Abstract: Lanthanide-induced shifts have been measured for 13C nuclei of methionine in thepresence of seven lanthanide cations (La, P1, Nd, Dy, Ho,Er, Tm) in aqueous solution.The simulation for conformation of lanthanide complexes with methionine shows that theligand is coordinated to lanthanide ion through oxygen atoms of carboxyl group and thebend length of Ln-O is 2.7Å. In the complexes,methionine is in extended state,the favor- able conformation of Cο-Cα-Cβ-Cγ-S and Cα-Cβ-Cγ-S is in trans, while that of Cβ-Cγ-S-Cδin gauche. The conformation established for methionine complex by lanthanide-inducedshift method is in agreement with the results of vicinyl proton coupling constants and 13Cparamagnetic relaxation rate determinations.
