermediates.

Carbon-13 chemical-shift tensors in indigo: A two-dimensional NMR-ROCSA and DFT Study.

Project description:The principal components of the (13)C NMR chemical-shift tensors for the eight unique carbon sites of crystalline indigo have been measured using the ROCSA pulse sequence. The chemical shifts have been assigned unambiguously to their respective nuclear sites through comparison of the experimental data to the results of density-functional calculations employing a refined X-ray diffraction structure. These measurements expand the database of measured aromatic (13)C chemical-shift tensors to the indole ring. Magnetic shielding calculations for hypoxanthine and adenosine are also reported. Comparisons of calculations that include the effect of the crystalline lattice with calculations that model indigo as an isolated molecule give an estimate of the intermolecular contribution to the magnetic shielding.

Ultrahigh resolution protein structures using NMR chemical shift tensors.

Project description:NMR chemical shift tensors (CSTs) in proteins, as well as their orientations, represent an important new restraint class for protein structure refinement and determination. Here, we present the first determination of both CST magnitudes and orientations for (13)C? and (15)N (peptide backbone) groups in a protein, the ?1 IgG binding domain of protein G from Streptococcus spp., GB1. Site-specific (13)C? and (15)N CSTs were measured using synchronously evolved recoupling experiments in which (13)C and (15)N tensors were projected onto the (1)H-(13)C and (1)H-(15)N vectors, respectively, and onto the (15)N-(13)C vector in the case of (13)C?. The orientations of the (13)C? CSTs to the (1)H-(13)C and (13)C-(15)N vectors agreed well with the results of ab initio calculations, with an rmsd of approximately 8°. In addition, the measured (15)N tensors exhibited larger reduced anisotropies in ?-helical versus ?-sheet regions, with very limited variation (18 ± 4°) in the orientation of the z-axis of the (15)N CST with respect to the (1)H-(15)N vector. Incorporation of the (13)C? CST restraints into structure calculations, in combination with isotropic chemical shifts, transferred echo double resonance (13)C-(15)N distances and vector angle restraints, improved the backbone rmsd to 0.16 ? (PDB ID code 2LGI) and is consistent with existing X-ray structures (0.51 ? agreement with PDB ID code 2QMT). These results demonstrate that chemical shift tensors have considerable utility in protein structure refinement, with the best structures comparable to 1.0-? crystal structures, based upon empirical metrics such as Ramachandran geometries and ?(1)/?(2) distributions, providing solid-state NMR with a powerful tool for de novo structure determination.

Modeling the Structure of Crystalline Alamethicin and Its NMR Chemical Shift Tensors.

Project description:Alamethicin (ALM) is an antimicrobial peptide that is frequently employed in studies of the mechanism of action of pore-forming molecules. Advanced techniques of solid-state NMR spectroscopy (SSNMR) are important in these studies, as they are capable of describing the alignment of helical peptides, such as ALM, in lipid bilayers. Here, it is demonstrated how an analysis of the SSNMR measurements can benefit from fully periodic calculations, which employ the plane-wave density-functional theory (PW DFT) of the solid-phase geometry and related spectral parameters of ALM. The PW DFT calculations are used to obtain the structure of desolvated crystalline ALM and predict the NMR chemical shift tensors (CSTs) of its nuclei. A variation in the CSTs of the amidic nitrogens and carbonyl carbons along the ALM backbone is evaluated and included in simulations of the orientation-dependent anisotropic 15N and 13C chemical shift components. In this way, the influence of the site-specific structural effects on the experimentally determined orientation of ALM is shown in models of cell membranes.

Ab initio study of (13)C(alpha) chemical shift anisotropy tensors in peptides.

Project description:This study reports magnitudes and the orientation of the (13)C(alpha) chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) tensors of peptides obtained using quantum chemical calculations. The dependency of the CSA tensor parameters on the energy optimization of hydrogen atom positions and hydrogen bonding effects and the use of zwitterionic peptides in the calculations are examined. Our results indicate that the energy optimization of the hydrogen atom positions in crystal structures is necessary to obtain accurate CSA tensors. The inclusion of intermolecular effects such as hydrogen bonding in the calculations provided better agreement between the calculated and experimental values; however, the use of zwitterionic peptides in calculations, with or without the inclusion of hydrogen bonding, did not improve the results. In addition, our calculated values are in good agreement with tensor values obtained from solid-state NMR experiments on glycine-containing tripeptides. In the case of peptides containing an aromatic residue, calculations on an isolated peptide yielded more accurate isotropic shift values than the calculations on extended structures of the peptide. The calculations also suggested that the presence of an aromatic ring in the extended crystal peptide structure influences the magnitude of the delta(22) which the present level of ab initio calculations are unable to reproduce.

Machine Learning Full NMR Chemical Shift Tensors of Silicon Oxides with Equivariant Graph Neural Networks.

Project description:The nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shift tensor is a highly sensitive probe of the electronic structure of an atom and furthermore its local structure. Recently, machine learning has been applied to NMR in the prediction of isotropic chemical shifts from a structure. Current machine learning models, however, often ignore the full chemical shift tensor for the easier-to-predict isotropic chemical shift, effectively ignoring a multitude of structural information available in the NMR chemical shift tensor. Here we use an equivariant graph neural network (GNN) to predict full 29Si chemical shift tensors in silicate materials. The equivariant GNN model predicts full tensors to a mean absolute error of 1.05 ppm and is able to accurately determine the magnitude, anisotropy, and tensor orientation in a diverse set of silicon oxide local structures. When compared with other models, the equivariant GNN model outperforms the state-of-the-art machine learning models by 53%. The equivariant GNN model also outperforms historic analytical models by 57% for isotropic chemical shift and 91% for anisotropy. The software is available as a simple-to-use open-source repository, allowing similar models to be created and trained with ease.

Determination of accurate backbone chemical shift tensors in microcrystalline proteins by integrating MAS NMR and QM/MM.

Project description:Chemical shifts are highly sensitive probes of local conformation and overall structure. Both isotropic shifts and chemical shift tensors are readily accessible from NMR experiments but their quantum mechanical calculations remain challenging. In this work, we report and compare accurately measured and calculated 15NH and 13C? chemical shift tensors in proteins, using the microcrystalline agglutinin from Oscillatoria agardhii (OAA). Experimental 13C? and 15NH chemical tensors were obtained by solid-state NMR spectroscopy, employing tailored recoupling sequences, and for their quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) calculations different sets of functionals were evaluated. We show that 13C? chemical shift tensors are primarily determined by backbone dihedral angles and dynamics, while 15NH tensors mainly depend on local electrostatic contributions from solvation and hydrogen bonding. In addition, the influence of including crystallographic waters, the molecular mechanics geometry optimization protocol, and the level of theory on the accuracy of the calculated chemical shift tensors is discussed. Specifically, the power of QM/MM calculations in accurately predicting the unusually upfield shifted 1HN G26 and G93 resonances is highlighted. Our integrated approach is expected to benefit structure refinement of proteins and protein assemblies.

Protein structure refinement using 13C alpha chemical shift tensors.

Project description:We have obtained the (13)C alpha chemical shift tensors for each amino acid in the protein GB1. We then developed a CST force field and incorporated this into the Xplor-NIH structure determination program. GB1 structures obtained by using CST restraints had improved precision over those obtained in the absence of CST restraints and were also more accurate. When combined with isotropic chemical shifts, distance, and vector angle restraints, the root-mean squared error with respect to existing X-ray structures was better than approximately 1.0 A. These results are of broad general interest since they show that chemical shift tensors can be used in protein structure refinement, improving both structural accuracy and precision, opening up the way to accurate de novo structure determination.

Generating NMR chemical shift assignments of intrinsically disordered proteins using carbon-detected NMR methods.

Project description:There is an extraordinary need to describe the structures of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) due to their role in various biological processes involved in signaling and transcription. However, general study of IDPs by NMR spectroscopy is limited by the poor (1)H amide chemical shift dispersion typically observed in their spectra. Recently, (13)C direct-detected NMR spectroscopy has been recognized as enabling broad structural study of IDPs. Most notably, multidimensional experiments based on the (15)N,(13)C CON spectrum make complete chemical shift assignment feasible. Here we document a collection of NMR-based tools that efficiently lead to chemical shift assignment of IDPs, motivated by a case study of the C-terminal disordered region from the human pancreatic transcription factor Pdx1. Our strategy builds on the combination of two three-dimensional (3D) experiments, (HN-flip)N(CA)CON and 3D (HN-flip)N(CA)NCO, that enable daisy chain connections to be built along the IDP backbone, facilitated by acquisition of amino acid-specific (15)N,(13)C CON-detected experiments. Assignments are completed through carbon-detected, total correlation spectroscopy (TOCSY)-based side chain chemical shift measurement. Conducting our study required producing valuable modifications to many previously published pulse sequences, motivating us to announce the creation of a database of our pulse programs, which we make freely available through our website.

Spinning-rate encoded chemical shift correlations from rotational resonance solid-state NMR experiments.

Project description:Structural measurements in magic-angle-spinning (MAS) solid-state NMR rely heavily on (13)C-(13)C distance measurements. Broadbanded recoupling methods are used to generate many cross-peaks, but have complex polarization transfer mechanisms that limit the precision of distance constraints and can suffer from weak intensities for distant peaks due to relaxation, the broad distribution of polarization, as well as dipolar truncation. Frequency-selective methods that feature narrow-banded recoupling can reduce these effects. Indeed, rotational resonance (R(2)) experiments have found application in many different biological systems, where they have afforded improved precision and accuracy. Unfortunately, a highly selective transfer mechanism also leads to few cross-peaks in the resulting spectra, which complicates the extraction of multiple constraints. R(2)-width (R(2)W) measurements that scan a range of MAS rates to probe the R(2) matching conditions of one or more sites can improve precision, and also permit multiple simultaneous distance measurements. However, multidimensional R(2)W can be very time-consuming. Here, we present an approach that facilitates the acquisition of 2D-like spectra based on a series of 1D R(2)W experiments, by taking advantage of the chemical shift information encoded in the MAS rates where matching occurs. This yields a more time-efficient experiment with many of the benefits of more conventional multidimensional R(2)W measurements. The obtained spectra reveal long-distance (13)C-(13)C cross-peaks resulting from R(2)-mediated polarization transfer. This experiment also enables the efficient setup and targeted implementation of traditional R(2) or R(2)W experiments. Analogous applications may extend to other variable-MAS and frequency-selective solid-state NMR experiments.

Backbone amide 15N chemical shift tensors report on hydrogen bonding interactions in proteins: A magic angle spinning NMR study.

Project description:Chemical shift tensors (CSTs) are an exquisite probe of local geometric and electronic structure. 15N CST are very sensitive to hydrogen bonding, yet they have been reported for very few proteins to date. Here we present experimental results and statistical analysis of backbone amide 15N CSTs for 100 residues of four proteins, two E. coli thioredoxin reassemblies (1-73-(U-13C,15N)/74-108-(U-15N) and 1-73-(U-15N)/74-108-(U-13C,15N)), dynein light chain 8 LC8, and CAP-Gly domain of the mammalian dynactin. The 15N CSTs were measured by a symmetry-based CSA recoupling method, ROCSA. Our results show that the principal component ?11 is very sensitive to the presence of hydrogen bonding interactions due to its unique orientation in the molecular frame. The downfield chemical shift change of backbone amide nitrogen nuclei with increasing hydrogen bond strength is manifested in the negative correlation of the principal components with hydrogen bond distance for both ?-helical and ?-sheet secondary structure elements. Our findings highlight the potential for the use of 15N CSTs in protein structure refinement.
