✦ Synopsis
This work presents two methods for through-bond correlation between sugar and base protons in view of model-independent assignment in unlabeled or slightly enriched nucleic acids. Each method uses a combination of multiple-bond and one-bond heteronuclear J-couplings to the aromatic carbon C6 for pyrimidines ( 3 J H1 ,C6 and 1 J H6,C6 ) or C8 for purines ( 3 J H1 ,C8 and 1 J H8,C8 ). The techniques are demonstrated in the duplex [d(CGCGAATTCGCG)] 2 and the dimeric G-quadruplex [d(GGGTTCAGG)] 2 at natural abundance.

A novel series of hydrogen-bonded solid 1 : 1 acid-base complexes of 15 N-labeled 2,4,6-trimethylpyridine (collidine) with carboxylic acids and their hydrogen bond deuterated analogs were synthesized and studied by 1 H magic angle spinning (MAS) and 15 N cross-polarization NMR with and without MAS.
Whenever hydrogen bonding is involved in molecular recognition, the possibility of a proton transfer from the donor to the acceptor arises. In most cases the pK a of the donor is far enough above the pK a of the conjugate acid of the acceptor for it to be clear that no proton transfer will occur. Ho
