¹H NMR: Complex Splitting

2.2K
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.
Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied...

2D NMR: Overview of Homonuclear Correlation Techniques

805
Homonuclear correlation spectroscopy (COSY) is a powerful technique used in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to study the correlations between nuclei of the same type within a molecule. It provides information about scalar couplings between adjacent nuclei, which helps determine connectivity and structural information. There are several COSY variants, each with its unique strengths and experimental parameters.
COSY90 is the standard two-dimensional (2D) COSY experiment that...

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation

7.4K
Because the DNA segments are cut and reorganized in a direction-specific manner, site-specific recombination has emerged as an efficient genetic engineering technique. Flippase and Cyclization recombinases or Flp and Cre, respectively, are two members of the tyrosine recombinase family derived from bacteriophages, that are used to mediate site-specific DNA insertions, deletions, and targeted expression of proteins in mammalian cell lines.
The recognition sites for Cre recombinase called LoxP...

Area of Science:

  • Structural biology
  • Crystallography
  • Computational biology

Background:

  • Ab initio phasing is crucial for determining macromolecular structures when experimental phasing is challenging.
  • Existing methods often struggle with low-resolution data or incomplete structural information.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the clustering of partial solutions in reciprocal space for macromolecular phasing.
  • To develop and assess a strategy for combining partial solutions generated by ARCIMBOLDO.
  • To solve a previously unknown macromolecular structure using this enhanced phasing approach.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing ARCIMBOLDO for ab initio phasing with small model fragments (secondary or tertiary structures).
  • Applying density modification and multisolution refinement.
  • Analyzing the clustering of partial solutions in reciprocal space using F-weighted mean phase difference as a figure of merit.
  • Assessing strategies for combining partial solutions, including the use of partially overlapping search fragments.

Main Results:

  • Clustering of partial solutions in reciprocal space is feasible, especially in nonpolar space groups using secondary-structure models.
  • Density modification prior to origin shift determination enhances the discrimination of correct solutions.
  • A strategy for combining partial solutions, including those from partially overlapping fragments, was successfully applied.
  • A previously unknown macromolecular structure was solved by combining clustered correct partial solutions.

Conclusions:

  • The analysis of reciprocal space clustering provides a robust method for combining partial solutions in macromolecular phasing.
  • ARCIMBOLDO, enhanced with this clustering strategy, offers a powerful tool for ab initio phasing of challenging structures.
  • This approach significantly advances the ability to solve macromolecular structures at resolutions below atomic detail.
