β¦ Synopsis
A method is described for stereospecifically assigning the a-protons of glycine residues in proteins. The approach involves the stereospecific deuteration and lSN labeling of glycine and subsequent selective incorporation of this residue into the protein. The stereospecific assignments of the glycine c~-protons are obtained from a comparison of a 3D 15N-resolved TOCSY spectrum of the uniformly 15N-labeled protein with a 2D/3D 15N-edited TOCSY spectrum of the protein, containing the stereospecifically deuterated and ~SN-labeled glycine. The approach is demonstrated by stereospecifically assigning the glycine c~-protons of the FK506 binding protein when bound to the immunosuppressant ascomycin.

The precision of a protein structure determined by NMR spectroscopy is strongly influenced by the number of longrange NOE interactions per residue. Aromatic and methylcontaining residues are frequently located in the hydrophobic interior of proteins and yield long-range NOE interactions. Methyl grou
