Popis: A comparative 1H-NMR spectral study of a synthetic decapeptide containing the main immunogenic region of the Torpedo acetylcholine receptor (AChR; WNPADYGGIK, representing the alpha 67-76 fragment of Torpedo AChR) with four analogous peptides (WNP3-D5YGGIK, WNPAA5YGGIK, WNPADYGGA9K, and WNPD4DYGGV9K) has been carried out in dimethyl sulfoxide. One- and two-dimensional nmr experiments [correlated spectroscopy (COSY), relayed COSY, and phase-sensitive nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (NOESY)] were performed to obtain complete assignments of the proton resonances. The presence of strong and multiple short- and long-range NOEs, and especially a strong long-range NOE between the two Asn2-C alpha H and Gly7-C alpha H protons, argues in favor of a rigid folded structure in all five cases. Temperature dependence measurements indicate the existence of three intramolecular interactions involving the Asp3, Gly8, and Lys10 amide protons. Biopolymers
