摘要:
In this communication, we suggest that transferred residual dipolar couplings (trRDCs) can be employed to restrain the structure of peptide inhibitors transiently binding to beta-amyloid fibrils. The effect is based on the spontaneous alignment of amyloid fibrils with the fibril axis parallel to the magnetic field. This alignment is transferred to the transiently binding peptide inhibitor and is reflected in the size of the trRDCs. We find that the peptide inhibitor adopts a beta-sheet conformation with the backbone N-H and C-H dipolar vectors aligned preferentially parallel and perpendicular, respectively, to the fibril axis.
