The deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) family of imino sugars are glucose analogues with an NH group replacing the oxygen atom in the pyranose ring. They are powerful inhibitors of glycosidases and ceramide glucosyltransferases. The conformation of N-benzyl-DNJ, isolated in the gas phase, is studied using a combination of resonant two-photon ionization (R2PI), UV/UV hole-burn, and IR ion-dip spectroscopies in conjunction with electronic structure theory calculations. Three distinct conformers, one major and two minor, are present and all three are assigned to structures in which the exocyclic hydroxymethyl group is axial to the piperidine ring (gauche- to the ring nitrogen). This contrasts with the preferred equatorial (gauche+) orientation observed for simple glucosides and may well contribute to the stronger binding of some enzymes to DNJ-based inhibitors compared to their natural glucoside substrates.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
