被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0(Biochemistry & Molecular Biology)In structural biology, peptide bonds, fundamental linkages between hundreds of amino acids, of which a protein molecule is composed, have been commonly treated as a plane structure just as Linus Pauling et al. proposed. In this paper, a site-specific peptide bond relaxation mechanism by deuterons whose localization has been suggested by neutron crystallography is proposed. A comprehensive study using X-ray and neutron diffraction and N chemical shifts of individual amide nitrogen atoms within the same peptide bond strongly suggests the relaxation of the electronic resonance structure because of site-specific modulation by protons/deuterons localized on the electron orbital of the carbonyl oxygen.
