    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Konformationseigenschaften des Furanoserings in β-Nucleosiden und Nucleotiden von Purin und Pyrimidin werden nach der PCILO-Methode unter Berücksichtigung der pseudorotatorischen Betrachtungsweise studiert. Die Rechnung läßt auf die Existenz zweier stabiler Konformationszonen schließen, die in der Umgebung der C(2′)-endo und der C(3′)-endo Konformationen liegen, und die im isolierten Furanosering durch Energiebarrieren der Größenordnung von 4 kcal/mol voneinander getrennt sind. In Nucleosiden wird eine der Barrieren (die durch den Weg O(1′)-exo-C(2′)-exo gekennzeichnete) sehr hoch. Die Relation zwischen dem Phasenwinkel der Pseudorotation, P, und dem Drehwinkel um die Glycosylbindung, χ CN, wird einer eingehenden Untersuchung unterworfen. Man beobachtet eine sehr zufriedenstellende Übereinstimmung mit den verfügbaren experimentellen Daten.
    Abstract: Résumé Les propriétés conformationnelles du noyau furanose des β-nucleosides et nucleotides des purines et pyrimidines sont étudiées par la méthode PCILO en faisant appel au concept de la pseudorotation. Les calculs indiquent l'existence de deux zones de conformations stables, centrées autour des conformations C(2′)-endo et C(3′)-endo, qui sont dans le sucre isolé séparées par des barrières de l'ordre de 4 kcal/mole. Dans les nucleosides, l'une de ces barrières (celle qui passe par le chemin O(1′)-exo-C(2′)-exo) devient très élevée. Une étude détaillée est effectuée sur la relation entre l'angle de phase de la pseudorotation P et l'angle de torsion autour de la liaison glycosylique, χ CN. Un excellent accord avec les données expérimentales disponibles est observé.
    Notes: Abstract The conformational properties of the furanose ring of purine- and pyrimidine-β-nucleosides and-nucleotides are studied quantum-mechanically with the help of the PCILO method, using the pseudorotational concept. The computations point to the existence of two stable conformational zones centered around the C(3′)-endo and C(2′)-endo conformations which in the isolated furanose ring are separated by barriers of the order of 4 kcal/mole. In nucleosides one of the barriers (the one running through the O(1′)-exo-C(2′)-exo path) becomes very high. A detailed study is made of the relation between the phase angle of pseudorotation, P, and the torsion angle about the glycosyl bond, χ CN. A very satisfactory agreement with the available experimental data is observed.

    Notes: Abstract Conformational properties of the nucleoside antibiotic 2′-amino-2′-deoxyguanosine have been investigated by the PCILO method along with those of its parent nucleoside, guanosine. This antibiotic, formed by replacement of the 2′-hydroxyl group by an amino group in guanosine, shows anti-tumor activity and also inhibits RNA and protein syntheses. Both C(2′)-endo and C(3′)-endo sugar conformations have been considered in the computations. The results indicate striking similarity between the conformations of the antibiotic and the parent nucleoside, particularly in simulated aqueous environment. The biological implication of this result in terms of the antibiotic activity is discussed.

    Notes: The conformational structure of the tetrapeptide Boc-Aib-Leu-Leu-Aib-OMe has been investigated by the PCILO method. The computational results show the formation of two closed β-turns, both of which are of type III, and the peptide backbone folds into a right-handed 310-helical conformation stabilized by two intramolecular 4 → 1 hydrogen bonds. The helix thus formed generates a pore of ∼3 Å along helix axis with hydrophobic amino acid side chains located on the outside of the helix, and this tendency of leucine side chains may enable leucinostatin A to fit into the membrane bilayer. The pore thus formed is cation-selective, and through this pore, the cation can pass only in a single file.

    Notes: Homonuclear two-dimensional (J,δ) proton spectroscopy has been suggested as a method for the measurement of 1H-31P coupling constants in oligonucleotides. The technique has been applied to a dinucleoside monophosphate G2′p5′C and a deoxydecanucleotide d(ACATCGATGT). PCILO energy calculations have been carried out to find minimum energy conformations with respect to the DNA backbone torsion angle ε, and these have been considered for the interpretation of the observed H3′-31P coupling constants in oligonucleotides.

    Notes: The solution conformation of [D-Ala2]-leucine enkephalin in its zwitterionic form in DMSO-d6 has been monitored by one- and two-dimensional proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy at 500 MHz. The resonances from the labile amide protons and the nonlabile protons have been assigned from the shift correlated spectroscopy. The chemical shift of the amide and C-α protons are found to vary with temperature but in opposite directions, except the C-α proton of the terminal tyrosine residue. This behaviour has been explained by the shifting of equilibrium between the zwitterionic and neutral forms of the [D-Ala2]-leucine enkephalin and probably conformational changes accompanying temperature variation. The low values of the temperature coefficients of leucine and glycine amide protons indicate that these protons are either intramolecularly hydrogen bonded or solvent shielded. The observation of sequential cross peaks in the nuclear Overhauser effect spectra obtained at various mixing times, τm (200-900 ms), indicate an extended backbone, which does not corroborate with the presence of a folded structure, i.e., β-bend type structure. The estimate of interproton distances in conjunction with the low values of temperature coefficients of the leucine and glycine amide protons and vicinal coupling constants 3JHN-CαH have been rationalized by the predominance of two γ-bends in the backbone conformation of [D-Ala2]-leucine enkephalin. The γ-bend around the D-Ala residue has Φ = 80° and ψ = 270°, while the one around Phe it has Φ = 285° and ψ = 90°.

    Notes: Classical potential functions (CPF) calculations on 3′-mononucleotides, the building blocks of nucleic acids, predict a correlation between the sugar ring pucker and the torsion angle Φ′ around the C3′—O3′ bond. In ribonucleotides, the value of Φ′ depends on the sugar pucker, viz. the C2′-endo sugar pucker is associated with Φ′ = 210° and 270°, while the C3′-endo sugar pucker favors only Φ′ = 210°. On the other hand, in deoxyribonucleotides, both sugar puckers show a preference for Φ′ = 180°. These theoretical predictions are fully corroborated by the results obtained from x-ray and nmr studies on mono-, di-, and polynucleotides.

    Notes: PCILO computations have been carried out on the conformation of 3'-deoxyadenosine (cordycepin) and 3'-amino-3'-deoxyadenosine. These nucleoside antibiotics results as a consequence of modification in the sugar part of adenosine. Both C(2')-endo and C(3')-endo sugar puckerings have been considered in the computations and the results obtained indicate that these nucleoside antibiotics have very similar conformational preferences as compared to those of the parent nucleoside adenosine. This similarity which is quite marked in aqueous solution has important biological significance.

    Notes: Minor modifications or substitutions in the sugar or in the base part of pyrimidine and purine nucleosides have a profound effect on their biological activity. These modified nucleosides usually become antiviral, antibacterial, or cancerostatic agents and they are collectively called nucleoside antibiotics. The conformational properties of some of these nucleoside antibiotics have been studied by the PCILO method. The results obtained from such study indicate that the conformational preferences of these nucleoside antibiotics are very similar to those of their parent nucleosides and especially so in the situations that occur in aqueous solutions. The important biological significance of these results is that these nucleoside antibiotics can easily get incorporated into growing chains of DNA and RNA by mimicking their parent nucleosides and can interfere with the protein synthesis of RNA or DNA synthesis.

    Notes: Conformational properties of pyrazofurins, which were previously designated as pyrazomycins in both β- and α-anomeric forms, have been investigated by the PCILO method. The results indicate that the most preferred conformation for β anomer is anti-gg, while that for α anomer is syn-gg when intramolecular hydrogen bonding between sugar and the base is allowed. However, in the absence such hydrogen bonding, which mimicks the situation in aqueous solution, both β and α pyrazofurins show exactly similar preference for anti-gg conformation. The biological significance of this result has been discussed. Further the β anomer is energetically more favorable than the α anomer. This result is in agreement with the experimental observations, which indicate that β pyrazofurin is more populated than a pyrazofurin in aqueous solution at room temperature.
