In this paper the conformational analysis of the 2'-5' linked xylotrinucleotide xA2'-5'xA2'-5'xA is reported. The title compound is an analogue of A2'-5'A2'-5'A, which compound was shown to display inhibitive effects on protein synthesis. The complete 1H-NMR assignment of the high field spectral region of the xylose trimer is given. Modes of base-base stacking are extracted from coupling constant data at various temperatures. Circular dichroic (CD) spectra confirm the presence of stacked states at low temperature. Xylonucleosides are known to prefer the N-type sugar conformation. However, in the present trimer the S-type conformer is suggested to partake in stacked conformations. Two types of stacking in the two constituent dimer fragments of the trimer are proposed to rationalize the NMR data: xA(1)N-xA(2)S and xA(2)N-xA(3)S.
本文报道了2'-5'连接的木糖三核苷酸xA2'-5'xA2'-5'xA的构象分析。标题化合物是A2'-5'A2'-5'A的类似物,已表明该化合物对蛋白质合成具有抑制作用。给出了木糖三聚体高场光谱区域的完整1H-NMR归属。从不同温度下的耦合常数数据中提取碱基-碱基堆积模式。圆二色(CD)光谱证实了低温下存在堆积态。已知木糖核苷偏好N型糖构象。然而,在当前的三聚体中,S型构象异构体被认为参与了堆积构象。为合理解释NMR数据,提出了三聚体两个组成二聚体片段中的两种堆积类型:xA(1)N-xA(2)S和xA(2)N-xA(3)S。
