Abstract

ThelH NMR spectrum of the 65-residue protein hirudin is assigned in a sequential manner by using a combination of two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance techniques to demonstrate through-bond and through-space (<5-A) connectivities. The secondary structure of hirudin is deduced from a qualitative interpretation of the nuclear Overhauser effects involving the backbone NH, CaH, and CβH protons. It is shown that hirudin has two β-sheets and no a-helices.
