Abstract

The 15N NMR spectrum of adenine in aqueous solution has been modeled using high-level combined density functional theory/molecular mechanics techniques coupled to a dynamical averaging scheme. The explicit consideration of the three lowest-energy tautomers of adenine—H9, H7 and H3—allows for a well-founded comparison to experimental data. Based on a very good agreement between the predicted and measured 15N NMR spectrum of adenine, we have estimated the populations of the H9 and H7 tautomers to be around 83 and 17%, respectively—in good agreement with experimental data—and thus concluded that the H3 tautomer is likely not to be formed in aqueous solution. In addition to the 15N NMR spectrum we have also predicted the 13C NMR spectrum and 2J(15N–H) indirect spin–spin coupling constants. Finally we have calculated and rationalized the general shape of the low-resolution UV absorption spectrum of adenine in water.
