Article Title: Determination of (3)J(H3(′)(i), P(i+1)) and (3)J(H5(′)(i)/5(″)(i), P(i)) coupling constants in (13)C-labeled nucleic acids using constant-time HMQC
Abstract: A novel 1H-13C correlated two-dimensional experiment, CT-HMQC-J, for the measurement of three-bond proton-phosphorus coupling constants in 13C-labeled DNA is described. The experiment is based on the intensity difference of 1H-13C cross peaks in the presence and absence of the proton-phosphorus coupling interaction during the constant-time period in HMQC experiment. The 3J(H, P) coupling constants can be easily extracted from the intensity ratios of the two experiments. The method has been applied to a uniformly 13C, 15N-labeled d(GGAGGAT) 7-mer DNA sample. The proton-phosphorus coupling constants determined from CT-HMQC-J, together with the other three-bond coupling constants, are used to determine β and ∈ torsion angles. The introduction of β and ∈ restraints has improved the convergence as well as the quality of d(GGAGGAT) structure. © 1999 Academic Press.
