Chemical Shift And its Use in Structure Determination It has been know for a long while that: 1. The chemical shift is dependant on the secondary structure, and 2. Homologous proteins have homologous shifts = rc + sec rc random coil shift sec secondary shift, Depends on conformation H-bond(s) Neighboring residue type etc Secondary shifts for a-helix and b-sheet Available proteins Calmodulin//M13 MBP Alpha-lytic protease Cutinase HIV protease BPTI Cyclophyllin Calbindin Cyanivirin-N Calmodulin Dehydrase Human carbonic anhydrase Human thioredoxin red.
