Solution structures of the rabbit neutrophil defensin NP-5 have been determined by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) spectroscopy and distance geometry techniques. This 33 amino acid peptide is part of the oxygen-independent mammalian defense system against microbial infection. The structures were generated from 107 n.m.r. derived inter-residue proton-proton distance constraints. A distance geometry algorithm was then used to determine the range of structures consistent with these distance constraints. These distance geometry calculations employed an improved algorithm that allowed the chirality constraints to be relaxed on prochiral centers when it was not possible to make stereo-specific assignments of protons on these centers. This procedure gave superior results compared with standard distance geometry methods and also produced structures that were more consistent with the original n.m.r. data. Analysis of the NP-5 structures shows that the overall folding of the peptide backbone is well defined by the n.m.r. distance information but that the side-chain group conformations are generally less well defined.
