Chemical shifts of selectively labeled TTR samples
| TTR-labeled amyloid | Carbonyl peak (ppm) | Fraction of total | Ave. random coil (ppm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ile-1-13C native dry | 174.6 ± 0.2 | 0.27 | 174.7 |
| 172.3 ± 0.2 | 0.73 | ||
| Ile-1-13C amyloid dry | 172.5 ± 0.2 | ||
| Ile-1-13C amyloid wet | 172.4 ± 0.2 | ||
| Phe-1-13C native | 172.3 ± 0.2 | 174.1 | |
| Phe-1-13C amyloid dry | 172.3 ± 0.2 | ||
| Phe-1-13C amyloid wet | 172.3 ± 0.2 | ||
| Tyr-1-13C native dry | 173.4 ± 0.2 | 0.73 | 174.2 |
| 171.9 ± 0.2 | 0.27 | ||
| Tyr-1-13C amyloid | 172.8 ± 0.2 |
Ratio of integrated carbonyl peak intensities for wet amyloid samples divided by dry samples was 0.72 for Phe-1-13C and 0.78 for Ile-1-13C labeled samples. Deconvolution of the carbonyl peaks for native Tyr-1-13C and Ile-1-13C samples showed two peaks as listed.
