Karplus equation

Karplus equation

The Karplus equation, named after Martin Karplus, describes the correlation between 3J-coupling constants and dihedral torsion angles in nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy::J(phi) = A cos^2 phi + B cos,phi + C

where "J" is the 3"J" coupling constant, phi is the dihedral angle, and "A", "B", and "C" are empirically-derived parameters whose values depend on the atoms and substituents involved. [cite journal | author = M. Karplus | title = Contact Electron-Spin Coupling of Nuclear Magnetic Moments | year = 1959 | journal = J. Chem. Phys. | volume = 30 | issue = 1 | pages = 11–15 | doi = 10.1063/1.1729860] The relationship may be expressed in an a variety of equivalent ways e.g. involving cos 2 φ rather than cos2φ —these lead to different numerical values of "A", "B", and "C" but do not change the nature of the relationship.

The relationship is used for 3"J"H,H coupling constants i.e. "J"-couplings between two 1H nuclei through three bonds (such hydrogens bonded to neighbouring atoms are termed vicinal). The magnitude of these couplings are generally smallest when the torsion angle is close to 90° and largest at angles of 0 and 180°.

This relationship between local geometry and coupling constant is of great value throughout nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and is particularly valuable for determining back bone torsion angles in protein NMR studies.
