摘要
The pK(a) values of eight glutamic acid residues in the homotrimeric coiled coil domain of chicken matrilin-1 have been determined from 2D H(CA)CO NMR spectra recorded as a function of the solution pH. The pK(a) values span a range between 4.0 and 4.7, close to or above those for glutamic acid residues in unstructured polypeptides. These results suggest only small favorable contributions to the stability of the coiled coil from the ionization of its acidic residues. (C) 1999 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
