  • Title: Two-dimensional NMR studies of the antimicrobial peptide NP-5.
    Author: Bach AC, Selsted ME, Pardi A.
    Journal: Biochemistry; 1987 Jul 14; 26(14):4389-97. PubMed ID: 3663594.
    Abstract:
    Nearly complete proton resonance assignment of the rabbit antimicrobial peptide NP-5 has been made from two-dimensional NMR data taken at a single temperature. The assignment procedure involved acquisition of phase-sensitive double-quantum-filtered correlation spectra, relayed coherence-transfer spectra, total correlation (homonuclear Hartmann-Hahn) spectra, double- and triple-quantum spectra, and nuclear Overhauser effect spectra. The combination of these complementary experiments simplified and accelerated resonance assignment of the peptide. Individual assignments were made at 20 degrees C for all amide and C alpha protons in the peptide, and for all nonlabile side-chain protons on 26 of the 33 amino acid residues in NP-5. Analysis of the proton-proton nuclear Overhauser effect connectivities, the slowly exchanging amide protons, and the proton chemical shifts in NP-5 indicates that the peptide has a stable, ordered structure in solution. These data also indicate that residues 19-29 in NP-5 are involved in an antiparallel beta-sheet that has a hairpin conformation.
