Dependence of the L-alanyl-L-alanine conformation on molecular charge determined from ab initio computations and NMR spectra
Article Abstract:
The chemical shifts and indirect spin-spin coupling constants of the L-alanyl-L-alanine (AA) molecule cation and zwitterion are measured and compared to values obtained by density functional computations for various conformers of the dipeptide. The NMR parameters are calculated with a limited accuracy, but the pH dependence of the chemical shifts for the dipeptide as well as for the alanine monomer is explained on the basis of the theory.

Dynamics of cellulose-water interfaces: NMR spin-lattice relaxation time calculated from atomistic computer simulations
Article Abstract:
Molecular dynamics simulations of cellulose are compared to spin-lattice relaxation times ([T.sub.1]) obtained from solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (CP/MAS [super 13]C NMR) spectroscopy. The [T.sub.1] values for C4 atoms in surface chains at cellulose-water interfaces have agreed well with the experimental data, indicating that the force field has reproduced relevant surface dynamics at a sufficiently high level.
