The C-terminal pentapeptide of peptide T (T5) and a glycosylated analogue (T5GlcNAc) were investigated using 1H NMR spectroscopy to examine the influence of the sugar on the secondary structural characteristics of the peptide. The NMR data confirm the presence of a turn structure amongst an ensemble of predominantly randomly structured species in a solution of 83% TFE/H2O for both peptides. This is in agreement with a previous CD analysis demonstrating the presence of beta-turn. Unlike the CD study, the NMR data do not show a difference in the time-averaged conformation of the glycosylated versus non-glycosylated peptide. These studies suggest that any sugar-peptide interactions which occur in this system are transient in nature, and that they do not greatly influence the local secondary structural characteristics of the peptide. In particular, the turn predisposition already exhibited by the peptide appears to be neither enhanced nor reduced by a neighbouring natural N-glycosylation site. This finding is likely to be of general interest, given the importance of glycosylation as a post-translational modification and that its role in determining protein structure has yet to be characterized.

31P NMR correlation maps of 18O/16O chemical shift isotopic effects for phosphometabolite labeling studies
Abstract Intramolecular correlations among the 18O-labels of metabolic oligophosphates, mapped by J-decoupled 31P NMR 2D chemical shift correlation spectroscopy, impart stringent constraints to the 18O-isotope distributions over the whole oligophosphate moiety. The multiple deduced correlations of isotopic labels enable determination of site-specific fractional isotope enrichments and unravel the isotopologue statistics. This approach ensures accurate determination of 18O-labeling...

Measurement of steady-state 15N-{1H} nuclear Overhauser effects forms a cornerstone of most methods to determine protein backbone dynamics from spin-relaxation data, since it is the most reliable probe of very fast motions on the ps-ns...

13C-nmr spectra of lysozyme obtained at 50.3 MHz using both static and magic-angle-spinning-cross-polarization methods are reported at several water contents. The line widths and consequent resolution in the hydrated material is substantially improved over that in the lyophilized protein. The line narrowing is not...
