Abstract
The solution studies aimed to determine the conformations of a series of DMSO solubilised gastrin peptides, G-4, [ß-Ala ¹] G-5 and G-17, so as to establish how the configurations of the biologically relevant sequence were related to each other, and to resolve whether they adopted preferred and conserved conformations in solution. Interproton distance restraints were calculated from measured NOe crosspeak intensities for each peptide.
