COSY, TOCSY and NOESY experiments have been used to assign sequentially the 1H 500 MHz NMR spectra of the Hydrophobic Protein of Soybean (HPS). Spin systems identification combined with sequential assignment allowed to identify the proton resonances of this 80 residues protein. Analysis of medium range connectivities showed that its secondary structure involved four helical fragments similarly located as in the structure deduced from X-ray diffraction. This work set the basis for a further fine comparison between the crystal and the solution structures and a dynamical study of HPS in solution. In addition, search of secondary structure similarities showed that the global folding of HPS should be rather similar to that found for non specific Lipid Transfer Proteins (ns-LTP) from vegetal origin. Distributions of the helical fragments along the primary sequences of these two classes of proteins were compared.
