Stereospecific assignment of H5' and H5' protons in the NMR spectra of nucleic acids provides significant improvement in the use of NOE distance and torsion angle constraints for structure determination. With stereospecific assignments, the torsion angles [beta] (P5'-O5'-C5'-C4') and [gamma] (O5'-C5'-C4'-C3') can be determined on the basis of [sup 1]H-[sup 1]H and [sup 31]P-[sup 1]H couplings. In addition, stereospecific assignment allows use of NOE distance constraints for H5' and H5'. We report a novel, independent method for the stereospecific assignment of the H5' (pro-S) and H5' (pro-R) protons which is based only on the sign of the carbon-proton two-bond scalar couplings and will not be greatly limited by line width. The sign of [sup 2]J[sub CH] can also be used to determine torsion angle [gamma] and the sugar conformation. Determination of the sign of the two-bond carbon-proton couplings provides a useful new method for the structure determination of RNA molecules. The ribose sugar conformation and torsion angle [gamma] (O5'-C5'-C4'-C3') can be specified. Furthermore, H5' and H5' protons can be stereospecifically assigned, allowing their use in NOE distance constraints and in determining [beta] (P5'-O5'-C5'-C4'). The correlation we have reported between the sign of [sup 2]J[sub CH] and RNA structure will bemore » particularly useful in the study of large RNAs and RNA-protein complexes. 21 refs., 1 fig., 1 tab.« less
