Sure... if you have the side chains ! (were not indicated in the example)
It needs other assumptions: true residues, no HETATM, lexicographical
ordering coherent with the PDB conventions...

Hi  Mariusz,

If you have not specified the isotope explicitly, then Gaussian calculated
the NMR properties for N^{14}. In Gaussian 03, you can specify the N^{15} 
isotope in xyz coordinate input by

  N(Iso=15) x y z

Hope this helps,

Tanja
