Solid–state NMR measurements have been carried out on frozen solutions of the complex of a 24–residue peptide derived from the third variable (V3) loop of the HIV–1 envelope glycoprotein gp120 bound to the Fab fragment of an anti–gp120 antibody. The measurements place strong constraints on the conformation of the conserved central GPGR motif of the V3 loop in the antibody–bound state. In combination with earlier crystal structures of V3 peptide–antibody complexes and existing data on the cross–reactivity of the antibodies, the solid–state NMR measurements suggest that the Gly–Pro–Gly–Arg (GPGR) motif adopts an antibody–dependent conformation in the bound state and may be conformationally heterogeneous in unbound, full–length gp120. These measurements are the first application of solid–state NMR methods in a structural study of a peptide–protein complex.
