Nuclear Overhauser effects as probes of peptide structure. A diagnostic for left-handed helical conformations.

abstract：:Metallothionein (MT) is believed to be a sensitive and effective "biomarker" for monitoring metal contamination in fish. Comparison of amino acid sequences between flounder MT and trout MT revealed that there is a conserved region at their N-terminals. Using oligonucleotides derived from this conserved region, reverse...
