Starting from the approximations of the i.n.d.o.-l.c.a.o.-s.c.f. method and using approximate Hartree–Fock perturbation theory, a method has been developed whereby the nuclear shielding of a nucleus for a first row element may be estimated. The method avoids the use of the average energy approximation. The method is demonstrated by calculating the 19F chemical shifts in the first row binary fluorides relative to the fluorine molecule.

Nuclear shielding parameters have been obtained for 24 intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded phenols and naphthols. The shielding parameters are corrected for large diamagnetic anisotropies and a value ΔσOH obtained which represents the change in shielding parameter in parts per million with reference to the infinite dilution chemical shift of phenol, α-naphthol, or β-naphthol. These values of ΔσOH are approximately proportional to the change ΔvOH in the OH stretching frequency on formation of the hydrogen bond.

The chemical shifts of the 14N nucleus in a number of nitrogen–halogen–oxygen compounds have been estimated within the framework of the i.n.d.o.-l.c.a.o.-s.c.f. method using approximate perturbed Hartree–Fock theory. Generally good agreement with experiment is achieved. The calculations indicate that the variation in 14N chemical shift is due to either changes in orbital angular momentum, or to the presence of low lying excited states, or to a combination of both effects.

Background: Nanobodies, or VHHs, are derived from heavy chain-only antibodies (hcAbs) found in camelids. They overcome some of the inherent limitations of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and derivatives thereof, due to their smaller molecular size and higher stability, and thus present an alternative to mAbs for therapeutic use. Two nanobodies, Nb23 and Nb24, have been shown to similarly inhibit the self-aggregation of very amyloidogenic variants of β2-microglobulin. Here, the structure of Nb23 was modeled with the Chemical-Shift (CS)-Rosetta server using chemical shift assignments from nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy experiments, and used as prior knowledge in PONDEROSA restrained modeling based on experimentally assessed internuclear distances. Further validation was comparatively obtained with the results of molecular dynamics trajectories calculated from the resulting best energy-minimized Nb23 conformers. Methods: 2D and 3D NMR spectroscopy experiments were carried out to determine the assignment of the backbone and side chain hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon resonances to extract chemical shifts and interproton separations for restrained modeling. Results: The solution structure of isolated Nb23 nanobody was determined. Conclusions: The structural analysis indicated that isolated Nb23 has a dynamic CDR3 loop distributed over different orientations with respect to Nb24, which could determine differences in target antigen affinity or complex lability.

Abstract14N chemical shifts of a series of cyclic and noncyclic aminophosphines are reported. The nuclear shielding of nitrogen decreases with increasing number of halogen substituents at phosphorus as well as with increasing number of phosphinyl groups attached to nitrogen. In addition to the influence of electronegativity PN(π)-interactions may account for the observed shielding. Steric effects are discussed.

The circular dichroism spectra are reported for tetraamminecobalt(III) complexes with the chiral amino alcohols 2-aminopropan-1-ol, 2- aminobutan-1-ol, 1-aminopropan-2-ol, 2-amino-1-phenyl-ethanol, ψ- ephedrine and ephedrine with the alcohol groups protonated (OH) and deprotonated (O-). The solvent dependence of the chemical shifts of the NH protons was investigated to determine the effects of stereoselective solvation on the circular dichroism, but, in contrast to some other related systems, the chemical shift difference between the two NH2 protons was relatively insensitive to solvent. Consistent with this, the circular dichroism spectra of the tetraphenylborate salts of the deprotonated complexes were found not to be markedly dependent on solvent. Tetraammine-{(-)-ψ-ephedrine)cobalt(III) and tetraammine{(-)- ephedrine}cobalt(III) were found to have the same signs of Cotton effects for the various d-d transitions, whereas bis{(-)-ψ- ephedrine}copper(II) and bis{(-)-ephedrine}copper(II) had opposite signs. This has been explained in terms of different conformer populations in the cobalt(III) and copper(II) systems.

Nedd4 (neuronal precursor cell-expressed developmentally down-regulated 4) is a ubiquitin-protein ligase containing multiple WW domains. We have previously demonstrated the association between the WW domains of Nedd4 and PPxY (PY) motifs of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC). In this paper, we report the assignment of backbone 1Hα, 1HN, 15N, 13C', 13Cα, and aliphatic 13C resonances of a fragment of rat Nedd4 (rNedd4) containing the two C-terminal WW domains, WW(II+III), complexed to a PY motif-containing peptide derived from the β subunit of rat ENaC, the βP2 peptide. The secondary structures of these two WW domains, determined from chemical shifts of 13Cα and 13Cβ resonances, are virtually identical to those of the WW domains of the Yes-associated protein YAP65 and the peptidyl-prolyl isomerase Pin1. Triple resonance experiments that detect the 1Hα chemical shift were necessary to complete the chemical shift assignment, owing to the large number of proline residues in this fragment of rNedd4. A new experiment, which correlates sequential residues via their 15N nuclei and also detects 1Hα chemical shifts, is introduced and its utility for the chemical shift assignment of sequential proline residues is discussed. Data collected on the WW(II+III)-βP2 complex indicate that these WW domains have different affinities for the βP2 peptide.Key words: WW domain, PY motif, Nedd4, ENaC, NMR.
