ABSTRACT:
A method for determining three-dimensional structural information of a protein which involves producing the protein in a form substantially labeled with .sup.13 C of .sup.15 N or both substantially labeled with .sup.15 N and .sup.13 C and partially labeled with .sup.2 H and subjecting the protein to nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic analysis. The isotopically labeled protein is produced by a method which involves producing a substantially labeled microbial protein hydrolysate, subjecting the protein hydrolysate to cation exchange chromatography to produce a partially purified labeled amino acid mixture, subjecting the partially purified labeled amino acid mixture to anion exchange chromatography to produce a purified labeled amino mixture and supplementing the purified labeled amino acid mixture with isotopically labeled cysteine and optionally with isotopically labeled glutamine and asparagine.
