Figure 2.
The scalar couplings 1J(N,H) can be postulated to have values 1J(N,H)trial that differ from the optimum value |1J(N,H)opt|=98.54 Hz, whereas the chemical shift δH and exchange rate kex of the Hε2 proton at pH 3.2 and 292.5 K are fitted. Significant discrepancies are observed when the scalar coupling is deliberately miss-set to |1J(N,H)trial|−|1J(N,H)opt|=0, 10, 20, or 30 Hz. The gray line with a unit slope is merely to guide the eye. Similar results have been obtained for different sites, pH values, and temperatures.
