Structural Sequencing of Oligopeptides Aided by 1H Iterative Full-Spin Analysis
2017
This report describes an approach using 1H NMR iterative full-spin analysis (HiFSA) to extract definitive structural information on unknown peptides from 1D 1H NMR data. By comparing the experimental data and HiFSA fingerprint of a known analogue, it is possible to isolate the characteristic 1H subspectrum of the different amino acids and, thus, elucidate the structure of the peptide. To illustrate this methodology, a comprehensive analysis of five new anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis peptides (2–6), all analogues of ecumicin (1), was carried out. The method was validated by demonstrating congruence of the HiFSA-based structures with all available data, including MS and 2D NMR. The highly reproducible HiFSA fingerprints of the new ∼1600 amu peptides were generated in this process. Besides oligo-peptides, the HiFSA sequencing approach could be extended to all oligomeric compounds consisting of chains of monomers lacking H–H spin–spin coupling across the moieties. HiFSA sequencing is capable of differentiati...
