RT Journal Article T1 A geometrical parametrization of C1′-C5′ RNA ribose chemical shifts calculated by density functional theory A1 Suardíaz Delrío, Reynier A1 Sahakyan, Aleksandr A1 Vendruscolo, Michele AB It has been recently shown that NMR chemical shifts can be used to determine the structures of proteins. In order to begin to extend this type of approach to nucleic acids, we present an equation that relates the structural parameters and the 13C chemical shifts of the ribose group. The parameters in the equation were determined by maximizing the agreement between the DFT-derived chemical shifts and those predicted through the equation for a database of ribose structures. Our results indicate that this type of approach represents a promising way of establishing quantitative and computationally efficient analytical relationships between chemical shifts and structural parameters in nucleic acids PB American Institute of Physics SN 0021-9606 YR 2013 FD 2013 LK https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/92512 UL https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/92512 LA eng NO Reynier Suardíaz, Aleksandr B.
