The conformation of an elastin-mimetic recombinant protein, [(VPGVG)4(VPGKG)]39, is investigated using solid-state NMR spectroscopy. The protein is extensively labeled with 13C and 15N, and two-dimensional 13C-13C and 15N-13C correlation experiments were carried out to resolve and assign the isotropic chemical shifts of the various sites. The Pro 15N, 13Calpha, and 13Cbeta isotropic shifts, and the Gly-3 Calpha isotropic and anisotropic chemical shifts support the predominance of type-II beta-turn structure at the Pro-Gly pair but reject a type-I beta-turn. The Val-1 preceding Pro adopts mostly beta-sheet torsion angles, while the Val-4 chemical shifts are intermediate between those of helix and sheet. The protein exhibits a significant conformational distribution, shown by the broad line widths of the 15N and 13C spectra. The average chemical shifts of the solid protein are similar to the values in solution, suggesting that the low-hydration polypeptide maintains the same conformation as in solution. The ability to measure these conformational restraints by solid-state NMR opens the possibility of determining the detailed structure of this class of fibrous proteins through torsion angles and distances.

Hi guys I need to help to restate this small pragraph? Chemical shift?solid state physics?
The chemical shift The chemical shift is one of the most important observables in nuclear magnetic resonance. It provides valuable information about the chemical environment around a nucleus. In a real spin system, nuclei are surrounded by atomic and molecular electron clouds which interact with the nuclear spin angular moment. The principal influence of the surrounding electrons is the magnetic screening which results when electronic orbitals are perturbed by the applied magnetic field BO. The effect of the magnetic screening (shielding), called nuclear shielding, can enhance or oppose the...
