    Notes: Abstract Heteronuclear dipolar couplings of the protein backbone have proven to have a big impact on the accuracy of protein NMR structures. H,H dipolar couplings might have the same impact on side chains. Here we present a method that combines both heteronuclear and homonuclear dipolar couplings to investigate the local conformation of methylene groups. A new pulse sequence (SPITZE-HSQC) is presented, that allows to measure the two C,H and the H,H dipolar couplings at the same time, using spin state selective transfers. The new method has been applied to the methylene groups of glycines in the protein ubiquitin. The C,H and the H,H dipolar couplings might have a key role in fast stereospecific assignment of protons in CH2 groups.

    Notes: Abstract A program, DipoCoup, is presented that allows to search the protein data bank for proteins which have a three dimensional fold that is at least partially homologous to a protein under investigation. The three dimensional homology search uses secondary structure alignment based on chemical shifts and dipolar couplings or pseudocontact shifts for the three dimensional orientation of secondary structure elements. Moreover, the program offers additional tools for handling and analyzing dipolar couplings.

    Notes: 1-(2′-Deoxy-2′-fluororibofuranosyl)pyrimidines were synthesized and incorporated into an RNA oligonucleotide to give 5′-r[CfGCf(UfUfCfG)GCfG]-3′ (Cf: short form of Cd2′f2′ = 2′-deoxy-2′-fluorocytidine; Uf: short form of Ud2′f2′ = 2′-deoxy-2′-fluorouridine). The oligomer was investigated by means of UV, CD, and NMR spectroscopy to address the question of how F-labels can substitute 13C-labels in the ribose ring. Through-space (NOE) and through-bond (scalar couplings) experiments were performed that make use of the ameliorated chemical-shift dispersion induced by 19F as an alternative heteronucleus. A comparison of the structures of fluorinated vs. unmodified oligomer is given. It turns out that the fluorinated oligonucleotide exists in a 14:3 equilibrium between a hairpin and a duplex conformation, in contrast to the unmodified oligonucleotide which predominantly adopts the hairpin conformation. Furthermore, the fluorinated hairpin structure adopts two distinct conformations that differ in the sugar conformation of the Uf5 and Cf6 nucleoside units, as detected by the 19F-NMR chemical shifts. The role of the 2′-OH group as stabilizing element in RNA secondary structure is discussed.
