t-Buthyoxycarbonyl-L-alanyl-α-aminiosobutyryl-L-alanyl-α-aminoisobutyryl-α-aminoisobutyric acid methyl ester (t-Boc-L-Ala-Aib-L-Ala-Aib-Aib-OMe), C24H43N5O8, an end-protected pentapeptide with a sequence corresponding to the 6th through the 10th residues in suzukacillin, crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121 with a = 11.671, b = 14.534, c = 17.906 Å and z = 4. The molecule exists as a right-handed 310-helix with a pitch of 6.026 Å. The helix is stabilized by three 4 → 1 hydrogen bonds with the NH groups of Ala(3), Aib(4), and Aib(5) hydrogen bonding to the carbonyl oxygens of t-Boc, Ala(1), and Aib(2), respectively. The helical molecules arrange themselves in a head-to-tail fashion along the a direction in such a way that the NH groups of Ala(1) and Aib(2) hydrogen bond to the carbonyl oxygens of Aib(4) and Aib(5), respectively, of a translationally related molecule. The helical columns thus formed close-pack nearly hexagonally to form the crystal.
