Abstract:
Some 13C chemical shifts of the CHn groups in the aliphatic side chains of Im-cyt c have been determined for the first time based on the H chemical shifts of their attached protons with the aid of heteronuclear multiple-quantum coherence (HMQC) spectroscopy. Comparison of chemical shifts of these specifically assigned 13C and H resonances from Im-cyt c with those from cyt c indicates that 13C-NMR spectra may provide an opportunity to probe the electronic structure and conformational changes induced by axial ligand substitution.
