Carbon-13 and nitrogen-15 signals of fully isotope-labeled 15-residue peptide, glycinated mastoparan-X, in a solid state were assigned by two- and three-dimensional NMR experiments under magic-angle spinning conditions. Intra-residue spin connectivities were obtained with multidimensional correlation experiments for C'-C(alpha)-C(beta) and N-C(alpha)-C(beta). Sequence specific assignments were performed with inter-residue C(alpha)-C(alpha) and N-C(alpha)C(beta) correlation experiments. Pulse sequences for these experiments have mixing periods under recoupled zero- and double-quantum (13)C-(13)C and (15)N-(13)C dipolar interactions. These correlation spectra allowed the complete assignments of (13)C and (15)N backbone and (13)C(beta) signals. Chemical shift analysis of the (13)C and (15)N signals based on empirical and quantum chemical databases for proteins indicated that the backbone between residues 3 and 14 forms alpha-helix and residue 2 has extended conformation in the solid state. This structure was compared with the G-protein- and membrane-bound structures of mastoparan-X.
