title: Solution structure of mitochondrial cytochrome c. I. 1H nuclear magnetic resonance of ferricytochrome c.
abstract: The 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of tuna and horse ferricytochromes c have been investigated and the resonances of all amino acid methyl groups have been assigned to specific absorption lines. The assignment procedure involves principally the comparison of one-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectra from a range of homologous ferricytochromes c and does not require a prior knowledge of the secondary or tertiary protein structure. Of the 49 methyl groups of tuna cytochrome c, the assignment of 33 is made without reference to the X-ray crystal structure. The method should therefore be applicable to other proteins of similar size where X-ray structures are unavailable. The assignments will be used to investigate the structure of cytochrome c in solution.
