RESUMO

13C T1's and NOE's have been measured for all protonated carbons of 2'-deoxy-D-ribose (2'-d-ribose), 2'-deoxyadenosine-5'-monophosphate (5'-dAMP), thymidine-3'-monophosphate (3'-TMP) and thymidine-5'-monophosphate (5'-TMP) in D2O solutions. In all of the deoxy sugars examined, NT1 values for C-2' are significantly larger than the values for the remaining carbons. This result is interpreted in terms of rapid puckering motion of C-2'. By contrast, NT1 values measured in ribose are found to be equal, within experimental error. The results are compared with analogous data obtained for the five membered pyrrolidine ring of proline and with results for DNA itself.
