A wide range of two-dimensional {sup 1}H NMR experiments have been used to completely assign the 500-MHz {sup 1}H NMR spectrum of recombinant Ca{sup 2+}-saturated bovine calbindin D{sub 9k}. In solution, calbindin D{sub 9k} exists as an equilibrium mixture of isoforms with trans (75%) and cis (25%) isomers of the peptide bond at Pro43 which results in two sets of {sup 1}H NMR signals from approximately half of the amino acids. The complete {sup 1}H NMR assignments for the major, trans-pro43 isoform are presented here. By use of an integrated strategy for spin system identification, 62 of the 76 spin systems could be assigned to the appropriate residue type. Sequence-specific assignments were then obtained by the standard method. Secondary structure elements were identified on the basis of networks of sequential and medium-range nuclear Overhauser effects (NOEs), {sup 3}J{sub HN{alpha}} spin coupling constants, and the location of slowly exchanging amide protons. Four helical segments and a short {beta}-sheet between the two calcium binding loops are found. These elements of secondary structure and a few additional long-range NOEs provide the global fold. Good agreement is found between the solution and crystal structures of the minor A form of bovine calbindin D{sub 9k} and between the solution structures of the minor A form of bovine calbindin D{sub 9k} and intact porcine calbindin D{sub 9k}.
