Site/location selection. Residue studies are conducted at two or more sites for each target crop. Trial sites should be selected from typical growing areas for the target crop and should include different environmental conditions that might affect the levels of pesticide residues.

Fig. 5 The crystal structure of the antibody-octapeptide complex, with STD-NMR intensities mapped onto the bound peptide. Residues of the antibody combining site are shown in purple, with selected residues labeled, and the direction of the backbone indicated in ribbon representation. Residues of the peptide are labeled in italics. Heavy atoms of the peptide are shown in gray, while the default color for hydrogen atoms is white. Observed STD-NMR intensities are mapped onto hydrogen atoms of the peptide by color, with red indicating 50-100% enhancement, orange 30-50% enhancement, a.nd yellow < 30% enhancement. Protons that are definitely not enhanced are shown in black those for which no enhancement could be determined (due to interference by other resonances, or not observable in the ID spectrum) remain white.

Peptide libraries made up of millions of randomized peptide sequences have proven useful for the identification of novel ligands that may be of interest for the development of medicinally active compounds.[123,124] However, due to the short length of the individual peptides in linear peptide libraries, they possess considerable conformational flexibility and can populate multiple random-like conformations. This flexibility does not allow one to determine the precise three-dimensional orientation of the side chains, which greatly impedes structure-based design. These facts have greatly accelerated studies into conformationally restricted libraries, where constraints have been introduced to decrease peptide flexibility. However, what is really required is the design of conformationally defined and constrained templates for library display. These templates present the side chains of selected residues in a defined three-dimensional space. Thus, as an alternative to linear peptide libraries, the well-char-...

(B) Structural information from NOEs, chemical shift index (CSI), amide exchange, and scalar coupling, are summarized (adapted from ref. 58). (C) A stereoview of the 20 low-energy structures. Some residues are numbered for orientation. (D) Ribbon representation of the peptide the cysteine residues are in yellow. The N-terminus and C-terminus are marked N and C, respectively.

For gramicidin-S (Scott et al., 1967), where the loop involves the bonds of the polypeptide backbone, closure of the ring was effected at the C —C bond of an arbitrarily selected residue, together with the following potential function to close the gap ... 

Selective Residual Dipolar Couplings by 1H Multiple-Quantum NMR Spectroscopy... 

For elastomers and rubbery-like materials well above the T, the high molecular mobility reduces the dipolar couplings dramatically. The WISE experiment allows one to investigate site-selectively residual dipolar interactions and thus molecular dynamics by editing the corresponding proton slices of the 2D data set. 

Figure 13 NMR and structural data supporting a hydrogen bonding network in cyclotides linking a conserved Glu residue in loop 1 (Glu7) with backbone amides of loop 3. (a) pH titration of selected residues in kalata Bl. Proton chemical shifts for the amide protons of Asnl5 and Thrl6 are plottted as a function of pH. These residues display a marked pH dependence as a result of the protonation of Glu7. (b) The hydrogen bond network is highlighted in the NMR structure of kalata Bl.

Impressive amino-acid conservation was observed for recognition of the same nucleotide in different targets and the selected residues in many cases made good chemical sense (Fig. 10). For example, Asn in position 3 (Asn3) was virtually always selected to recognize adenine in the middle position, whether in the context of GAG, GAA, GAT, or GAC. Gln-1 and Arg-1 were always selected to recognize adenine or... 

This example not only highlights the effect of noncovalent ligand binding on association (and catalysis) but also the role played by covalent phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of selected residues (serine, threonine and tyrosine) in proteins. Phosphorylation/dephosphorylation is an extremely important regulator of the assembly, disassembly and other dynamic properties of many supramolecular structures.

Figure 1 Mechanism of DNA polymerization, (a) The structure of T7 DNA polymerase in a complex with DNA and an incoming nucleotide is shown with a fluorescent label attached to C514. Changes in the fluorescence allow quantification of the nucleotide-induced change in structure and its role in selectivity. Residues 233-411 and 436-454 have been removed to reveal the active site. Shown also are the O-helix and key catalytic residues From PDB 1 T7P (17). (b) The time dependence of the fluorescence change induced by nucleotide binding is shown at three concentrations of dCTP. The inset shows the measurement of the rate of dCTP dissociation from the E.DNAdd-dNTP complex. Analysis of these data defined the role of enzyme conformational changes in nucleotide selectivity.

LC/MS has emeiged as a sensitive and selective residue methodology for the trace organic analysis of crop protection chemicals. This technology is especially applicable to low application rate herbicides such as sulfonylureas because it requires minimal sample processing and clean-up prior to chromatographic and spectroscopic quantitation.
