<sup>1</sup>H NMR studies on the solution conformation of contulakin-G and analogues
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The conformation of contulakin-G, a bioactive 16 amino acid O-linked glycopeptide (ZSEEGGSNAT*KKPYIL) with the disaccharide β-D-Gal(1[Formula: see text]3)α-D-GalNAc attached to the threonine residue in position 10, has been investigated by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The 1H NMR data for the non-glycosylated peptide and for two glycopeptide analogues, one with the monosaccharide α-D-GalNAc at Thr10 and one with the disaccharide β-D-Gal(1–>3)α-D-GalNAc at Ser7, all of lower bioactivity than contulakin-G, have also been collected. The chemical shifts, NOEs, temperature coefficients of amide protons, and 3JNH,αH-values suggest that all four compounds exist mainly in random coil conformations. Some transient populations of folded conformations are also present in the glycopeptides and turns, probably induced by the sugars, are present in the peptide chain around the site of glycosylation. In the two peptides O-glycosylated at Thr10, the rotation of α-D-GalNAc around the linkage between the sugar and the peptide is restricted. There is evidence for a hydrogen bond between the amide proton of α-D-GalNAc and the peptide chain that could contribute to this torsional rigidity. An intramolecular hydrogen bond between the carbohydrate and the peptide chain does not exist in the peptide O-glycosylated at the Ser7 residue. Key words: conformation, contulakin-G, NMR, O-linked glycopeptide.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
