Description

The planarity of the peptide bond is important for the stability and structure formation of proteins. However, substantial distortion of peptide bonds has been reported in several high-resolution structures and computational analyses. To investigate the peptide bond planarity, including hydrogen atoms, we report a 1.2-Å resolution neutron structure of the oxidized form of high-potential iron-sulfur protein. This high-resolution neutron structure shows that the nucleus positions of the amide protons deviate from the peptide plane and shift toward the acceptors. The planarity of the H─N─C═O plane depends strongly on the pyramidalization of the nitrogen atom. Moreover, the orientation of the amide proton of Cys⁷⁵ is different in the reduced and oxidized states, possibly because of the electron storage capacity of the iron-sulfur cluster.
