High-resolution 13C-NMR spectra of bovine collagen fibrils in the solid state were recorded by the cross-polarization-magic-angle-spinning (CP-MAS) method and the spectra were analyzed with reference to those of collagen-like polypeptides. Two kinds of model polypeptides were used to obtain reference 13C chemical shifts of major amino acid residues of collagen (Gly, Pro, Ala and Hyp): the 31-helical polypeptides [(Gly)nII, (Pro)nII, (Hyp)n and (Ala.sbd.Gly.sbd.Gly)nII], and the triple-helical polypeptides [(Pro.sbd.Gly.sbd.Pro)n and (Pro.sbd.Ala.sbd.Gly)n]. Examination of the 13C chemical shifts of these polypeptides, together with the previous data, showed that the 13C chemical shifts of individual amino acid residues are the same, within experimental error (.+-. 0.5 ppm), among different polypeptides with different primary sequences, if the conformations are the same. The 13C chemical shifts of Ala residues of the 31-helical (Ala.sbd.Gly.sbd.Gly)n and triple-helical (Pro.sbd.Ala.sbd.Gly)n are significantly displaced, compared with those of the .alpha.-helix, .beta.-sheet and silk I form, and can be utilized as excellent probes to examine conformational features of collagen-like polypeptides. Further, the 13C chemical shifts of Gly and Pro residues in the triple-helical polypeptides are substantially displaced from those found in (Gly)nII and (Pro)nII of the 31-helix, reflecting further conformational change from the 31-helix to the supercoiled triple helix. In particular, the 13C chemical shifts of Gly C.dbd.O carbons of the triple-helical polypeptides are substantially displaced upfield (4.1-5.1 ppm), with respect to those of the 31-helical polypeptides. These displacements are interpreted by that Gly C.dbd.O of the former is not involved in NH.cntdot..cntdot..cntdot.O.dbd.C H-bonds, while this carbon of the latter is linked by these kinds of H-bonds. On the basis of these 13C chemical shifts, as reference data for the collagen-like structure, the 13C-NMR peaks of Gly, Ala, Pro and Hyp residues of collagen fibrils were found which are in good agreement with the values expected from the model polypeptides mentioned above. A plausible conformational change of collagen fibrils during denaturation is also discussed.
