Sparsely labeled NMR samples provide opportunities to study larger biomolecular assemblies than is traditionally done by NMR. This requires new computational tools that can handle the sparsity and ambiguity in the NMR datasets. The MELD (modeling employing limited data) Bayesian approach was assessed to be the best performing in predicting structures from sparsely labeled NMR data in the 13th edition of the Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction (CASP) event—and limitations of the methodology were also noted. In this report, we evaluate the nature and difficulty in modeling unassigned sparsely labeled NMR datasets and report on an improved methodological pipeline leading to higher-accuracy predictions. We benchmark our methodology against the NMR datasets provided by CASP 13.

We report a key proof of principle of a new acceleration method [Modeling Employing Limited Data (MELD)] for predicting protein structures by molecular dynamics simulation. It shows that such Boltzmann-satisfying techniques are now sufficiently fast and accurate to predict native protein structures in a limited test within the Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction (CASP) community-wide blind competition.

The systematic comparison of the atomic structure of solid compounds has become an important task in crystallography, chemistry, physics and materials science, in particular in the context of structure prediction and structure determination of crystalline solids. In this work, an efficient and robust algorithm for the comparison of periodic structures is presented, which is based on the mapping of the point patterns of the two structures into each other. This algorithm has been implemented as the moduleCMPZin the structure visualization and analysis programKPLOT.

Reaction of (C6H5CN)2PdCl2 and 1,3-dimethylenecyclohexane led to an exocyclic π-enyl complex of formula (C8H13PdCl)2-bis(η3-2-methylene-6-methylcyclohexyl)(di-µ-chloro)-dipalladium. IR and 1H NMR data are in agreement with this formulation.The compound is monoclinic, with unit cell dimensions α = 499.97 ± 0.08, b =1342.26 ± 0.19, c =1379.60 ± 0.20 pm, β = 99.43 ± 0.02°, space group C5h2-P21/C, Ζ = 2, dX-ray = 1.83 g/cm3.The structure was determined from three-dimensional X-ray data by Patterson and Fourier methods. Least squares refinement by use of 1045 independent reflections has reached R1 = 5.6%.

Abstract The X-ray structure of acantholide, a melampolide sesquiterpene lactone from Acanthosper­mum glabratum (D C .) Willd. was determined by the aid of direct methods. The compound was cy­totoxic but displayed no antitumor activity. Evaluation of the X-ray and NMR data indicated that the same conformation exists in the solid state as in solution.

Abstract. The application of anisotropic nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) parameters for the correct structural assignment of small molecules requires the use of partially ordered media. Previously we demonstrated that the use of P3D simulations using poly(γ-benzyl-L-glutamate) (PBLG) as an alignment medium allows for the determination of the correct diastereomer from extremely sparse NMR data. Through the analysis of the structural characteristics of small molecules in different alignment media, here we show that when steric or electrostatic factors dominate the alignment, P3D-PBLG retains its diastereomer discrimination power. We also demonstrate that P3D simulations can define the different conformations of a flexible small molecule from sparse NMR data.

A useful short-cut was developed to limit the number of molecular conformations that need to be regarded in crystal structure prediction calculations, which led to the crystal structure determination of new methanol solvate – hydrate of catechin.
