The Sodium Ions Inside a Lipophilic G-Quadruplex Channel as Probed by Solid-State <sup>23</sup>Na NMR
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We report solid-state 23Na NMR and X-ray crystallographic results for a self-assembled G-quadruplex channel formed by a guanine nucleoside, 5'-tert-butyl-dimethylsilyl-2',3'-O-isopropylidene guanosine (G 1). The study provides an unambiguous 23Na NMR identification for the Na+ ions inside a lipophilic G-quadruplex channel. The crystalline nature of the sample yields a remarkably high resolution in the 23Na multiple-quantum magic-angle spinning (MQMAS) spectrum, making it possible to extract very accurate 23Na NMR parameters for each of the three crystallographically distinct Na sites. The observation of a single Na+ ion from a 9-kDa system demonstrates the potential of solid-state 23Na NMR as a complementary technique to X-ray for detecting Na+ ions in biological structures.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
