Richard I. Shrager, Jack S. Cohen, Stephen R. Heller, David H. Sachs, and Alan N. Schechter abstract: Mathematical models were developed for the interpretation of nuclear magnetic resonance titration curves of chemical shift vs. pH with emphasis on the case of two interacting titrating groups. The equations were applied by means of computer curvé fitting to data obtained for the imidazole C-2 and C-4 proton resonances of L-histidine, TV-acetyl-L-histidine, L-histidine methyl ester, and several L-histidine dipeptides. Inflections are observed in these titration curves due to the effects of the neighboring titrating amino and car-boxyl groups. The curve-fitting procedure provided accurate values for the ionization constants of the imidazole and the interacting titrating groups, even when the pK values were sufficiently close that the inflections hadmerged to produce an asymmetric curve. Application of these procedures to the titration curves of L-histidyl-L-histidine indicated that the asymmetry noted in the high pH region of one of the curves is due to the effect of an adjacent amino group and not to an interaction between the two imidazole rings.L roton magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been used to determine the pK values of the imidazole rings of individual histidine residues in peptides and proteins (Bradbury and Scheraga, 1966; Roberts et al., 1969; Cohen, 1969, 1971). The values obtained give information about the local environ-ments of these residues, and may be used tostudy the effects of ligands and other perturbants (Meadows et al., 1969; Ru-terjans and Witzel, 1969). In several cases the titration curves of imidazole proton chemical shift as a function of pH have deviated from the theoretical curve describing a simple proton association equilibrium (Ruterjans and Witzel, 1969; Cohen et al., 1970a; King and Bradbury, 1971; Ruterjans and Pongs, 1971). These deviations represent interactions between the imidazole residues and other charged groups within the mole-cule.
