The conformation of [Sar1]angiotensin II in water at neutral pH has been examined by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy at 400 MHz and in particular by comparing its 1H NMR spectral data with those of analogues modified at positions 1,4 and 6, namely [Sar1,Cha8]ANGII, [Des Asp1,Cha8]ANGII, [Aib1,Tyr(Me)4]ANGII, [Aib1,Tyr(Me)4,Ile8]ANGII, [N-MeAib1,Tyr(Me)4]ANGII, [N-MeAib1,Tyr(Me)4,Ile8]ANGII, ANGIII and [Sar1,Ile8]ANGII. Assignment of all proton resonances in these analogues was made possible by 2D COSY NMR experiments. The H-2 and H-4 protons for the histidine ring in [Sar1]ANGII, ANGII and ANGIII were shielded compared with the same protons in [Sar1,Ile8]ANGII, [Sar1,Cha8]ANGII and [Des Asp1,Cha8]ANGII; this shielding effect was not disturbed upon methylation of the tyrosine hydroxyl and/or replacement of residue 1 (sarcosine or aspartic acid) with aminoisobutyric acid (Aib) or N-methyl aminoisobutyric acid (N-MeAib). These data are consistent with our previous suggestion based on NMR studies in neutral DMSO that a characteristic folded conformation for ANGII previously observed in non-polar solvents can also be detected in water at neutral pH, but to a lesser degree.

A series of novel alkyl or aryiimidovanadium(IV) 5,10,15,20-tetra(p-tolyl)porphyrinates, VNR(TTP) (4a-4g), is described. They are obtained from the vanadyl complex, VO(TTP) (2a) via the reactive intermediate VCl2(TTP) (3b) which undergoes aminolysis with the respective primary amines RNH2 (R = tBu, Ph, pTol, pClPh, pAnis, pBiph, ptBuPh)**. The formulae are proved by elemental analyses and mass spectra. The paramagnetic complexes are stable to water and may thus be purified by chromatography but are hydrolyzed to give 2 a on treatment with acetic acid. The UV/VIS and 1H NMR spectra of 4a-4g are of the same type as 2a, but the former are slightly hypsochromically shifted, and the latter do not show the proton resonances of the organylimide ligands due to the proximity of the paramagnetic metal center.

The conformational dynamics and hydration of a DNA 14-mer containing the consensus Pribnow box sequence TATAAT have been measured using rotating frame T1 measurements and NOESY and ROESY in water. The H2 proton resonances of adenines show fast intermediate exchange behavior which can be attributed to a conformational transition that affects the distances between H2 protons of neighboring adenine residues, both sequential and cross-strand. The relaxation rate constant of the transition was measured at 4000s-1 at 25°C. Bound water close to the H2 proton of adenines was observed with residence times of >lns. At low temperature (5°C), the Pribnow box is in a closed state in which hydration water in the minor groove is tightly bound. At higher temperatures, the conformation opens up as judged by the increase in separation between sequential H2 protons of adenines and water exchanges freely from the minor groove. The conformational transition and the altered hydration pattern may be related to promoter function. The control of gene expression in procaryotes depends on the specific recognition by RNA polymerase of a six base-pair sequence (consensus: TTGACA) located at -35 from the transcription site, and a second one, named the Pribnow box (consensus: TATAAT) at about 10 base-pairs upstream the initiation site (Rosenberg and Court, 1979). It has been shown (Hawley and McClure, 1983) that strong promoters exhibit a high degree of homology with the consensus sequences, separated by an optimum consensus spacer length of 17 base pairs. The strength of a promoter depends on, among other thing, the rate of the initiation of transcription. This rate depends on the product between the thermodynamic and kinetic constants KB and k2 (McClure, 1980). The initial binding of RNA polymerase to the promoter results in the formation of a transcriptionally inactive ‘closed’ complex, characterized by the association constant KB. Isomerization to the active ‘open’ complex then occurs, and is characterized by the first order rate constant k2. Hence, the frequency of transcription initiation depends both on the strength of the polymerase-promoter interaction, and the ease with which this complex can isomerize to the productive state. Both of these events are likely to depend on the physical properties of the promoter.

Abstract A simple, specific, and rapid 'H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic method for the assay of phenylbutazone and oxyphenbutazone is described. Spectra are recorded in CDC13 containing 1,3- dichloro-5-nitrobenzene as an internal standard. The aromatic proton resonances for the standard, at 57.7 and 8.2, are well separated from those of phenylbutazone and oxyphenbutazone, which are in the region of 56.5-7.3 ppm. Average percent recoveries of phenylbutazone and oxyphenbutazone were 98.9 and 98.6 with standard deviations of 0.6 and 0.7, respectively. Commercial formulations were analyzed and the results obtained by the proposed method closely agreed with those found by the British Pharmacopoeia method
