Final Report Abstract

The main results of this project can be summarized as follows. (1) Novel insights into the properties of active sites of proteins can be obtained by combining studies of specifically labeled protein side chains with studies of active site model compounds and environments, in particular aprotic polar solvents and polypeptides. (2) Acid-base hydrogen bonds behave in the interior of proteins in a similar way as in aprotic polar solvents. (3) 15N chemical shifts of heterocylic nitrogen as in histidines and in lysine side chains can be used to derive estimates of hydrogen bond geometries. (4) models of the structure of transient reaction intermediates of super-oxide dismutates were developed. (5) 51V-solid state NMR techniques for the investigation of vanadium containing enzymes were developed.
