The sequentialand conformational analyses of Bombyx mori silkfibroin have been performed by 13C NMR spectroscopy. Sixteen peaks were observed in the carbonyl region of the silkfibroin spectrum. These peaks were classified into the carbonylcarbons of five kinds of amino acid residues from a comparison of the spectraamong [1-13C] Ala-labeled,[l-13C] Gly-labeled, and unenriched silk fibroins. The observation of satellite peaks due to the 13C-15N direct spin coupling in the carbonyl region of [15N] Gly-labeled fibroin indicated the presence of the-X-Gly-sequence, where X= Ala or Ser residue. A further detailed assignment was performed from a comparison of the silkfibroin spectrum with that of the crystalline fraction, ie, the precipitated fraction, after chymotrypsin hydrolysis of the fibroin. Most of the peaks were assigned to the primary sequence (Table I in the text). The dispersions of the chemical shifts due to sequence were as large as 0.7 ppm for the carbonyl carbons of Ala and Gly residues. In addition, the internal rotation angles,, around the NC “bonds of the Ala and Ser residues were determined from the long-range coupling constant 3JC/-nc>-h in the Gly carbonyl resonances assigned to the-Gly-Ala-or-Gly-Ser-sequences in the aqueous solution. The use of [l-13C] Gly-labeled silk fibroin and careful NMR observation made it possible to determine the coupling constant directlywith an experimental error of ca. 0.1 Hz for silk protein. After correcting 3JC'-n-ca-H for the doublet spacings in the case of overlapping components, thevalues were in fair agreement with the corresponding coupling values for Ac-Ala-NDMe and Ac-Ser-NDMe in deuterium oxide. These facts lead to the conclusion that the flexibility of the main chain of random coil fibroin originates essentially from the possibilities of rotation about the NC “and C “-C'single bonds adjacent to the-carbons in aqueous solution.
