Abstract
The solution distribution of combinations of the sugar ring puckering domains, C2'endo(S), C3'endo(N), and C4'-C5' rotamers, +sc(g+), ap(t), -sc(g-), in alpha and beta-anomers in ribo- and deoxyribo- pyrimidine nucleic acid components can be determined from vicinal coupling constants (M. Remin, J. Biomol. Str. Dyn. 2, 211 (1984). A general correlation pattern with a conformational constant lambda reflecting an intrinsic physical property of the sugar-side chain ensemble, is developed and expressed in terms of four principles: I) The +sc rotamer contributes to the C3'endo population to a higher extent (1-Yt) than to C2'endo, (1-Yt-Yg-/Xs). II) The ap rotamer contributes to both C2'endo and C3'endo populations to the same extent (Yt). III) The -sc rotamer contributes only to the C2'endo population, (Yg-/Xs). IV) The molar fractions Xs, Yt and Yg- of conformations C2'endo, ap and -sc, respectively, are strongly correlated, lambda = (Yg-/Xs)/Yt approximately 0.5, and therefore Yt is a basic variable parameter which determines all others in the correlation pattern. In alpha-anomers, regardless of the type and conformation of the sugar ring and base, the molar fraction Yt = 0.37 +/- 0.02. This finding means that different alpha-anomers show one correlation pattern free of the influence of the base. In beta-anomers, structure and conformation of the base are important factors which modulate (through Yt) the correlation pattern, conserving its fundamental features. Yt is considerably increased by a syn-oriented pyrimidine base, but decreases when the base is anti. The transition from anti to syn orientation of the base is followed by destabilization of (C2'endo, +sc) in favor of (C3'endo, ap). The principles of conformational correlations rationalize a variety of correlations observed in the past.

Abstract
Inspection of stereochemical models suggests a possible correlation between the proportion (Yg-/Yt) of the g- and t rotamers and the S pucker populations irrespective of the anti-syn conformational composition of the base. Interpretation of the NMR vicinal coupling constants in terms of conformational populations shows a decline of Yg-/Yt with XS approaching zero, consistent with high unfavorability of the Ng- conformational combination in solution, a result supported by a X-ray crystallographic data survey. Hence, the underlying assumption introduced into the present study is that the g- rotamer and the N pucker do not coexist together in solution. Therefore, the limiting value of Yg-/Yt corresponding to the S pucker could be determined for each compound individually. Finally, populations and relative free energies of all conformational combinations of Ng+, Nt, Sg+, St and Sg- (except Ng- which is not important) have been estimated. Results of the present study suggest several interesting regularities concerning the syn-anti effect on populations and energies of the conformational combinations in ribo- and deoxyribo-nucleosides. (a) In the anti-type nucleosides, the Ng+ conformation is about 2 kJ/mol more stable than Nt, but in the syn-type, the Ng+ and Nt have comparable energy. (b) No important changes are observed in the Ng+ population comparing the anti-type and syn-type of ribo- and deoxyribo-nucleosides separately. (c) The Nt is considerable stabilized and simultaneously the Sg+ is strongly destabilized in the syn-type nucleosides relative to the anti-type. (d) Irrespective of the syn-anti composition the St is always more stable (1-2 kJ/mol) than the Sg- conformational combination.

Abstract
The 1H, 13C, 15N NMR spectra of cytidine /Cyd/, ethenocytidine /epsilon Cyd/ and their hydrochlorides /Cyd X HC1/ and /epsilon Cyd X HC1/ have been analysed to compare structural differences observed in solution with those existing in the crystalline state. The effects of ethenobridging and protonation of the hertero-aromatic base on the intramolecular stereochemistry, intermolecular interactions and electronic structure of the whole molecule are discussed on the basis of the NMR studies in DMSO solutions. Particular interest is devoted to the discussion of the conformation of the ribose ring, the presence of the intramolecular C-5'-0...H-6-C hydrogen bond, unambiguous assignment of the site of protonation, the mechanism of the 5C-H deuterium exchange in Cyd X HC1, and the intermolecular interactions in solution.

Abstract
The C(5')-R epimer of 8,5'-cycloadenosine crystallizes in the monoclonic space group P2(1) (Z = 2) with unit cell dimensions a = 5.755 (1), b = 16.895 (1), and c = 5.511 (1) A and beta = 104.16 (1) degree. X-ray intensity data were measured on a diffractometer, and the crystal structure was determined by direct methods. Least-squares refinement converged at R = 0.037 for 1008 reflections. The conformation about the glycosyl bond is anti, as imposed by the 8,5' cyclization, with XCN = 29.8 degrees. The ribose ring adopts the unusual C(1')endo-O(4')exp (o1T) conformation with pseudo-rotation parameters P = 289.0 degrees and tau m = 490 degrees. The six-membered ring formed by the 8,5' linkage is approximately a half-chair with C(4') and O(4'), respectively, above and below a plane defined by the other four atoms. These results are compared with those previously reported for the corresponding S epimer [Haromy, T. P., Raleigh, J., & Sundaralingam, M. (1980) Biochemistry 19, 1718-1722]. The conformations of the sugar rings and the exocyclic groups of both epimers in the solid state are compared to the conformations in solution, as determined by analysis of the systems of proton-proton vicinal coupling constants from the 1H NMR spectra. The foregoing findings are employed to examine the role of the conformational parameters of adenosine and 5'-AMP in reactions catalyzed by the appropriate enzymes.

Abstract
The syn in equilibrium anti equilibrium conformation about the glycosidic bond of purine nucleosides and 5'-nucleotides in different solvent systems has been investigated by means of 1H NMR spectroscopy. Quantitative values for the conformer populations were improved, relative to previous results, by a detailed study of, and a resultant derived correction for, the influence of the sugar exocyclic group conformation on the chemical shifts of the sugar ring protons. This was achieved with the aid of nucleosides and nucleotides fixed in the conformations gauche-trans [derivatives of 8,5'-(R)-cyclo] and trans-gauche [derivatives of 8,5'-(S)-cyclo]. The results of 13C NMR confirmed those obtained by 1H NMR. The measured values of the vicinal coupling constants between H-1' and the C-8 and C-4 carbons were employed to evaluate approximately the glycosidic angles chi of the nucleosides in the conformations syn and anti. A critical examination is made of the applicability of relaxation methods, involving analysis of spin-lattice relaxation time of protons (T1) and the Overhauser effect, to determine the conformation of the base about the glycosidic bond; interpretations are provided for the lack of agreement between these methods and those based on chemical shifts in the present study. The foregoing resuls are also applied to an examination of the effect of the conformation of the base about the glycosidic bond on the enzymatic reactions catalyzed by 5'-nucleotidase and adenosine deaminase.

Abstract
The 270 MHz proton NMR spectra of 2'-deoxy-2'-fluoro-beta-D-arabinofurano-syl-5-iodocytosine as well as the respective 5-bromo and 5-chloro derivatives have been iteratively analyzed using LAOCOON 3. The derived parameters indicate that the fluorine substituent in an arabino configuration results in an approx. 50 : 50 C(3')-endo C(2')-endo conformer mixture. The C(4')--C(5') rotamer populations are 41% gg, 18% tg, and 41% gt. These equilibrium distributions, which are maintained within the series studied, are similar to that of other ara-C derivatives, but quite different from that of 2'-deoxycytidine. The agreement in chemical shift for each of the furanose protons within the series studied suggests a similar syn, anti distribution for each analog.

Abstract
H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been applied to a study of the conformations of a variety of purine and pyrimidine beta-D-arabinofuranosyl nucleosides. The experimental results, together with data collected from the literature, demonstrated the existence of reasonably good correlations between the coupling constants made it possible to define more accurately, than hitherto possible, the conformational states between which equilibria exist in solution. The equilibrium for the arabinonucleosides differs from that previously established for ribonucleosides; in particular, structural modifications and solvent effects may appreciably modify the conformational states between which equilibria exist. Preliminary measurements on some arabinosides in the syn conformation about the glycosidic bond indicated that these do not conform to the foregoing correlations, and will require separate study. A correlation has also been established between the conformation of the arabinose ring and that of the exocyclic 5'-CH2OH group. For both purine and pyrimidine arabinonucleosides, the conformational state 3E of the arabinose ring coexists to some extent with a gauche-gauche conformation of the exocyclic 5'-CH2OH, as in the case of pyrimidine (but not purine) ribonucleosides. Application of the foregoing to some biological problems is described.

Abstract
Proton magnetic resonance studies of 2'-o-methyladenosine in 2H2O have been carried out at variable temperature and p2H. The chemical shifts and H-H coupling constants are discussed in terms of the molecular conformation. Comparison of the data with those of adenosine reveals that 2'-O-methylation has little influence on the conformation. At neutral p2H where the adenine base is not protonated, the molecules favor a 2' endo, gauche-gauche conformation. Protonation of the base at the N(1) position leads to a decrease in the 2' endo, gauche-gauche bias. The data for 2'-O-methyladenosine and adenosine, as well as for several other purine derivatives, reveal the presence of a correlation between the sugar pucker and the C(5')-C(4') conformer distribution which is the inverse of the correlation previously reported for pyrimidine derivatives.

Abstract
Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy was employed to study the solution conformations of the neutral, protonated and dissociated forms of the therapeutically active 9-beta-D-arabinofuranosyladenine (araA). In particular, in strongly basic medium, increasing alkalinity led to pronounced changes in chemical shifts and coupling constants of some pentose protons, due to ionization of the pentose hydroxyls, especially the 2'-OH. The neutral form of araA may be characterized as approx. 25% C(2')endo and approx. 60% gauche-gauche, hence somewhat different from that of the therapeutically active 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine (araC). By contrast, the conformations of the anionic forms of both of these are identical, predominantly (greater than 80%) C(2')endo and gauche-gauche. With the aid of the 3'-O-methyl derivatives of araA and araC, where only the 2'-OH ionizes, and the accompanying conformational changes are similar, it follows that the conformation C(2')endo and gauche-gauche for all the foregoing is constrained to this form via a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond, viz. O(5')H...O(2')(-). The influence of the foregoing hydrogen bond on the chemical shifts of the adenine H(8) in the araA anion points to the existence of the latter in the form anti. A similar effect of the doubly ionized phosphate group on H(8) in 5'-araAMP shows the nucleotide to also prefer the form anti, as previously demonstrated for 5'-AMP. The conformations of the sugar rings of the neutral forms of araA and adenosine in aqueous medium differ appreciably, whereas in the solid state they are very similar. PMR spectroscopy is shown to be an effective method for following sugar hydroxyl dissociation. The extent of ionization of a given hydroxyl is provided by the resulting chemical shifts of neighbouring (geminal and vicinal) protons. When ionization is accompanied by a change in conformation, the process may be followed also by changes in proton-proton vicinal coupling constants.

Abstract
In strongly alkaline aqueous medium, 9-substituted adenines, including adenine nucleosides, are relatively resistant to alkylation of the ring nitrogens and the exocyclic amino group. This fact was utilized to obtain the various possible Omicron'-methyl derivatives of adenosine by dimethyl sulfate treatment of the latter in alkaline medium, followed by separation of the products on a Dowex OH-column. In strongly alkaline aqueous dimethyl sulfoxide, several derivatives additionally methylated on the amino group were obtained, including N6,O2'-dimethyladenosine, a component located recently at the 5' terminus of animal cell and viral mRNAs. The latter was also prepared by diazomethane methylation of N6-methyladenosine in the presence of SnCl2. Alkylation in alkaline medium possesses the advantage that the products are not limited to those involving etherification of cis hydroxyls and is applicable to adenine nucleosides with sugar components other than ribose. The properties of the various O'-methylderivatives, including proton magnetic resonance data, are presented in detail.

Abstract
Various structural analogues of cytosine and uracil nucleosides were tested as potential inducers of the nucleoside catabolizing (cyt) enzymes in Salmonella typhimurium. Some analogues, e.g. 5'-O-alkyl cytidines and uridines, resistant to catabolic enzymes, were as effective as the natural inducers cytidine and uridine; but etherification of one of the cis 2' or 3'hydroxyls fully abolished activity, pointing to a requirement of an intact ribose cis-glycol system for activity. A uridine analogue in the syn conformation, 6-methyluridine, a good substrate for uridine phosphorylase, was inactive as an inducer. The behavior of various other analogues, in relation to their structure, conformation and substrate properties, indicated the absence of any correlation between inducing activity and substrate susceptibility. The overall findings are consistent with conclusions derived from genetic experiments. The active analogues apparently act via similar pathways, and probably affect the same regulatory mechanism(s) as the natural inducers.

Abstract
Mung bean nuclease hydrolyzes synthetic esters of 3'-nucleotides to nucleosides and phosphate esters; esters of 2'-nucleotides, and 2'--> 5' internucleotide linkages, are resistant. Esters of ribonucleotides are cleaved at 100-fold the rate for deoxyribonucleotides, the increased rate being due to presence of the 2'-hydroxyl and not to differences in conformation. Introduction of a 5'-substituent leads to a 3-fold increase in rate. The rates of hydrolysis vary up to 10-fold with the nature of the base, in the order adenine > hypoxanthine > uracil; and up to 6-fold with the nature of the ester radical. This form of cleavage of esters of 3'-nucleotides is also characteristic for nuclease-3'-nucleotidase activities from potato tubers and wheat, suggesting that one type of enzyme is responsible for all these activities.
