Spin–lattice relaxation time and temperature dependence of fluorine-19 nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of cysteine-containing peptide iron(II) complexes

Abstract

The 19F NMR signals of cysteine-containing peptide ligands, such as Z-Cys(1)-Pro-Leu-Cys(2)-Gly-X [Z = PhCH2OCO; X = NH(C6H4F-p), NH(CH2C6H4F-p) or NH(CH2CH2C6H4-Fp)] were isotropically shifted both down- and up-field by co-ordination to FeII in [NEt4]2[Fe(Z-cys-Pro-Leu-cys-Gly-X)2]. The shifted signals show very short spin–lattice relaxation times (T1) in the range 5–55 ms, while the corresponding free peptide ligands give much longer T1 values (1500–3500 ms). The temperature dependence of the 19F NMR spectra indicates that the isotropic shifts are caused by the dipolar mechanism when the groups X are NH(CH2C6H4F-p) and NH(CH2CH2C6H4F-p), while when X = NH(C6H4F-p) and NH(C6H4F-m) both contact and dipolar mechanisms are involved. The observed behaviours are explained by the formation of X NH ⋯ S Cys(2) hydrogen bonds and the presence of π–π interactions between the aromatic group and the sulfur atom of the cysteine residue.
