Abstract

The peaks in the proton NMR spectrum of lysine-vasopressin in aqueous solution at pH 3-5 were assigned to particular amino-acid residues by the use of the results of dilution studies and NH-CαH and CαH-CβH decoupling experiments. The conformation of lysine-vasopressin in water differs from its conformation in dimethylsulfoxide.
