The solution structure and dynamics of apo bovine calbindin D9k have been studied by a wide range of two-dimensional’H nuclear magnetic resonance experiments. Due to the presence of conformational heterogeneity in the wild-type protein, the sequential resonance assignment was carried out on a Pro43-*• Gly mutant. By use of a combination of scalar correlation experiments acquired from H20 solution, 61 of the 76’H spin systems could be assigned to particular aminoacid types. The remaining resonances were assigned by a parallel series of experiments acquired from 2**** H20 solution. These spin system assignments provided a basis for complete sequential resonance assignments from interresidue backbone nuclear Overhauser effects (NOEs). Elements of secondary structure were identified from sequential and medium-range NOEs, backbone spin-spin coupling constants, and slowly exchanging amide protons. Four sections of helix are delineated, together with a short antiparallel/3-sheet interaction between the peptide loops involved in Ca2+ binding. The global fold is provided by combining these elements of secondary structure with a subset of the long-range, interhelix NOEs. Comparison with similar studies on the Ca2+-saturated protein indicates that at this crude level the structures are very similar. However, removal of the Ca2+ does dramatically affect the dynamics of the protein, as judged by amide protonexchange rates and aromatic ring rotation. This is particularly evident in the increased flexibility of the residues in the hydrophobic core.(Calcium ions are involved in the regulationof many aspects of cell metabolism and function (Rasmussen, 1986a, b, 1989). External stimuli lead totransient increases in cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration, these ions acting as a secondary messenger in the stimultion process. In many cases, the Ca2+ signal is translated by regulatory Ca2+-binding proteins. The 10-100-fold increase inCa2+ concentration (from the 10 “7 M level in the resting cell) upon cell stimulation is sufficient to cause the regulatory sites in these proteins to bind calcium ions. It has been proposed that the binding of Ca2+ causes changes in the protein conformation that trigger further cellular re-
