Dihydrofolate reductase from the deep-sea bacterium Moritella profunda (MpDHFR) has been (13)C/(15)N isotopically labelled and purified. Here, we report the aliphatic (1)H, (13)C and (15)N resonance assignments of MpDHFR in complex with NADP(+) and folate. The spectra of MpDHFR suggest considerably greater conformational heterogeneity than is seen in the closely related DHFR from Escherichia coli.
