Two new cyclic sulfite eudesmane derivatives have been investigated. Their (R) and (S) sulfur configuration and the structural arrangement of their "A" rings have been assigned by means of their 13C and 1H NMR chemical shifts and have been confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analyses. Microbial-transformation of these epimer cyclic sulfites and their dihydroxyeudesmane precursor have been studied...

NMR, infrared and Raman vibrational spectra of alpha-cypermethrin have been measured at room temperature. Infrared spectra were also recorded to low temperature. The spectra were analyzed by means of ab initio calculations. The conformational space of both enantiomers and some rotamers A, B and C of alpha-cypermethrin has been scanned using molecular dynamics and complemented with functional de...

We describe a simple approach to classify amino acid residue types in NMR spectra of proteins for supporting the backbone resonance assignments. It makes use of the differences in biosynthetic pathways of the 20 amino acids in Escherichia coli. Therefore, it is distinct from the parameters routinely exploited in the backbone resonance assignment such as chemical shifts and spin topology informa...

NMR chemical shifts in proteins depend strongly on local structure. The program TALOS establishes an empirical relation between 13C, 15N and 1H chemical shifts and backbone torsion angles phi and psi (Cornilescu et al. J Biomol NMR 13 289-302, 1999). Extension of the original 20-protein database to 200 proteins increased the fraction of residues for which backbone angles could be predicted from...

The metabolism of 3-([3-(2-Chlorophenyl)-4,5-dihydro-5-thioxo-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl]methyl)benzonitrile (AR-C133611XX) was studied in isolated dog hepatocytes. The major metabolite of AR-C133611XX was characterized by high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and NMR and found to be the product of direct glucuronidation. Evidence from 1H and 13C-NMR chemical shifts and a long-ran...

nowadays nmr spectroscopy becomes a powerful tool in chemistry because of the nmr chemical shifts. hartree–fock theory and the gauge-including atomic orbital (giao) methods are used in the calculation of 29si nmr chemical shifts of various silicate species in the silicate solution as initial components for zeolite synthesis both in gas and solution phase. calculations have been performed at geo...

Arthogalin is a neutral compound of the m.p. 285-286 °C and gives no reaction with KOH, NaOCl, KOH + NaOCl, FeCl3 or /?-phenylenediamine. The high resolution MS yielded the for­ mula C24H 34N20 6 (found 446.225, ealed 446.242) and the NMR spectrum showed that arthogalin is a cyclic depsipeptide composed of one molecule of phenylalanine, one molecule of valine and two molecules of a-hydroxyisova...

Atmospheric pressure nonequilibrium plasma jet has been applied to the synthesis of [60]fullerene oxides (C60On) for the first time. C60O and C60O2 were produced and isolated in high yields up to 44% and 21%, respectively. The structural assignment of C60O was confirmed by comparison with the reported spectroscopic data. Theoretical calculations of 13C NMR chemical shifts for eight isomers of C...

Solid-state 31P- and 13C-NMR spectra were recorded in melittin-lecithin vesicles composed of 1,2-dilauroyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DLPC) or 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC). Highly ordered magnetic alignments were achieved with the membrane surface parallel to the magnetic field above the gel-to-liquid crystalline phase transition temperature (Tc). Using these magneticall...

3-Ishwarone, (1), a sesquiterpene with a rare ishwarane skeleton, was isolated from Peperomia scandens Ruiz & Pavon (Piperaceae). Its structure was unambiguously determined by 1D- and 2D-NMR and infrared analyses, as well as by comparative theoretical studies which involved calculations of 13C-NMR chemical shifts, using the Density Functional Theory (DFT) with the mPW1PW91 hybrid functional and...
