Goal of the sessionAnalysis of the ID and 2D NMR spectra, DQF COSY,TOCSY and NOESY to obtain the as signment of the sugarand nucleobase protons of each nucleotide of the compound:

lntroduction1

The f1Ist step in the structure detennination of nucleic acids is the assignment of the lH-NMR spectrum

using two-dimensional J-correlated and noe experiments which show through-bonds and through-space

connectivities respectively.

~

;

A T wo types of J-correlated experiments can be distinguished

Experiments which provide information about directly coupled spins

Experiments which connect spins which are pan of a J-coupled network in which

individual spins are not necessarily coupled to all other spins in this network.

The COSY (COrrelation SpectroscopY) experiment [A. Bax and R. Freeman, J. Magn. Reson.,

44, p 542, 1981; W. P. Aue, E. Batholdi and R. R. Ernst, J. Chem. Phys., 64, p 2229, 1976] belong to the

first, the TOCSY experiment [M. W. Edwards and A. Bax, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 108, p 918, 1986] to the

second category.

The DQF-COSY [O. w. Piantini, 0. w. Sorensen and R. R. Ernst, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 104, p

6800, 1982] is now the standard COSY experiment for correlating J-coupled spins and for distinguishing

networks of coupled spins for as signment purposes. The fine-structure of the cross peaks in phase-

sensitive COSY spectra is characterised by a multiplet pattem, from which J-couplings can be obtained.

In principle, J-coupling can be extracted directly from these multiplets, but in practice one is confronted

with t wo problems:

r

The finite line width

The limited digital resolution

The line width has a profound effect on the peak separation in a multiplet. To obtain reliable coupling

constants, the line width should be a factor of t wo smaller than the coupling constants involved [K.

Wuthrich, NMR of proteins and nucleic acids, Wiley, New York, 1986].For N-type sugars, all antiphase

peaks in a HI'-H2' multiplet tend to cancel due to the small ]1'2' (2Hz), while for HI'-H2" multiplet and

for S-type sugars, only panial cancellation may occur.

The TOCSY spectrum, which shows both the direct and the relayed through-bond connectivities

along the Hl' to H5'/H5" pathway in a sugar unit, provide a means of recognising spins belonging to the

same spin system."The appearance of a 2D NOESY [J. Jeener, B. H. Meier, P. Bachffiann and R. R. Ernst, J. Chem. Phys.,

71, p 4546, 1979; S. Macura and R. R. Ernst, Mol. Phys., 41, p 95, 1980; S. Macura, Y. Huang, D. Suter

and R. R. Ernst, J. Magn. Reson., 43, p 259, 1981] spectruffi is very dependent on the 3D structure of the

nucleic acid fragment. Pair of protons having a short interproton distance will produce strong cross peaks.

The intensity of the--cross peaks depends on parameters such as the mixing time tm, the correlation time

tc, and can be very roughly described as being inversely proportional to the sixth power of the

interproton distance. Thus, noe experiments will provide infonnation on the spatial proximity's between

p. --protons and there~y-Qn the confonnation of a moleculer Noe is also used to morYtor the orientation of the

base (syn or anti) relative to the sugar ring and to monitor the confonnation of the sugar (North or South).

When a nucleotide has a sugar in the North conformation and a base in the anti confonnation, a strong

noe will be observed between the H8 (purine) I H6 (pyrimidine) of the base and the H3' of the sugar.
