13C CP MAS NMR and DFT Studies of 6-Chromanyl Ethereal Derivatives †

ABSTRACT: Vitamin E consists of a group of compounds including α- β- γ- and δ-tocopherols and α- β- γ- and δ-tocotrienols, containing the chroman-6-ol system. The recognition of the structural and dynamic properties of this system, present in all vitamers, seems to be important for the full explanation of the mechanism of the biological activity of vitamin E. This paper presents results of the structural analysis of the chosen 6-chromanyl ethereal derivatives using experimental (13 C NMR-in solution and solid state, as well as variable temperature experiments; single crystal X-ray diffraction) and theoretical (DFT) methods. For one of the studied compounds, 2,2,5,7,8-pentamethyl-6-((tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)oxy) chroman, the splitting of some signals was observed in the 13C dynamic NMR spectra. This observation was explained by the application of a conformational analysis and subsequent DFT optimization, followed by the calculation of NMR properties.

13C CP/MAS NMR Can Discriminate Genetic Backgrounds of Rice Starch.

Project description:Solid-state cross-polarization magic-angle spinning carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (13C CP/MAS NMR) spectroscopy is used to analyze starch derived from plants including wheat, maize, and potato, but few reports have described its application to rice starch. Here, we combined 13C CP/MAS NMR with deconvolution and subtraction methods to analyze rice lines including mutants that are deficient in at least one enzyme involved in amylose and/or amylopectin biosynthesis. We found that differences in the content of ordered structures between rice lines could be evaluated using C1 signal deconvolution and subtraction. The content of the V-type ordered structure increased with increasing amylose content. Furthermore, starch derived from a starch synthase (SS) IIIa/starch branching enzyme (BE) IIb-deficient mutant formed B- and V-type ordered structures and significantly more nonordered structures than the other rice lines. These data indicate that 13C CP/MAS NMR analysis is useful for discriminating the genetic backgrounds of starch derived from different rice cultivars.

Lewis Acidic Aluminosilicates: Synthesis, 27Al MQ/MAS NMR, and DFT-Calculated 27Al NMR Parameters.

Project description:Porous aluminosilicates are functional materials of paramount importance as Lewis acid catalysts in the synthetic industry, yet the participating aluminum species remain poorly studied. Herein, a series of model aluminosilicate networks containing [L-AlO3] (L = THF, Et3N, pyridine, triethylphosphine oxide (TEPO)) and [AlO4]- centers were prepared through nonhydrolytic sol-gel condensation reactions of the spherosilicate building block (Me3Sn)8Si8O20 with L-AlX3 (X = Cl, Me, Et) and [Me4N] [AlCl4] compounds in THF or toluene. The substoichiometric dosage of the Al precursors ensured complete condensation and uniform incorporation, with the bulky spherosilicate forcing a separation between neighboring aluminum centers. The materials were characterized by 1H, 13C, 27Al, 29Si, and 31P MAS NMR and FTIR spectroscopies, ICP-OES, gravimetry, and N2 adsorption porosimetry. The resulting aluminum centers were resolved by 27Al TQ/MAS NMR techniques and assigned based on their spectroscopic parameters obtained by peak fitting (δiso, CQ, η) and their correspondence to the values calculated on model structures by DFT methods. A clear correlation between the decrease in the symmetry of the Al centers and the increase of the observed CQ was established with values spanning from 4.4 MHz for distorted [AlO4]- to 15.1 MHz for [THF-AlO3]. Products containing exclusively [TEPO-AlO3] or [AlO4]- centers could be obtained (single-site materials). For L = THF, Et3N, and pyridine, the [AlO4]- centers were formed together with the expected [L-AlO3] species, and a viable mechanism for the unexpected emergence of [AlO4]- was proposed.

Glycerin-Induced Conformational Changes in Bombyx mori Silk Fibroin Film Monitored by (13)C CP/MAS NMR and ¹H DQMAS NMR.

Project description:In order to improve the stiff and brittle characteristics of pure Bombyx mori (B. mori) silk fibroin (SF) film in the dry state, glycerin (Glyc) has been used as a plasticizer. However, there have been very limited studies on the structural characterization of the Glyc-blended SF film. In this study, (13)C Cross Polarization/Magic Angle Spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (CP/MAS NMR) was used to monitor the conformational changes in the films by changing the Glyc concentration. The presence of only 5 wt % Glyc in the film induced a significant conformational change in SF where Silk I* (repeated type II ?-turn and no ?-helix) newly appeared. Upon further increase in Glyc concentration, the percentage of Silk I* increased linearly up to 9 wt % Glyc and then tended to be almost constant (30%). This value (30%) was the same as the fraction of Ala residue within the Silk I* form out of all Ala residues of SF present in B. mori mature silkworm. The ¹H DQMAS NMR spectra of Glyc-blended SF films confirmed the appearance of Silk I* in the Glyc-blended SF film. A structural model of Glyc-SF complex including the Silk I* form was proposed with the guidance of the Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation using ¹H-¹H distance constraints obtained from the ¹H Double-Quantum Magic Angle Spinning (DQMAS) NMR spectra.

Sedimentation of large, soluble proteins up to 140 kDa for 1H-detected MAS NMR and 13C DNP NMR - practical aspects.

Project description:Solution NMR is typically applied to biological systems with molecular weights < 40 kDa whereas magic-angle-spinning (MAS) solid-state NMR traditionally targets very large, oligomeric proteins and complexes exceeding 500 kDa in mass, including fibrils and crystalline protein preparations. Here, we propose that the gap between these size regimes can be filled by the approach presented that enables investigation of large, soluble and fully protonated proteins in the range of 40-140 kDa. As a key step, ultracentrifugation produces a highly concentrated, gel-like state, resembling a dense phase in spontaneous liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS). By means of three examples, a Sulfolobus acidocaldarius bifurcating electron transfer flavoprotein (SulfETF), tryptophan synthases from Salmonella typhimurium (StTS) and the dimeric β-subunits from Pyrococcus furiosus (PfTrpB), we show that such samples yield well-resolved proton-detected 2D and 3D NMR spectra at 100 kHz MAS without heterogeneous broadening, similar to diluted liquids. Herein, we provide practical guidance on centrifugation conditions and tools, sample behavior, and line widths expected. We demonstrate that the observed chemical shifts correspond to those obtained from μM/low mM solutions or crystalline samples, indicating structural integrity. Nitrogen line widths as low as 20-30 Hz are observed. The presented approach is advantageous for proteins or nucleic acids that cannot be deuterated due to the expression system used, or where relevant protons cannot be re-incorporated after expression in deuterated medium, and it circumvents crystallization. Importantly, it allows the use of low-glycerol buffers in dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) NMR of proteins as demonstrated with the cyanobacterial phytochrome Cph1.

DELTA50: A Highly Accurate Database of Experimental 1H and 13C NMR Chemical Shifts Applied to DFT Benchmarking.

Project description:Density functional theory (DFT) benchmark studies of 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts often yield differing conclusions, likely due to non-optimal test molecules and non-standardized data acquisition. To address this issue, we carefully selected and measured 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts for 50 structurally diverse small organic molecules containing atoms from only the first two rows of the periodic table. Our NMR dataset, DELTA50, was used to calculate linear scaling factors and to evaluate the accuracy of 73 density functionals, 40 basis sets, 3 solvent models, and 3 gauge-referencing schemes. The best performing DFT methodologies for 1H and 13C NMR chemical shift predictions were WP04/6-311++G(2d,p) and ωB97X-D/def2-SVP, respectively, when combined with the polarizable continuum solvent model (PCM) and gauge-independent atomic orbital (GIAO) method. Geometries should be optimized at the B3LYP-D3/6-311G(d,p) level including the PCM solvent model for the best accuracy. Predictions of 20 organic compounds and natural products from a separate probe set had root-mean-square deviations (RMSD) of 0.07 to 0.19 for 1H and 0.5 to 2.9 for 13C. Maximum deviations were less than 0.5 and 6.5 ppm for 1H and 13C, respectively.

NMR Assignment of Methyl Groups in Immobilized Proteins Using Multiple-Bond 13C Homonuclear Transfers, Proton Detection, and Very Fast MAS.

Project description:In nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of proteins, methyl protons play a particular role as extremely sensitive reporters on dynamics, allosteric effects, and protein-protein interactions, accessible even in high-molecular-weight systems approaching 1 MDa. The notorious issue of their chemical shift assignment is addressed here by a joint use of solid-state 1H-detected methods at very fast (nearly 100 kHz) magic-angle spinning, partial deuteration, and high-magnetic fields. The suitability of a series of RF schemes is evaluated for the efficient coherence transfer across entire 13C side chains of methyl-containing residues, which is key for establishing connection between methyl and backbone 1H resonances. The performance of ten methods for recoupling of either isotropic 13C-13C scalar or anisotropic dipolar interactions (five variants of TOBSY, FLOPSY, DIPSI, WALTZ, RFDR, and DREAM) is evaluated experimentally at two state-of-the-art magic-angle spinning (55 and 94.5 kHz) and static magnetic field conditions (18.8 and 23.5 T). Model isotopically labeled compounds (alanine and Met-Leu-Phe tripeptide) and ILV-methyl and amide-selectively protonated, and otherwise deuterated chicken α-spectrin SH3 protein are used as convenient reference systems. Spin dynamics simulations in SIMPSON are performed to determine optimal parameters of these RF schemes, up to recently experimentally attained spinning frequencies (200 kHz) and B 0 field strengths (28.2 T). The concept of linearization of 13C side chain by appropriate isotope labeling is revisited and showed to significantly increase sensitivity of methyl-to-backbone correlations. A resolution enhancement provided by 4D spectroscopy with non-uniform (sparse) sampling is demonstrated to remove ambiguities in simultaneous resonance assignment of methyl proton and carbon chemical shifts.

17O MAS NMR Correlation Spectroscopy at High Magnetic Fields.

Project description:The structure of two protected amino acids, FMOC-l-leucine and FMOC-l-valine, and a dipeptide, N-acetyl-l-valyl-l-leucine (N-Ac-VL), were studied via one- and two-dimensional solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Utilizing 17O magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR at multiple magnetic fields (17.6-35.2 T/750-1500 MHz for 1H) the 17O quadrupolar and chemical shift parameters were determined for the two oxygen sites of each FMOC-protected amino acids and the three distinct oxygen environments of the dipeptide. The one- and two-dimensional, 17O, 15N-17O, 13C-17O, and 1H-17O double-resonance correlation experiments performed on the uniformly 13C,15N and 70% 17O-labeled dipeptide prove the attainability of 17O as a probe for structure studies of biological systems. 15N-17O and 13C-17O distances were measured via one-dimensional REAPDOR and ZF-TEDOR experimental buildup curves and determined to be within 15% of previously reported distances, thus demonstrating the use of 17O NMR to quantitate interatomic distances in a fully labeled dipeptide. Through-space hydrogen bonding of N-Ac-VL was investigated by a two-dimensional 1H-detected 17O R3-R-INEPT experiment, furthering the importance of 17O for studies of structure in biomolecular solids.

Off-resonance 13C-2H REDOR NMR for site-resolved studies of molecular motion.

Project description:We introduce a 13C-2H Rotational Echo DOuble Resonance (REDOR) technique that uses the difference between on-resonance and off-resonance 2H irradiation to detect dynamic segments in deuterated molecules. By selectively inverting specific regions of the 2H magic-angle spinning (MAS) sideband manifold to recouple some of the deuterons to nearby carbons, we distinguish dynamic and rigid residues in 1D and 2D 13C spectra. We demonstrate this approach on deuterated GB1, H/D exchanged GB1, and perdeuterated bacterial cellulose. Numerical simulations reproduce the measured mixing-time and 2H carrier-frequency dependence of the REDOR dephasing of bacterial cellulose. Combining numerical simulations with experiments thus allow the extraction of motionally averaged quadrupolar couplings from REDOR dephasing values.

3D MAS NMR Experiment Utilizing Through-Space 15N-15N Correlations.

Project description:We demonstrate a novel 3D NNC magic angle spinning NMR experiment that generates 15N-15N internuclear contacts in protein systems using an optimized 15N-15N proton assisted recoupling (PAR) mixing period and a 13C dimension for improved resolution. The optimized PAR condition permits the acquisition of high signal-to-noise 3D data that enables backbone chemical shift assignments using a strategy that is complementary to current schemes. The spectra can also provide distance constraints. The utility of the experiment is demonstrated on an M0Aβ1-42 fibril sample that yields high-quality data that is readily assigned and interpreted. The 3D NNC experiment therefore provides a powerful platform for solid-state protein studies and is broadly applicable to a variety of systems and experimental conditions.

Accurate Backbone 13 C and 15 N Chemical Shift Tensors in Galectin-3 Determined by MAS NMR and QM/MM: Details of Structure and Environment Matter.

Project description:Chemical shift tensors obtained from solid-state NMR spectroscopy are very sensitive reporters of structure and dynamics in proteins. While accurate 13 C and 15 N chemical shift tensors are accessible by magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR, their quantum mechanical calculations remain challenging, particularly for 15 N atoms. Here we compare experimentally determined backbone 13 Cα and 15 NH chemical shift tensors by MAS NMR with hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics/molecular dynamics (MD-QM/MM) calculations for the carbohydrate-binding domain of galectin-3. Excellent agreement between experimental and computed 15 NH chemical shift anisotropy values was obtained using the Amber ff15ipq force field when solvent dynamics was taken into account in the calculation. Our results establish important benchmark conditions for improving the accuracy of chemical shift calculations in proteins and may aid in the validation of protein structure models derived by MAS NMR.
