title: The solution conformation of nicotinamide mononucleotide: a quantitative application of the nuclear Overhauser effect.
abstract: Torsion about the glycosidic linkage in nicotinamide mononucleotide has been investigated by quantitative application of the nuclear Overhauser effect. These measurements show that the syn (chi congruent to 20 degrees) and anti (chi congruent to 200 degrees) conformers of the title compound are isoenergetic, or nearly so, and interconverting rapidly. The syn/anti partition is not measurably affected by either changes in pH or temperature.
