The spatial structure of a synthetic peptide, an analogue of the membrane spanning segment B (residues 34-65) of bacterioopsin from Halobacterium halobium, has been refined. Backbone torsion angles were derived from intensities of short-range interproton NOEs. These, together with a complete set of the NOEs integral intensities formed the basis for the three-dimensional structure refinement by the energy minimization with consideration of NOE penalty functions. Analysis indicates the right-handed alpha-helical conformation of segment B extending from Asp-38 to Tyr-64 with a kink of the helical axis (27 degrees) at Pro-50. The most stable region with an average root-mean-square deviation of 0.43 A between the backbone atoms includes residues 42-60 in six energy refined structures. The N-terminal part of segment B (residues 34-37) has no ordered conformation. The inferred structure is in close agreement with the electron cryomicroscopy structure of bacteriorhodopsin, differing from it in conformations of most of the side chains.
