Abstract
A possible pH-dependent conformational switch was investigated for cyclic ADP-ribose. NMR signals for the exchangeable protons were observed in H2O at low temperature, but there was no direct evidence for the protonation of N-3 at neutral pH that has previously been postulated. MNDO calculations indicated that pH dependent 31P chemical shift changes are attributable to protonation of the phosphate adjacent to the N-1 of adenine, and not due to trans-annular hydrogen bonding with a protonated N-3.
