NMR Spectra Yield Data On Protein Structure
High-resolution nuclear-magnetic-resonance spectroscopy may be able to correlate biochemical reactions and electronic structure in protein molecules. K. Wüthrich and Robert Shulman (Bell Labs, Murray Hill) and J. Peisach (Yeshiva University) have examined the NMR spectrum of cyanometmyoglobin from t...

| Summary: | High-resolution nuclear-magnetic-resonance spectroscopy may be able to correlate biochemical reactions and electronic structure in protein molecules. K. Wüthrich and Robert Shulman (Bell Labs, Murray Hill) and J. Peisach (Yeshiva University) have examined the NMR spectrum of cyanometmyoglobin from the sperm whale; this compound, molecular weight 17 816, contains one iron atom. Its biological function is to store oxygen in muscular tissue. |
