The reliability of vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy to discriminate four diastereomeric cedranol acetates 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 by means of their absolute configuration is examined. The usage of CompareVOA software to quantify comparisons of the measured infrared (IR) and VCD spectra with the corresponding simulated spectra at the B3LYP/DGDZVP and B3PW91/DGDZVP levels of theory for each diastereomer enabled the B3PW91 functional to be qualified as superior to the B3LYP functional for vibrational calculations of 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 . Analogously, a set of quantitative VCD spectra cross‐comparisons of 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 unambiguously distinguished the diastereomers using B3PW91 and failed using B3LYP. Remarkably, quantitative IR spectra cross‐comparisons of 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 using B3PW91 or B3LYP functionals demonstrated that the achiral spectroscopic IR technique is not able to distinguish cedranol acetate diastereomers. VCD comparisons using anisotropy g‐factor values of bands in the 1550–950 cm‐1 region of the spectra were of aid to facilitate visual spectra matching for each diastereomer.

The rotational strengths and the robustness values of amide‐I and amide‐II vibrational modes of For(AA)nNHMe (where AA is Val, Asn, Asp, or Cys, n = 1–5 for Val and Asn; n = 1 for Asp and Cys) model peptides with α‐helix and β‐sheet backbone conformations were computed by density functional methods. The robustness results verify empirical rules drawn from experiments and from computed rotational strengths linking amide‐I and amide‐II patterns in the vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra of peptides with their backbone structures. For peptides with at least three residues (n ≥ 3) these characteristic patterns from coupled amide vibrational modes have robust signatures. For shorter peptide models many vibrational modes are nonrobust, and the robust modes can be dependent on the residues or on their side chain conformations in addition to backbone conformations. These robust VCD bands, however, provide information for the detailed structural analysis of these smaller systems. Chirality 27:625–634, 2015 © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.  相似文献

Vibrational CD (VCD) of amide I and II vibrations of several α-helical polypeptides have been measured in solution. For the amide II as well as the amide I [previously published: Lal, B.B. & Nafie, L.A. (1982) Biopolymers 21 , 2161] we find the VCD to be characteristic of the polypeptide secondary structure. Amide II bands of right-handed α helices were all found to have negative VCD and to have their maximum rotational strength for the parallel (low-energy) component. However, left-handed α helices formed from L -amino acids gave positive amide II bands at higher frequencies than found for the right-handed helices, indicating that the VCD was sensitive to the stereochemical difference. The amide-I VCD spectra of some deuterated right-handed α-helical polypeptides have a new negative feature to low frequency that does not reflect theoretical predictions but also appears to be stereochemically sensitive. Amide-II and amide-A VCD of a few deuterated polypeptides imply retention of the secondary-structure-dependent characteristics seen in the hydrogenated VCD.  相似文献

Peptide models built from cis‐ and trans‐2‐aminocyclobutane‐1‐carboxylic acids (ACBCs) are studied in the solid phase by combining Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) absorption spectroscopy, vibrational circular dichroism (VCD), and quantum chemical calculations using density functional theory (DFT). The studied systems are N‐tert‐butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) derivatives of 2‐aminocyclobutanecarboxylic acid (ACBC) benzylamides, namely Boc?(cis‐ACBC)?NH?Bn and Boc?(trans‐ACBC)?NH?Bn. These two diastereomers show very different VCD signatures and intensities, which of the trans‐ACBC derivative being one order of magnitude larger in the region of the ν (CO) stretch. The spectral signature of the cis‐ACBC derivative is satisfactorily reproduced by that of the monomer extracted from the solid‐state geometry of related ACBC derivatives, which shows that no long‐range effects are implicated for this system. In terms of hydrogen bonds, the geometry of this monomer is intermediate between the C6 and C8 structures (exhibiting a 6‐ or 8‐membered cyclic NH?O hydrogen bond) previously evidenced in the gas phase. The benzyl group must be in an extended geometry to reproduce satisfactorily the shape of the VCD spectrum in the ν (CO) range, which qualifies VCD as a potential probe of dispersion interaction. In contrast, reproducing the IR and VCD spectrum of the trans‐ACBC derivative requires clusters larger than four units, exhibiting strong intermolecular H‐bonding patterns. A qualitative agreement is obtained for a tetramer, although the intensity enhancement is not reproduced. These results underline the sensitivity of VCD to the long‐range organisation in the crystal.  相似文献

The absolute configuration of semisynthetic (?)‐3α,6β‐acetoxytropane 1 , prepared from (?)‐6β‐hydroxyhyoscyamine 2 , has been determined using vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy. The vibrational spectra (IR and VCD) were calculated using DFT at the B3LYP/DGDZVP level of theory for the eight more stable conformers which account for 99.97% of the total relative abundance in the first 10 kcal/mol range. The calculated VCD spectra of all considered conformations showed two distinctive spectral ranges, one between 1300 and 1200 cm?1, and the other one in the 1150–950 cm?1 region. When compared with the experimental VCD spectrum, the first spectral region confirmed the calculated conformational preferences, whereas the second region showed little change with conformation, thus allowing the determination of the absolute configuration of 1 as (3S,6S)‐3α,6β‐diacetoxytropane. Also, the bands in the second region showed similarities between 1 and 2 in both the experimental and calculated VCD spectra, suggesting that these bands are mainly related to the absolute configuration of the rigid tropane ring system, since they show conformational independency, no variations with the nature of the substituent, and are composed by closely related vibrational modes.

Vibrational circular dichroism spectra (VCD) in the mid‐IR region and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra for three carnitine derivatives in the form of hydrochloride salts were recorded in deuterated methanol solutions. Density Functional Theory calculations help one to understand the significance of the observed VCD bands. VCD and ECD spectra are informative about the absolute configuration of the molecule, but VCD data reveal also some conformational aspects in the N,N,N‐trimethyl moiety and inform us about intermolecular interactions gained from the carbonyl stretching region for the acyl substituted carnitines.

The optical spectroscopic characterization of γ‐turns in solution is uncertain and their distinction from β‐turns is often difficult. This work reports systematic ECD and vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopic studies on γ‐turn model cyclic tetrapeptides cyclo(Ala‐β‐Ala‐Pro‐β‐Ala) ( 1 ), cyclo(Pro‐β‐Ala‐Pro‐β‐Ala) ( 2 ) and cyclo(Ala‐β‐Ala‐Ala‐β‐Ala) ( 3 ). Conformational analysis performed at the 6‐31G(d)/B3LYP level of theory using an adequate PCM solvent model predicted one predominant conformer for 1‐3 , featuring two inverse γ‐turns. The ECD spectra in ACN of 1 and 2 are characterized by a negative n→π* band near 230 nm and a positive π→π* band below 200 nm with a long wavelength shoulder. The ECD spectra in TFE of 1‐3 show similar spectra with blue‐shifted bands. The VCD spectra in ACN‐d3 of 1 and 2 show a +/?/+/? amide I sign pattern resulting from four uncoupled vibrations in the case of 1 and a sequence of two positive couplets in the case of 2 . A ?/+/+/? amide I VCD pattern was measured for 3 in TFE‐d2. All three peptides give a positive couplet or couplet‐like feature (+/?) in the amide II region. VCD spectroscopy, in agreement with theoretical calculations revealed that low frequency amide I vibrations (at ~1630 cm?1 or below) are indicative of a C7 H‐bonded inverse γ‐turns with Pro in position 2, while γ‐turns encompassing Ala absorb at higher frequency (above 1645 cm?1).

The interaction of natural calf thymus DNA with Cr3+ ions was studied at room temperature by means of vibrational CD (VCD) and infrared absorption (ir) spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Cr3+ ion binding mainly to N7 (G) and to phosphate groups was demonstrated. ψ‐Type VCD spectra resembling electronic CD (ECD) spectra, which appear during ψ‐type DNA condensation, were observed. These spectra are characterized mainly by an anomalous, severalfold increase of VCD intensity. Such anomalous VCD spectra were assigned to DNA condensation with formation of large and dense particles of a size comparable to the wavelength of the probing ir beam and possessing large‐scale helicity. Atomic force microscopy confirmed DNA condensation by Cr3+ ions and the formation of tight DNA particles responsible for the ψ‐type VCD spectra. Upon increasing the Cr3+ ion concentration the shape of the condensates changed from loose flower‐like structures to highly packed dense spheres. No DNA denaturation was seen even at the highest concentration of Cr3+ ions studied. The secondary structure of DNA remained in a B‐form before and after the condensation. VCD and ir as well as AFM proved to be an effective combination for investigating DNA condensation. In addition to the ability of VCD to determine DNA condensation, VCD and ir can in the same experiment provide unambiguous information about the secondary structure of DNA contained in the condensed particles. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Three β‐keto sulfoxides ( 1–3 ) were synthesized in enantiopure form and investigated by means of circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, both in electronic and vibrational range (ECD, VCD), in combination with quantum chemical calculations. For compound 2 , the X‐ray structure was available; thus, the ECD in the solid state was also considered to reveal the differences between the molecular species in both states. Despite the simplicity of all β‐keto sulfoxides under investigation (29 atoms), reproducing even the major spectral VCD features failed for two compounds, making the use of VCD not ideal to assign their absolute configuration in a reliable way. We demonstrated, however, that the use of ECD spectroscopy, both in solution and solid state, can easily, unambiguously, and without any complication simulate all bands by applying the standard protocol for calculations. This study may stimulate the debate on the need of the use of two chiroptical methods simultaneously in the determination of absolute configurations.  相似文献

Chiral α‐methylbenzyl amine is a well known and often used chiral auxiliary, e.g., in the resolution of racemates or asymmetric catalysis. In this work, α‐methylbenzyl amine and its derivatives N,α‐dimethylbenzyl amine, N,N,α‐trimethylbenzyl amine, and bis[α‐methylbenzyl] amine were investigated by vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT). For all compounds, stable low energy conformers were obtained by the DFT calculations and based on those, the theoretical vibrational absorption (VA) and VCD spectra were calculated and compared with experimental spectra. Hence, the absolute configurations and conformational preferences were determined. A qualitative comparison of all the experimental VCD spectra of the investigated chiral molecules supported by the calculated ones is given which clearly shows similarities between the spectra of the different chiral amines. These can be assigned to vibrations of the unchanged chiral center. Chirality 2010. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.  相似文献

Using dihydrogendisulphide (H2S2), dimethyl‐ ((CH3)2S2), and diethyldisulphide ((CH3CH2)2S2)as model molecules, theoretical ECD, VCD, and ROA spectra of nonplanar disulphides were calculated by DFT methods. Most of the calculated electronic and vibrational chiroptical features suffer an equivocal relation between calculatedsigns of ECD, VCD, or ROA and the sense of disulphide nonplanarity as noted earlier for low‐lying ECD bands. This is a consequence of local C2 symmetry of a disulphide group causing most electronic and vibrational transitions to occur as pairs falling to alternative A, B symmetry species, which become degenerate and switch their succession (and consequently the observed chiroptical sign pattern) at the energetically most favorable perpendicular conformation. According to present calculations, the key to resolving this ambiguity may involve the S? S stretching vibrational mode at ~500 cm?1. The relation of signs of the relevant VCD and ROA features to sense of disulphide chirality seems simpler and less ambiguous. The right‐handed arrangement of the S? S group (0 < χS? S < 180°) results in mostly negative VCD signals. Although relation to ROA still suffers some ambiguity, it gets clearer along the series H2S2–(CH3)2S2–(CH3CH2)2S2. ROA is also attractive for the analysis of disulphide‐containing peptides and proteins, because applying it to aqueous solutions is not problematic. Chirality, 2010. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.  相似文献

In the present work, we report a comprehensive vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopic study of a chiral crown ether which features an axial chiral 3.3'‐diphenyl‐1,1'‐binaphthyl group as chiral moiety. By comparing the experimental and calculated VCD spectra, we show that the presumably very flexible crown ether preferably adopts only one ring conformation. Conformational flexibility is observed in the 2,4‐dinitrophenyl‐diazophenol group, which was previously introduced for colorimetric detection of primary amines and amino alcohols (Cho et al., Chirality 2011;23:349–353). The VCD spectra of the host–guest complexes with phenyl glycinol (PG) and phenyl alaninol have been studied as well. Based on the spectra calculated, it is shown that the diastereomeric complexes in general can be differentiated using VCD spectroscopy. Furthermore, the experimental VCD spectra of the complexes of the host molecule with PG support the above finding. Chirality 25:294–300, 2013. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.  相似文献

Structures of model compounds mimicking aromatic amino acid residues in proteins are optimized by density functional theory (DFT), assuming that the main-chain conformation was a random coil. Excitation energies and dipole and rotational strengths for the optimized structures were calculated based on time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT). The electronic circular dichroism (ECD) bands of the models were significantly affected by side-chain conformations. Hydration models of the aromatic residues were also subjected to TD-DFT calculations, and the ECD bands of these models were found to be highly perturbed by the hydration of the main-chain amide groups. In addition to calculating the random-coil conformation, we also performed TD-DFT calculations of the aromatic residue models, assuming that the main-chain conformation was an alpha-helix or beta-strand. As expected, the overall feature of the ECD bands was also perturbed by the main-chain conformations. Moreover, vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra of the hydration models in a random-coil structure were simulated by DFT, which showed that the VCD spectra are more sensitive to the side-chain conformations than the ECD spectra. The present results show that analyses combining ECD and VCD spectroscopy and using DFT calculations can elucidate the main- and side-chain conformations of aromatic residues in proteins.  相似文献

The continuously growing interest in the understanding of peptide folding led to the conformational investigation of methylamides of N‐acetyl‐amino acids as diamide models. Here we report the results of detailed conformational analysis on Ac‐Pro‐NHMe and Ac‐β‐HPro‐NHMe diamides. These compounds were analyzed by experimental and computational methods, the conformational distributions obtained by Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations for isolated and solvated diamide compounds are discussed. The conformational preference of proline‐containing diamide compounds as a function of the ambience was observed by a number of chiroptical spectroscopic techniques, such as vibrational circular dichroism (VCD), electronic circular dichroism (ECD), Raman optical activity (ROA) spectroscopy, and additionally by single crystal X‐ray diffraction analyses. Based on a comparison between Ac‐Pro‐NHMe and Ac‐β‐HPro‐NHMe, one can conclude that due to the greater conformational freedom of the β‐HPro derivative, Ac‐β‐HPro‐NHMe shows different behavior in solid‐ and solution‐phase, as well. Ac‐β‐HPro‐NHMe tends to form cis Ac‐β‐HPro amide conformation in water, dichloromethane, and acetonitrile in contrast to its α‐Pro analog. On the other hand, the crystal structure of the β‐HPro compound cannot be related to any of the conformers obtained in vacuum and solution while the X‐ray structure of Ac‐Pro‐NHMe was identified as tαL–, which is a trans Ac‐Pro amide containing conformer also predominant in polar solvents.

Supramolecular chirality of amyloid fibrils, protein aggregates related to many neurodegenerative diseases, is a remarkable property associated with fibril structure and polymorphism. Since its discovery almost 10 years ago there is still little understanding of this phenomenon, including the cause of the highly enhanced vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) intensity arising from fibril supramolecular chirality. In this study, VCD spectra, enhanced by filament supramolecular chirality, are presented for lysozyme and insulin fibrils above and below pH 2 and after deuterium exchange, above and below pD 2. Supramolecular chirality (observed by VCD) and fibril morphology (documented by atomic force microscopy) are not affected by protein deuteriation. In D2O the fibril VCD sign pattern changes to fewer bands, with implications for the amide I/II origin of enhanced VCD intensity. Separation of amide I and II signals will facilitate calculations of enhanced VCD spectra of amyloid fibrils and enable a better understanding of the origin of the VCD sign pattern.  相似文献

Methyl esters of [5]-ladderanoic acid and [3]-ladderanoic acid were prepared by esterification of the acids isolated from biomass at a wastewater treatment plant. Optical rotations at six different wavelengths (633, 589, 546, 436, 405 and 365 nm) and vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra in the 1800–900 cm−1 region were measured in CDCl3 solvent and compared with quantum chemical (QC) predictions using B3LYP functional and 6-311++G(2d,2p) basis set with polarizing continuum model representing the solvent. QC predictions gave negative optical rotations at all six wavelengths for (R)-methyl [5]-ladderanoate and positive optical rotations for (R)-methyl [3]-ladderanoate, the same signs as previously reported for the corresponding acids. The crystal structure of (−)-methyl [5]-ladderanoate independently confirmed (R) configuration. The QC-predicted VCD spectra using Boltzmann population weighted spectra of individual conformers did not provide satisfactory quantitative agreement with the experimental VCD spectra. An improved quantitative agreement for VCD spectra could be obtained when conformer populations were optimized to maximize the similarity between experimental and predicted VCD spectra, but more improvements in VCD predictions are needed.  相似文献

The stereoselective complexation of tert‐butylcarbamoyl quinine and tert‐butylcarbamoyl quinidine selectors (SOs) with 3,5‐dinitrobenzoyl (DNB) derivatives of D ‐ and L ‐alpha amino acids (DNB‐Ala, DNB‐Val, DNB‐Leu, and DNB‐Ile) as well as achiral DNB‐Gly has been studied by vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy in the spectral region of C H stretching vibrations. All the complexes of SOs and sterically compatible enantiomers of derivatized amino acid selectands (SAs) showed induced circular dichroism (ICD) bands in the region of aromatic C H stretching vibrations, indicating the occurrence of a π–π interaction between the aromatic moieties of SA and SO. To our knowledge, this is the first report in which a π–π interaction was observed by VCD spectroscopy in this spectral region. No ICD bands were disclosed in the spectra of the sterically incompatible SA and SO complexes. The spectral pattern in the region of aliphatic C H stretching vibrations showed interaction‐induced conformational adaptations in sterically favorable SA and SO complexes. No such spectral changes were observed for any of the sterically incompatible complexes. The DNB‐Gly complexes exhibited spectral patterns similar to those observed for sterically favorable pairs of SOs and chiral SAs. Chirality, 2011. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.  相似文献

Vibrational CD (VCD) and ir absorption data are reported for a series of films of Boc-(L -Ala)n-OMe homo-oligopeptides (n = 3–7) in the amide I and A regions. The data evidenced a sharp change between n = 3 and n = 4, which parallels the onset of β-structure formation, and another between n = 5 and n = 6, which parallels the full development of β-structure. This represents the first report of the application of VCD to oligopeptide conformation. The data resembled earlier reported film VCD studies of higher-molecular-weight polypeptides of known β-structure.  相似文献

Resolution of chiral compounds has played an important role in the pharmaceutical field, involving detailed studies of pharmacokinetics, physiological, toxicological, and metabolic activities of enantiomers. Herein, a reliable method by high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with an optical rotation detector was developed to separate isoborneol enantiomers. A cellulose tris(3, 5‐dimethylphenylcarbamate)‐coated chiral stationary phase showed the best separation performance for isoborneol enantiomers in the normal phase among four polysaccharide chiral packings. The effects of alcoholic modifiers and column temperature were studied in detail. Resolution of the isoborneol racemate displayed a downward trend along with an increase in the content of ethanol and column temperature, indicating that less ethanol in the mobile phase and lower temperature were favorable to this process. Moreover, two isoborneol enantiomers were obtained via a semipreparative chiral HPLC technique under optimum conditions, and further characterized by analytical HPLC, and experimental and calculated vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy, respectively. The solution VCD spectrum of the first‐eluted component was consistent with the Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculated pattern based on the SSS configuration, indicating that this enantiomer should be (1S , 2S , 4S )‐(+)‐isoborneol. Briefly, these results have provided reliable information to establish a method for analysis, preparative separation, and absolute configuration of chiral compounds without typical chromophoric groups.  相似文献
