13C NMR chemical shifts (ppm, relative to tetramethylsilane) in spectra of D23N-Aβ40 fibrils. For comparison, values are given for random coil peptides, from Wishart et al. (50), adjusted to the tetramethylsilane reference by subtracting 1.7 ppm. The secondary chemical shift, ∂∂, is defined as the difference between the chemical shift for a random coil and that for D23N-Aβ40, i.e., ∂∂=∂D23N - ∂RC. Shifts that follow the trend for β-sheets have deviations greater than 0.5 ppm from random coil values, negative for CO and Cα and positive for Cβ. In general, chemical shift values are accurate to with ±0.1 ppm; for Glu22 and Lys28, some of the peaks were broad and of low intensity, and the values reported are ±0.5 ppm.
