Abstract
The peptide Gly-Arg-Ala-Ser-Asp-Tyr-Lys-Ser, derived from myelin basic protein (MBP), is part of an epitope to monoclonal antibodies to human MBP. Its conformation was studied in aqueous solution by high-resolution 1- and 2-dimensional 1H and 13C NMR. Two-dimensional correlated spectroscopy, pH titrations and 1-dimensional spin-decoupling techniques were employed to assign the spectra observed from both nuclei. Amide proton temperature coefficients, coupling constants, 13C spin-lattice relaxation times and nuclear-Overhauser-effect data provide evidence that the solution conformations of the octapeptide include a type-II-.beta.-turn with a hydrogen bond between the CO group of Arg2 and the NH group of Asp5. The reuslts are discussed in view of a possible conformation of the antibody receptor site.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
