The assignment of the hyperfine shifted signals of the reduced cytochrome c' from Rhodopseudomonas palustris has been obtained through saturation transfer experiments with assigned signals of the high-spin oxidized protein and through tailored experiments to reveal proton-proton dipolar connectivities in paramagnetic molecules. The peculiar shift pattern consisting of the 1-, 8-, and 5-methyl signals shifted upfield and the 3-methyl signal downfield, which is shared by all cytochromes c' so far described, has been semiquantitatively related to the orientation of the histidine plane with respect to the iron-heme nitrogen axes. The research is meaningful with respect to the use of paramagnetic NMR as a tool to obtain direct structural information on all high spin iron(II) heme containing systems, including deoxyglobins.
