Abstract
1H NMR studies at 300 MHz and 500 MHz are reported on the ribotetranucleotide AACC. The complete 1H NMR spectral assignment at 20.degree. C is given. Two-dimensional NMR was used to elucidate spin multiplets in crowded regions. Nuclear Overhauser enhancement (NOE) experiments made an unambiguous spectral assignment possible and yielded information on interproton distances. The N/S equilibrium of the riboses and the rotamer populations around some backbone torsion angles are presented. A large preference for N-type ribose and .gamma.+ and .beta.t backbone torsions is observed, in particular in the central A-C unit of AACC. Information on distances between protons of different nucleotide units, obtained from NOE experiments, constitutes a probe of base-base stacking. AACC offers a good model for RNA single-strand conformation.This publication has 35 references indexed in Scilit:
