The use of NMR residual dipolar couplings in aqueous dilute liquid crystalline medium for conformational studies of complex oligosaccharides.

چکیده
C-H dipolar coupling values were measured for a natural-abundance sample of the pentasaccharide beta-D-Galp-(1-->3)-[alpha-L-Fucp-(1-->4)]-beta-D-GlcNAcp-(1 -->3)-beta-D- Galp-(1-->4)-beta-D-Glcp ('lacto-N-fucopentaose 2') (LNF-2), in a 7.5% solution of dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine-dihexanoyl phosphatidylcholine bicelle liquid crystals oriented in the NMR magnetic field. Interpretation of the dipolar coupling data and NOE confirms the conformational model for the Lewis(a) trisaccharide epitope based on NOE, molecular dynamics simulations, and scalar coupling data and provided new structural information for the remaining residues of the pentasaccharide. Since residual dipolar coupling provides information on long-range order, it is a valuable complement to other types of NMR data such as NOE and scalar coupling for exploring conformations of complex oligosaccharides.

Evidence of molecular alignment fluctuations in aqueous dilute liquid crystalline media
Protein dynamics can be studied by NMR measurements of aqueous dilute liquid crystalline samples. However, the measured residual dipolar couplings are sensitive not only to internal fluctuations but to all changes in internuclear vectors relative to the laboratory frame. We show that side-chain fluctuations and bond librations in the ps-ns time scale perturb the molecular shape and charge distr...

A method is described for quantitatively investigating the dynamic conformation of small oligosaccharides containing an alpha(1 --> 6) linkage. It was applied to the oligosaccharide Man-alpha(1 --> 3) [Man-alpha(1 --> 6)] Man-alpha-O-Me, which is a core region frequently observed in N-linked glycans. The approach tests an aqueous molecular dynamics simulation, capable of predicting microscopic ...

In isotropic solution, internuclear dipolar couplings average to zero as a result of rotational diffusion. By dissolving macromolecules in a dilute aqueous nematic discotic liquid-crystalline medium containing widely spaced magnetically oriented particles, a tunable degree of solute alignment with the magnetic field can be created while retaining the high resolution and sensitivity of the regul...

The low density of protons in nucleic acids and the paucity of long-range NOE restraints make NMR structure determination a notoriously difficult problem.1 Measurement of residual dipolar couplings for nucleic acids dissolved in a dilute aqueous liquid crystalline medium can alleviate this problem,2-5 but does not provide direct information on the phosphodiester linkages connecting the nucleoti...

Residual heteronuclear dipolar couplings obtained from partially oriented protein samples can provide unique NMR constraints for protein structure determination. However, partial orientation of protein samples also causes severe 1H line broadening resulting from residual 1H-1H dipolar couplings. In this communication we show that band-selective 1H homonuclear decoupling during data acquisition ...
