Abstract

We report B3LYP DFT calculations on peptide models that consider the effects of cooperative interactions with proximate H-bonds and local geometry at the H-bonding site upon trans-H-bond (13)C-(15)N three-bond scalar J-couplings. The calculations predict that cooperative interactions with other H-bonds within a H-bonding chain can significantly increase the magnitude of these couplings. Such increases are due to a combination of the presence of the neighboring H-bonds and the slight increase in C=O distances expected for peptide H-bonds near the centers of H-bonding chains. The energies of H-bonds inferred from H-bonding distances, alone, could be significantly in error if the effects of neighboring H-bonds are ignored.
