The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of the cardenolides digitoxigenin, digoxigenin, digitoxin, and mono- and bis-digitoxigenin digitoxosides have been completely assigned by two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. The techniques used include phase-sensitive COSY, multiple relay COSY, and carbon–proton correlation (HETCOR and HMQC) spectra. Various aspects of the solution conformation of the steroid moiety of digitoxin and digoxigenin could be determined from coupling constants and NOE difference experiments and they are indicative of an all-chair conformation. The carbohydrate rings in digitoxin and the mono- and bis-digitoxigenin digitoxosides are also in the chair conformation. Keywords: cardenolides, digitoxigenin, digitoxin, 2-dimensional NMR, conformational analysis.

Ac-tubulin-α(430–441)-amide, a synthetic fragment of tubulin, has been studied by 300-MHz 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in 80% CD3OH/20% D2O solution at neutral pH. The results, based on two-dimensional phase-sensitive techniques such as COSY, RELAY, and ROESY, reveal that the dodecapeptide exists in a non-random conformation. The conformation can be described as an α helix for the N-terminal five residues, followed by an extended section. The extended part exhibits a significant change in the nuclear Overhauser enhancement (nOe) pattern between units number 9 and 10. Together with long-range nOe data this can be attributed to a folding back that allows the close proximity of the C-terminal half of the extended chain and amino acids 3 to 5 of the α-helical turn. The existence of an α helix is in good agreement with previously published circular dichroism data.

Type I collagen is the predominant collagen in the cornea with type V collagen being a quantitatively minor component. However, the content of type V collagen (10-20%) in the cornea is high when compared to other tissues containing predominantly type I collagen. The corneal stroma has a homogeneous distribution of these two collagens, however, immunochemical localization of type V collagen requires the disruption of type I collagen structure. This indicates that these collagens may be arranged as heterpolymeric fibrils. This arrangement may be responsible for the control of fibril diameter necessary for corneal transparency. The purpose of this work is to study the in vitro assembly of collagen type V and to determine whether the interactions of these collagens influence fibril morphology.
