The 32 amino acid hormone salmon calcitonin was studied at pH 3.7 and 7.4 by two-dimensional NMR in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles at 310 K. The spectrum was fully assigned, and the secondary structure was obtained from nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (NOESY), 3JHN alpha coupling constants, and slowly exchanging amide data. Three-dimensional structures consistent with NMR data were generated by using distance geometry calculations. A set of 260 interproton distances, derived from NOESY, and hydrogen-bond constraints, obtained from analysis of the amide exchange, were used. From the initial random conformations, 13 distance geometry structures with minimal violations were selected for further refinement with restrained energy minimization. In SDS, at both pHs, the main conformational feature of the hormone is an alpha-helix from Thr6 through Tyr22, thus including the amphipathic 8-22 segment and two residues of the Cys1-Cys7 N-terminal loop. The C-terminal decapeptide forms a loop folded back toward the helix. The biological significance of this conformation is discussed.

D008823 Micelles Particles consisting of aggregates of molecules held loosely together by secondary bonds. The surface of micelles are usually comprised of amphiphatic compounds that are oriented in a way that minimizes the energy of interaction between the micelle and its environment. Liquids that contain large numbers of suspended micelles are referred to as EMULSIONS. Micelle

D002116 Calcitonin A peptide hormone that lowers calcium concentration in the blood. In humans, it is released by thyroid cells and acts to decrease the formation and absorptive activity of osteoclasts. Its role in regulating plasma calcium is much greater in children and in certain diseases than in normal adults.
