Phase-sensitive NOESY spectra of nornicotine protein glycation reactions.
(A) Reaction of nornicotine, glucose-d7, and
Aβ12–28. The cross-peaks observed between 2.59 and 2.68
ppm (marked with an arrow) are between the peptide and pyrrolidine resonances
of nornicotine. (B) Reaction of nicotine,
glucose-d7, and Aβ12–28. Critically,
the cross-peaks observed with nornicotine are no longer present, whereas other
internal nuclear Overhauser effects remain visible.
