Two-dimensional nMR study of bleomycin and its zinc(II) complex: reassignment of 13C resonances.
Two-dimensional NMR experiments--one bond 1H-13C correlation spectroscopy and heteronuclear multiple bond correlation spectroscopy, both performed in the reverse detection mode--have been employed to unambiguously assign all of the 13C resonances of the antibiotic bleomycin and its zinc(II) complex. Previous 1H resonance assignments of bleomycin (Chen et al. (1977) Biochemistry 16, 2731-2738) were confirmed on the basis of homonuclear Hartmann-Hahn and homonuclear COSY experiments. The 13C assignments differ substantially from those previously obtained by other investigators (Naganawa et al., (1977) J. Antibiot. 30, 388-396; Dabrowiak et al., (1978) Biochemistry 17, 4090-4096) but are in agreement with those reported by Akkerman et al. (1988) (Magn. Reson. Chem. 26, 793-802). The more recent study employed similar two-dimensional correlation experiments (performed in the direct detection mode) in conjunction with attached proton tests. Their study often required model compound data to identify carbonyls adjacent to aliphatic moieties. Previous 13C NMR studies of the structure, pH titration, and molecular dynamics of bleomycin and its zinc complex have been reinterpreted in terms of the revised assignments.
