Abstract
4'-C-[(4-Trifluoromethyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)methyl]thymidine was synthesized and incorporated as a phosphoramidite into oligonucleotide sequences. Its applicability as a sensor for the (19)F NMR spectroscopic detection of DNA and RNA secondary structures was demonstrated. On DNA, the (19)F NMR measurements were focused on monitoring of duplex-triplex conversion, for which this fluorine-labeled 2'-deoxynucleoside proved to be a powerful sensor. This sensor seemingly favors DNA, but its behavior in the RNA environment also turned out to be informative. As a demonstration, invasion of a 2'-O-methyl oligoribonucleotide into an RNA hairpin model (HIV-1 TAR) was monitored by (19)F NMR spectroscopy. According to the thermal denaturation studies by UV spectroscopy, the effect of the 4'-C-(4-trifluoromethyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)methyl moiety on the stability of these DNA and RNA models was marginal.

[MWClarkson blog] Alternative side-chain structures from methyl CPMG
Alternative side-chain structures from methyl CPMG
http://www.researchblogging.org/public/citation_icons/rb2_large_gray.pngAs I have mentioned before on this blog, the use of tools like CS-ROSETTA holds the promise of determining protein structures using only the chemical shifts of its backbone atoms. In addition to potentially making NOEs and RDCs redundant, this technology allows biologists to determine the conformations of minor members of the structural ensemble, which are very difficult to obtain using conventional approaches in population-dominated techniques like NMR and X-ray...

Selective Detection of 13CHD2 Signals from a Mixture of 13CH3/13CH2D/13CHD2 Methyl Isotopomers in Proteins
Selective Detection of 13CHD2 Signals from a Mixture of 13CH3/13CH2D/13CHD2 Methyl Isotopomers in Proteins

In NMR spectra of partially deuterated proteins methyl correlations are commonly observed as a combination of signals from 13CH3, 13CH2D and 13CHD2 isotopomers. In a number of NMR applications, methyl groups of the 13CHD2 variety are targeted because of their AX-like character and concomitant simplification of the...

Investigation of the utility of selective methyl protonation for determination of membrane protein structures
Investigation of the utility of selective methyl protonation for determination of membrane protein structures
Steve C. C. Shih, Ileana Stoica and Natalie K. Goto
Journal of Biomolecular NMR; 2008; 42(1); pp 49-58
Abstract
Polytopic α-helical membrane proteins present one of the final frontiers for protein structural biology, with significant challenges causing severe under-representation in the protein structure databank. However, with the advent of hardware and methodology geared to the study of large molecular weight complexes, solution NMR is being increasingly considered as a tool...

Journal of Biomolecular NMR; 2007; 39(2) pp 97 - 105
Abstract:
Simultaneous recording of different NMR parameters is an efficient way to reduce the overall experimental time and speed up structural studies of biological macromolecules. This can especially be beneficial in the case of fast NMR-based drug screening applications or for collecting NOE restraints, where prohibitively long data collection...
