For proton NMR spectrum, what effect does PO4 have and why? Why is this important?
Example, examine the proton NMR spectrum of dpG, dpC, and dpA. How will presence of phosphate (PO4) alter the NMR spectrum? What useful information does this provide?
dpG - deoxyguanosine phosphate dpC - deoxycytidine phosphate dpA - deoxyadenosine phosphate
Outline for the effect of PO4 in the 1H NMR spectrum: The proton couples with 31P nucleus and gives a signal having a multiplicity of 2nI + 1, where n = no. of 31P nuclei, I = its nuclear spin quantum no. = 1/2.
Now, consider all the cases of dpG, dpC and dpA: The corresponding structures are shown below.
In all the three cases, the CH2 protons, which are shown in the bold-manner in the above drawings, will couple(3J) with the proton on the adjacent to give a doublet, in which each peak splits into another doublet by coupling (3J) with phosphorus.
