Abstract
Phosphorus nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the Ha-ras oncogene product p21 and its nucleotide complexes have been obtained. It is shown that the 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of a number of nucleotide-enzyme complexes show some common features. In particular, the chemical shift values of the β-phosphorus resonance of enzyme-bound NTP and NDP (N=A,G) of hydrolases exhibit a downfield shift virtually identical for myosin, elongation factor Tu, and the Ha-ras oncogene product p21. This suggests that the stereochemistry around the β-phosphorus might be similar in these compounds.
