A peak at a chemical shift of, say, 60 means that the carbon atoms which caused that peak need a magnetic field 60 millionths less than the field needed by TMS to produce resonance. A peak at a chemical shift of 60 is said to be downfield of TMS. The further to the left a peak is, the more downfield it is. Solvents for NMR spectroscopy NMR spectra are usually measured using solutions of the substance being investigated. A commonly used solvent is CDCl3. This is a trichloromethane (chloroform) molecule in which the hydrogen has been replaced by its isotope, deuterium. CDCl3 is also commonly used as the solvent in proton-NMR because it doesn't have any ordinary hydrogen nuclei (protons) which would give a line in a proton-NMR spectrum. It does, of course, have a carbon atom - so why doesn't it give a potentially confusing line in a C-13 NMR spectrum? In fact it does give a line, but the line has an easily recognizable chemical shift and so can be removed from the final spectrum. All of the spectra from the SDBS have this line removed to avoid any confusion. Contributors and Attributions Jim Clark (Chemguide.co.uk)

Water bound in bone of rat tail vertebrae was investigated by 1H NMR spectroscopy at 210-300 K and by the thermally stimulated depolarization current (TSDC) method at 190-265 K. The 1H NMR spectra of water clusters were calculated by the GIAO method with the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) basis set, and the solvent effects were analyzed by the HF/SM5.45/6-31G(d) method. The 1H NMR spectra of water in bone tissue include two signals that can be assigned to typical water (chemical shift of proton resonance deltaH=4-5 ppm) and unusual water (deltaH=1.2-1.7 ppm). According to the quantum chemical calculations, the latter can be attributed to water molecules without the hydrogen bonds through the hydrogen atoms, e.g., interacting with hydrophobic environment. An increase in the amount of water in bone leads to an increase in the amount of typical water, which is characterized by higher associativity (i.e., a larger average number of hydrogen bonds per molecule) and fills larger pores, cavities and pockets in bone tissue.

Using 1H and 13C NMR, FT IR spectroscopy together with quantum mechanical DFT calculations, we show that tetraethyl p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene tetraacetate (1) forms a stable equimolecular complex with proton in the form of hydroxonium ion in acetonitril-d3. Protons for this complex were offered by hydrogen bis(1,2-dicarbollyl) cobaltate (HDCC) and converted to hydroxonium ions by traces of water. The complex 1.H3O+ adopts a slightly asymmetric conformation, which is distinctly more cone-like than ligand 1. According to spectral evidence, the hydroxonium ion H3O+ is bound mainly to three of the

Structural information on osteocalcin or other noncollagenous bone proteins is very limited. We have solved the three-dimensional structure of calcium bound osteocalcin using (1)H 2D NMR techniques and proposed a mechanism for mineral binding. The protons in the 49 amino acid sequence were assigned using standard two-dimensional homonuclear NMR experiments. Distance constraints, dihedral angle constraints, hydrogen bonds, and (1)H and (13)C chemical shifts were all used to calculate a family of 13 structures. The tertiary structure of the protein consisted of an unstructured N terminus and a C-terminal loop (residues 16-49) formed by long-range hydrophobic interactions. Elements of secondary structure within residues 16-49 include type III turns (residues 20-25) and two alpha-helical regions (residues 27-35 and 41-44). The three Gla residues project from the same face of the helical turns and are surface exposed. The genetic algorithm-molecular dynamics simulation approach was used to place three calcium atoms on the NMR-derived structure. One calcium atom was coordinated by three side chain oxygen atoms, two from Asp30, and one from Gla24. The second calcium atom was coordinated to four oxygen atoms, two from the side chain in Gla 24, and two from the side chain of Gla 21. The third calcium atom was coordinated to two oxygen atoms of the side chain of Gla17. The best correlation of the distances between the uncoordinated Gla oxygen atoms is with the intercalcium distance of

Chimeric avidin (ChiAVD) is a product of rational protein engineering remarkably resistant to heat and harsh conditions. In quest of the fundamentals behind factors affecting stability we have elucidated the solution NMR spectroscopic structure of the biotin–bound form of ChiAVD and characterized the protein dynamics through 15N relaxation and hydrogen/deuterium (H/D) exchange of this and the biotin–free form. To surmount the challenges arising from the very large size of the protein for NMR spectroscopy, we took advantage of its high thermostability. Conventional triple resonance experiments

1,4- dihydropyridine (1,4-DHP) derivatives have been synthesized and characterized by 1H, 13C, 15N NMR spectroscopy, secondary H/D 13C isotope shifts, variable temperature 1H NMR experiments and quantum-chemical calculation. The intramolecular hydrogen-bonds NH•••O=C and CH•••O=C in these compounds were established by NMR and quantum-chemical studies. The downfield shift of the NH proton, accompanied by the upfield shift of the 15N NMR signals, the shift to the higher wave numbers of the NH stretching vibration in the IR spectra and the increase of the 1J(15N,1H) values may indicate the shorte

Antifungal screening of small-molecule natural product libraries showed that a column fraction (CF) derived from the plant extract of Sagittaria latifolia was active against the fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans. Dereplication analysis by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((1)H NMR) indicated the presence of new compounds in this CF. Subsequent fractionation of the plant extract resulted in the identification of two new isopimaradiene-type diterpenoids, 1 and 2. The structures of 1 and 2 were determined by chemical methods

© 2021, The Author(s). The influenza B M2 protein forms a water-filled tetrameric channel to conduct protons across the lipid membrane. To understand how channel water mediates proton transport, we have investigated the water orientation and dynamics using solid-state NMR spectroscopy and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. 13C-detected water 1H NMR relaxation times indicate that water has faster rotational motion in the low-pH open channel than in the high-pH closed channel. Despite this faster dynamics, the open-channel water shows higher orientational order, as manifested by larger motiona

The state of water in volcanic and synthetic silicate glasses is characterized by a number of different solid state NMR techniques. ^1H solid echo NMR is used to quantitate total water contents reliably down to levels of 0.1 wt%. High-speed ^1H magic-angle spinning NMR can be used to obtain relative species concentrations of OH and H_2O groups in glasses free from paramagnetic impurities. Similar results are obtained from deuterium quadrupolar echo NMR difference spectroscopy, utilizing the different spin-lattice relaxation times of OD and D_2O species. The results demonstrate that the percent
