Chromatographically separable rotamers of an unhindered amide
نویسندگان
چکیده
Surprisingly stable formamide rotamers were encountered in the tetrahydroisoquinoline and morphinan series of alkaloids. We investigated the hindered rotation around the amide bond by dynamic high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) and kinetic measurements of the interconversion of the rotamers which can readily be separated by HPLC as well as TLC. The experimental results of the different methods were compared to each other as well as to results obtained by DFT calculations.

Asparagine and glutamine rotamers: B-factor cutoff and correction of amide flips yield distinct clustering.
Previous rotamer libraries showed little significant clustering for asparagine chi2 or glutamine chi3 values, but none of those studies corrected amide orientations or omitted disordered side chains. The current survey used 240 proteins at /=0.4 A). All H atoms were added and optimized, and amide orientat...

Amide-iminol tautomerism was studied for ionized oxamic acid (OA+•) in the gas phase using theDFT method with the UB3LYP functional and various basis sets {6-31++G(d,p), 6-311+G(d,p), and augcc-pVDZ}. Among twenty tautomers-rotamers possible for OA+•, eleven isomers were found to bethermodynamically stable. Similarly as for the neutral molecule, ionization (OA → OA+• + e) favors theamidization ...
متن کاملNQ-Flipper: recognition and correction of erroneous asparagine and glutamine side-chain rotamers in protein structures
The current Protein Data Bank (PDB) contains about 40 000 protein structures with approximately half a million incorrect atom positions resulting from erroneously assigned asparagine (Asn) and glutamine (Gln) rotamers. These errors affect applications in protein structure analysis, modeling and docking and therefore the detection, correction and prevention of such errors is highly desirable. We...
متن کاملOptimizing the control of apoptosis by amide/triazole isosteric substitution in a constrained peptoid.
Apoptosis is a biological process relevant to several human diseases that is strongly regulated through protein-protein complex formation. We have previously reported a peptidomimetic compound as potent apoptotic modulator. Structural studies of this compound showed the presence of cis/trans isomers of the exocyclic tertiary amide bond in slow exchange. This information encouraged us to perform...
متن کاملUsing pentafluorophenyl as a Lewis acid to stabilize a cis secondary amide conformation.
[reaction: see text]. N-(pyrimidin-2-yl)pentafluorobenzamide adopts a cis amide bond in the solid state with a pyrimidyl nitrogen pointing toward the center of the perfluorophenyl ring. In solution, the compound is a mixture of cis and trans rotamers. The conformational equilibrium is strongly solvent dependent, and the cis rotamer is entropically favored. It is proposed that the entropic drivi...
