1H NMR Studies of Mouse Ribonucleotide Reductase: The R2 Protein Carboxyl-Terminal Tail, Essential for Subunit Interaction, Is Highly Flexible but becomes Rigid in the Presence of Protein R1
The conformational properties of the Sarmesin analogues [N-MeAib1, Tyr(Me)4]ANGII and [N-MeAib1, Tyr(Me)4, Ile8]ANGII in hexadeutero-dimethysulfoxide were investigated by Nuclear Overhauser Effect (NOE) Enhancement Studies. Cis-trans isomers (ratio 1 : 6) due to restricted rotation of the His-Pro bond were observed. Interresidue interactions between the His Cα proton and the two Pro Cδ protons revealed that the major isomer was the trans.
