A considerable degree of variability exists in the way that 1H, 13C and 15N chemical shifts are reported and referenced for biomolecules. In this article we explore some of the reasons for this situation and propose guidelines for future chemical shift referencing and for conversion from many common 1H, 13C and 15N chemical shift standards, now used in biomolecular NMR, to those proposed here.

Indane-based molecules are effective scaffolds for different pharmaceutical products, so it is relevant to analyze the relation between structure and functionality in indane derivatives. Here, we have characterized the conformational landscape and molecular structure of 1-aminoindane in the gas phase using chirped-excitation Fourier-transform microwave spectroscopy and computational methods. The rotational spectrum confirmed the presence of two conformers, which were identified based on their rotational constants and 14N nuclear quadrupole coupling tensor elements.

Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) is a DNA-sensing enzyme that is a member of the nucleotidyltransferase (NTase) family and functions as a DNA sensor. The protein is comprised of a catalytic NTase core domain and an unstructured hypervariable N-terminal domain (NTD) that was reported to increase protein activity by providing an additional DNA-binding surface. We report nearly complete H, N, and C backbone chemical-shift assignments of mouse cGAS NTD (residues 5-146), obtained with a set of 3D and 4D solution NMR experiments.

Solution NMR studies of large systems are hampered by rapid signal decay. We hereby introduce ROCSY (relaxation-optimized total correlation spectroscopy), which maximizes transfer efficiency across J-coupling-connected spin networks by minimizing the amount of time magnetization spends in the transverse plane. Hard pulses are substituted into the Clean-CITY TOCSY pulse element first developed by Ernst and co-workers, allowing for longer delays in which magnetization is aligned along the z-axis.

J-domain proteins (JDPs) are essential cochaperones of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70), as they bind and deliver misfolded polypeptides while also stimulating ATPase activity, thereby mediating the refolding process and assisting Hsp70 in maintaining cellular proteostasis. Despite their importance, detailed structural information about JDP‒Hsp70 complexes is still being explored due to various technical challenges. One major challenge is the lack of more detailed structural data on full-length JDPs.

This study investigates carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and chlorine isotope fractionation during the transformation of 3-chloroaniline (3-CA) via direct photolysis, TiO photocatalytic degradation at neutral condition and hydrolysis at pH 3, pH 7 and pH 11. Direct photolysis and ∙OH reaction (UV/HO) showed similar inverse isotope fractionation (ε) for carbon (1.9 ± 0.
