References 191The application of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy for structure determination of proteins and nucleic acids (Wüthrich, 1986) with molecular mass exceeding 30 kDa is largely constrained by two factors, fast transverse relaxation of spins of interest and complexity of NMR spectra, both of which increase with increasing molecular size (Wagner, 1993b; Clore & Gronenborn, 1997, 1998b; Kay & Gardner, 1997). The good news is that neither of these factors represent a fundamental limit for the application of NMR techniques to protein structure determination in solution (Clore & Gronenborn, 1998a; Wüthrich, 1998; Wider & Wüthrich, 1999). In fact, in the past few years the size limitations imposed by these factors have been pushed up to 50–70 kDa by the use of 13C, 15N and 2H isotope labeling combined with selective reprotonation of individual chemical groups in conjunction with the use of triple-resonance experiments (Bax, 1994; Gardner et al. 1997; Gardner & Kay, 1998) and heteronuclear-resolved NMR (Fesik & Zuiderweg, 1988; Marion et al. 1989a; Otting & Wüthrich, 1990). Among the largest biomolecules whose 3D structure was solved by NMR are the 44 kDa trimeric ectodomain of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) gp41 (Caffrey et al. 1998) and 40–60 kDa particles of the elongation initiation factor 4E solubilized in CHAPS micelles (Matsuo et al. 1997; McGuire et al. 1998).

The signs of all proton–proton and proton–fluorine spin–spin coupling constants in 2-fluoro-3-methylpyridine have been determined by double and triple resonance experiments. The signs of the longrange coupling constants, JH,CH3 and JF,CH3 are the same as in fluorotoluene derivatives. Their magnitudes are consistent with the assumption that the nitrogen atom primarily polarizes the σ bonds in the molecule, leaving the π contribution to the long-range coupling relatively unaffected.

Infrared-microwave-microwave triple resonance experiments in ammonia are reported. The power modulated P13 line of a N2O laser was used to pump the ν2[Q(8,7)] transition of ammonia. The dependance of the intensity of the collisionally induced signals produced at the (7,7), (6,6), (5,5) and (4,4) microwave transitions on c. w. microwave power applied to the (8,7) transition was measured. From the null signal observed for the (7,7) transition when the (8,7) transition was saturated, it was concluded that population changes produced in the (7,7) levels occur predominently via direct collisional transitions which are strongly parity sensitive and that other processes have little contribution. The signals observed for the (6,6), (5,5) and (4,4) are produced by processes which are largely insensitive to parity.

Abstract Dimethyl or diethylamine reacts very smoothly in ethanol solution with catechols to the corresponding aminoquinones. The paramagnetic intermediates, the semiquinones, are investigated by ESR and ENDOR spectroscopy using the spin stabilisation technique with diarylthallium cations. The spectra of these radicals show clearly the thallium and nitrogen coupling and the hydrogen hyperfine structure. For some examples the signs of the proton coupling constants are determined by TRIPLE resonance experiments. The results indicate a negative spin density in one position of the unsymmetrically substituted radical 3. With the results obtained for the monocyclic aminosemiquinones the hyperfine structure of the adrenochrome semiquinone is analysed.
