Abstract: | Sarafotoxin-S6b has been synthesized and studied by 1H NMR in 50/50 acetonitrile/water mixture. All spin systems were identified and assigned with the aid of 2D experiments. On the basis of these data, a 3D structure of sarafotoxin is proposed and compared to that of Nle7]endothelin obtained in the same conditions. From this study, it appeared that sarafotoxin-S6b and Nle7]endothelin roughly share the same 3D structure, the main differences being located in the 4–7 loop bearing the sequence variation. |
