The 1H, 13C, 15and N NMR spectra of neutral and protonated forms of the nucleosides 1-methyladenosine (m1A), 7-methylguanosine (m7G) and ethenoadenosine (EA), as a model compound, have been analyzed in order to assign the site of protonation in m1A and m7G. Protonation of these nucleosides occurs in the pyrimidine ring of m1A and EA and in the imidazole ring of m7G, with the charge being distributed rather than localized. Structural differences for both mA and mG were observed in solution and compared with those existing in the crystal state of monomers as well as in tRNA where these nucleosides occur quite often. The protonated nucleoside structures in solution compared favorably in sugar pucker and glycosidic bond conformations with x-ray crystallographic data. Methyl group carbon chemical shifts of the protonated mononucleosides corresponded to those of the methyls of the respective nucleosides in native tRNA structures. Therefore, the tRNA methyl group carbon chemical shifts are indicative of fully protonated nucleosides in the native, three dimensional structure of the nucleic acid.
