Chemical shift data have been collected on eight proteins that have the same conformation in solution as in their crystal structures. Ring-current shifts have been calculated and subtracted from the experimentally measured shifts, to leave shifts that depend only on local conformation. Overall, the

โฆ Synopsis
An empirical correlation between the peptide ~SN chemical shift, 6~SNi, and the backbone torsion angles t~i , gti_ 1 is reported. By using two-dimensional shielding surfaces A(l~i,/l/i_l) , it is possible in many cases to make reasonably accurate predictions of lSN chemical shifts for a given structure. On average, the rms error between experiment and prediction is about 3.5 ppm. Results for threonine, valine and isoleucine are worse (~4.8 ppm), due presumably to 2~-distribution/7-gauche effects. The rms errors for the other amino acids are ~3 ppm, for a typical maximal chemical shift range of ~15-20 ppm. Thus, there is a significant correlation between lSN chemical shift and secondary structure.
