Fig. 3. Comparison of the and aspartyl isomers of MCoTI-II. a, structure of and aspartic acid residues and sequential NOEs expected to be observed in the -Asp form. b, comparison of the -proton chemical shifts of the two isomers of MCoTI-II. The fact that the differences occur only near residue Asp-5 suggests that isomerization of this residue ( / aspartic acid) is responsible for the differences between the two isolated peptides.
