Abstract
500 MHz 1H NMR studies of human epidermal growth factor are described. The backbone resonances of the 1-48 derivative of hEGF have been assigned using two-dimensional techniques. Analysis of the type and magnitude of the observed sequential nuclear Overhauser effects and the NH-αCH spin-spin coupling constants allowed prediction of the secondary structure. Aspects of the tertiary structure are also identified. A pair of antiparallel β-sheets involving residues 18-23 and 28-34 is a dominant feature of the solution structure.
