Abstract

The structure of the copper complex of melanostatin was investigated by NMR relaxation rate analysis and ESR spectral simulation. A 1:1 complex is formed at any ligand:metal ratio. The assumption that the motional correlation time equals that for the peptide free in solution allowed us to calculate several copper-carbon and copper-proton distances that were used to build up a molecular model of the metal complex. The metal ion is in a distorted tetrahedral arrangement and is coordinated by four nitrogen atoms. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
