We present the results of the first quantum chemical investigations of 1H NMR hyperfine shifts in the blue copper proteins (BCPs): amicyanin, azurin, pseudoazurin, plastocyanin, stellacyanin, and rusticyanin. We find that very large structural models that incorporate extensive hydrogen bond networks, as well as geometry optimization, are required to reproduce the experimental NMR hyperfine shift results, the best theory vs experiment predictions having R2 = 0.94, a slope = 1.01, and a SD = 40.5 ppm (or approximately 4.7% of the overall approximately 860 ppm shift range). We also find interesting correlations between the hyperfine shifts and the bond and ring critical point properties computed using atoms-in-molecules theory, in addition to finding that hyperfine shifts can be well-predicted by using an empirical model, based on the geometry-optimized structures, which in the future should be of use in structure refinement.
我们展示了对蓝铜蛋白(BCP):腈蓝蛋白、天青蛋白、假天青蛋白、质体蓝素、星蓝蛋白和锈蓝蛋白中1H NMR超精细位移的首次量子化学研究结果。我们发现,需要非常大的结构模型,其中包含广泛的氢键网络以及几何优化,才能重现实验性NMR超精细位移结果,理论与实验的最佳预测具有R2 = 0.94、斜率 = 1.01和标准差 = 40.5 ppm(约占总体约860 ppm位移范围的4.7%)。除了发现可以使用基于几何优化结构的经验模型很好地预测超精细位移外,我们还发现超精细位移与使用分子中的原子理论计算的键和环临界点性质之间存在有趣的相关性,这在未来的结构优化中应该会有用处。
