✦ Synopsis


Dipolar restoration at the magic angle (DRAMA) has been used to measure the 31P-31P internuclear distance between phosphine-sulfide substituted sidechanins on the fourth and eighth residues of a 12-residue helical peptide. The 7.4 A distance is the same for the peptide lyophilized in bulk or isolated in a cryo- and lyoprotected matrix of poly(ethylene glycol) and sucrose. However, the 31P linewidth for the undiluted peptide is an order of magnitude greater than for the matrix-isolated peptide indicating charge and hydration heterogeneity in the bulk state.
