    Abstract:
    Three nitroxide spin-labeled monoderivatives of bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor were prepared with the amino-specific reagent succinimidyl 1-oxy-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3-pyrroline-3-carboxylate. The monoderivatives were purified by ion-exchange and affinity chromatography. Thin-layer maps of tryptic peptides of the monoderivatives showed that the spin-label was incorporated at either the alpha-amino group, Lys-15, or Lys-26. Two-dimensional J-correlated 1H NMR spectra of the monoderivatives were recorded. Spectra were also recorded after reduction by ascorbic acid of the nitroxide label to hydroxylamine. With the nitroxide label present, significant line-broadening effects on many of the cross peaks in the spectra were observed. The extent of line broadening for the C alpha H-NH cross peaks was qualitatively correlated with the distance between the labeled amino group and the average C alpha H-NH position in the crystal structure. The spin-label affects cross peaks of protons within approximately 15 A. This study suggests that it is feasible to accumulate sufficient intramolecular distances in order to determine protein solution structures with the aid of distance geometry algorithms.
