Rotational-resonance distance measurements in multi-spin systems
摘要:
It is demonstrated that internuclear distances can be evaluated from rotational-resonance (RR) experiments in uniformly C-13-labelled compounds. The errors in the obtained distances are less than 10%, without the need to know any parameters of the spin system except the isotropic chemical shifts of all spins. We describe the multi-spin system with a simple fictitious spin-1/2 model. The influence of the couplings to the passive spins (J and dipolar coupling) is described by an empirical constant offset from the rotational-resonance condition. Using simulated data for a three-spin system, we show that the two-spin model describes the rotational-resonance transfer curves well as long as none of the passive spins is close to a rotational-resonance condition with one of the active spins. The usability of the two-spin model is demonstrated experimentally using a sample of acetylcholine perchlorate with labelling schemes of various levels of complexity. Doubly-, triply-, and fully labelled Compounds lead to strongly varying RR polarization-transfer curves but the evaluated distances using the two-spin model are identical within the expected error limits and coincide with the distance from the X-ray structure. Rotational-resonance distance measurements in fully labelled compounds allow, in particular, the measurement of weak couplings in the presence of strong couplings. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc.
