title: Structural studies of alpha-bungarotoxin. 2. 1H NMR assignments via an improved relayed coherence transfer nuclear overhauser enhancement experiment.
abstract: Complete sequence-specific assignments of the 1H NMR spectrum of bungarotoxin were reported in the previous paper [Basus, V.J., Billeter, M., Love, R.A., Stroud, R.M., & Kuntz, I.D. (1988) Biochemistry (first paper of three in this issue)]. The assignment was significantly aided by the use of the homonuclear Hartman-Hahn relayed coherence transfer nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy experiment (HRNOESY) which we present here, as a modification of relayed coherence transfer nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (relayed NOESY) [Wagner, G. (1984) J. Magn. Reson. 57, 497]. As shown here, HRNOESY resolves problems of proton resonance overlap especially in extended chain conformations as found in beta-sheets.
