Abstract:
Controlling NMR shifts by lanthanides tagged to a "symmetrical" N-glycan reveals individual resonances for the residues of the otherwise identical A and B arms. This method provides a global perspective of conformational features and interactions in solution.

¹H NMR: Interpreting Distorted and Overlapping Signals
1.3K
Spin systems where the difference in chemical shifts of the coupled nuclei is greater than ten times J are called first-order spin systems. These nuclei are weakly coupled, and their chemical shifts and coupling constant can generally be estimated from the well-separated signals in the spectrum.
As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are...

¹H NMR: Complex Splitting
1.7K
A proton M that is coupled to a proton X results in doublet signals for M. However, NMR-active nuclei can be simultaneously coupled to more than one nonequivalent nucleus. When M is coupled to a second proton A, such as in styrene oxide, each peak in the doublet is split into another doublet.
