Synopsis
Myelin basic protein isolated from bovine white matter is known to consist of a mixture of three or more "charge isomers," which can be separated by cation-exchange chromatography. We are using 360-MHz 'H-nmr spectroscopy to establish the chemical and structural differences among them. Preliminary studies by difference spectroscopy between two of the isomers suggest (a) all aromatic residues, and probably their nearest-neighbors, are unchanged; (b) the less cationic isomer lacks one (or two) of its C-terminal Arg residues; and (c) a significant fraction of the two Met residues in the less cationic isomer is present as methionine sulfoxide.
