Notes:
The secondary structure of the human growth hormone releasing factor (GRF 1-29) in a solution mixture of 60% aqueous phosphate buffer:40% 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol-d3 has been investigated by two-dimensional 1H-nmr spectroscopy. Sequential resonance assignments and elements of secondary structure were obtained from phase-sensitive correlation spectroscopy, relayed coherence spectroscopy, and nuclear Overhauser spectroscopy experiments. The observation of a large number of α-amide and amide-amide interresidual nuclear Overhauser effect connectivities as well as the existence of 11 slowly exchanging amide protons indicates that the peptide adopts a well-defined secondary structure most likely constituted of a single long helix. This conclusion is consistent with the CD measurements.
