    Notes: Summary We have analyzed a combined use of the two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser effect in the laboratory frame (NOESY) and in the rotating frame (ROESY) to determine interproton distances and correlation time in medium-sized rigid molecules (Davis, 1987). This method can be applied in the intermediate motional regime, 0.2 〈 ωoτc, 〈 5, (τc, correlation time, (ωo resonance frequency). Error limits depend on the motional regime and are smallest near ωoτc=1.14. The method was tested on six geminal proton pairs in the bicyclic octapeptide (S-deoxo-γ-[R]-OH-Ile3 amaninamide, Mw =870) for which at 297 K in DMSO, a correlation time of 1.0 ns, with a standard deviation of 0.12 ns, and an interproton distance of 1.87 Å, with standard deviation of 0.04 Å, are obtained.

    Description / Table of Contents: Poly(L-milchsäure) ist ein biokompatibler, semikristalliner, thermoplastischer Polyester mit ungünstigen mechanischen Eigenschaften. Daher wurde in einem “reactive blending”-Prozeß ein Acrylkautschuk, n-Butylacrylat, mittels einer Suspensionspolymerisation in Wasser auf in einem organischen Lösungsmittel gelöste Poly(L-milchsäure) gepfropft. Die gebildeten Copolymeren konnten isoliert und durch NMR-Spektroskopie und DSC-Messungen charakterisiert werden. Die Untersuchung der mechanischen Eigenschaften ergab keine befriedigenden Ergebnisse, weil die Kautschukphase wahrscheinlich aus viskosen linearen Makromolekülen besteht und daher keine elastischen Eigenschaften besitzt. In weiteren Arbeiten soll der Syntheseweg so modifiziert werden, daß durch den Einbau von Diacrylaten eine zumindest partielle Vernetzung der Kautschukphase erreicht wird.
    Notes: Poly(L-lactic acid) is a biocompatible polyester, semicrystalline, thermoplastic, with low versatility in mechanical properties. To overcome this problem, a reactive blending procedure was performed by grafting an acrylic rubber, n-butyl acrylate, via water suspension polymerization onto poly(L-lactic acid) dissolved in an organic solvent. It was possible to isolate the copolymeric phase formed from the two polymers and characterize it by using NMR and DSC techniques. Mechanical tests on blends gave no satisfactory response, probably because the rubbery phase is composed essentially of viscous linear macromolecules, not able to perform elastic properties. Work is in progress to modify the synthetic pathway to incorporate diacrylates in order to realize a rubbery phase at least partially cross-linked.

    Notes: Synthetic peptides of different size, reproducing the proteolytic processing site of proocytocin, were studied by CD under several experimental conditions in order to ascertain the ability of different solvents to stabilize secondary structural motifs, such as α-helix tracts and β-turns. A combination of deconvolution methods and empirical calculations subtracting the contributions due to unordered structures from the spectra suggests that in solution (a) mainly two distinct families of ordered conformers containing structurally different β-turns are present, (b) the relative stability of the different conformers depends from the nature of the solvent, and (c) in the case of the larger peptides, a population containing an α-helical conformation is also present. From the biological point of view the presence of at least two families of ordered conformers could be in line with current theories assuming that the catalytic effect of the receptor microenvironment may be determinant in shifting the equilibrium toward the active conformation. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: High-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectra at 100 MHz and 220 MHz have been obtained on two samples of poly-L-alanine of differing molecular weights (2500 and 42 500) in the chloroform-trifluoroacetic acid system under various conditions of solvent composition, temperature, and polypeptide concentration. Separate helix and random coil peaks are observed for the α-CH and peptide NH backbone proton resonances, thereby permitting the determination of helix content. This observation of separate peaks demonstrates that the lifetimes of the helix and random coil portions of poly-L-alanine have lower limits of about 10-1 sec. It is suggested that solvent-peptide versus peptide-peptide hydrogen bond competition, coupled with a destabilizing effect of the trifluoroacetic acid on the helix, is responsible for the helix-random coil transformation.

    Notes: The combined use of several nuclear magnetic resonance and restrained molecular dynamics techniques allowed the formulation of a molecular model for the preferred solution conformation of a synthetic peptide reproducing the [1-20] processing domain of the pro-ocytocin-neurophysin precursor. In the model, the conformation of the 20-membered tocin ring, with the two Cys1 and Cys6 residues bridged by a disulphide bond, is very close to that observed for isolated ocytocin in the solid state; in addition, a type II β-turn is postulated for the 7-10 segment of the acyclic tail containing the Lys11-Arg12 processing site, and connecting ocytocin to the neurophysin domain, while the C-terminal 13-20 segment of the molecule is believed to assume a helical structure. This particular structural organization could be important in participating as the favorable conformation for optimal substrate-enzyme active site recognition and processing by specific endoproteases. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: In the present paper we describe the synthesis, purification, single crystal x-ray analysis, and nmr solution characterization, combined with restrained molecular dynamic simulations, of the cyclic hexapeptide cyclo-(L-Pro-L-Phe-β-Ala)2. The peptide was synthesized by classical solution methods and the cyclization of the free hexapeptide was accomplished in good yields in diluted methylene chloride solution using N,N-dicyclohexyl-carbodiimide. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21 from methanol-dichloro-methane solution. The two identical halves of the molecule adopt in the solid state two different conformations. One β-Ala-L-Pro peptide bond is trans, while the second is cis. The molecule is present in dimethylsulfoxide d6 solutions as a mixture of conformational families. One of these corresponds to a C2 symmetrical molecule with both β-Ala-Pro cis peptide bonds, while the second major conformation is very similar to that observed in the solid state. All Pro-Phe segments, both in the solid state and the symmetrical and unsym-metrical solution conformations, display φ,ψ angles close to that of position i + 1 and i + 2 of type II β-turns. In addition, the segments preceeded by a trans β-Ala-Pro peptide bond are characterized by a typical i ← i + 3 hydrogen bond, which is absent in the conformer containing a cis β-Ala-Pro peptide bond. The latter conformation corresponds to a new structural domain we define as the “pseudo type II β-turn.” © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: In the present paper we describe the solution nmr structural analysis and restrained molecular dynamic simulation of the cyclic pentapeptide cyclo-(Pro-Phe-Phe-β-Ala-β-Ala). The conformational analysis carried out in CD3CN and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) solutions by nmr spectroscopy was based on interproton distances derived from rotating frame nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy spectra and homonuclear coupling constants. A restrained molecular dynamic simulation in vacuo was also performed to build refined molecular models. The molecule is present in both solvent systems as two slowly interconverting conformers, characterized by a cis-trans isomerism around the β-Ala5-Pro1 peptide bond. In CD3CN solution, the conformer with a cis peptide bond is quite similar to that observed in the solid state, while the conformer containing all trans peptide bonds is characterized by an intramolecular hydrogen bond stabilizing a C10- and a C13-ring structure. In DMSO solution, the trans isomer is partly similar to that observed in CD3CN solution while the cis isomer is different from that observed in the solid state. The effect of the solvent in stabilizing different conformations was also investigated in DMSO-CD3CN solvent mixtures. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The conformational behavior in solution of a cyclic peptide with sequence cyclo-(Pro1-Pro2-Dab3 (cHexA)ψ[N7HCO]-Leu4ψ[NHCO]-Suc5-Gly6-) has been throughly investigated with the combined use of nmr and molecular dynamic techniques. The compound, which has been modeled to mimic the FK506 macrolide bound to the FK506 binding protein structure, can be considered as a peptidic analogue of the FK506 system.The synthesis was carried out on a phenylacetoamidomethyl resin using an appropriate protocol for the peptide chain elongation. The conformational properties of the cyclic hexapeptide were studied in DMSO and water. The nmr data in DMSO and restrained molecular dynamics simulations show the presence of two contiguous cis peptide bonds involving the -Gly-Pro-Pro- segment. This segment in water exhibits conformational heterogeneity presenting at least two distinct conformational families, characterized the first by cis-cis and the second by a trans-cis Gly-Pro-Pro configuration; the trans-cis isomer was fully characterized. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The conformational behavior of a heterodetic bicyclic decapeptide (BCPLT) in the absence and in the presence of calcium ions has been studied by means of mono and two-dimensional nmr techniques. Free BCPLT possesses a quite compact structure stabilized by intramolecular bonds and turns. In the structure a cluster of carbonyls is located in a cavity that is supposed to be the cation binding site.

    Notes: The proton nmr characterization of bombesin (BBS) and of two peptide fragments corresponding to the (1-6) and (6-14) sequences has been carried out at 500 MHz in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO-d6) using two-dimensional (2D) homo and 1H-13C heterocorrelated techniques. All resonances in the nmr spectra have been assigned and several coupling constants have been measured. The backbone JαCH—NH coupling constants are quite similar and around 7.8-8.2 Hz, pointing to an unfolded structure in DMSO-d6. The possibility of secondary structures in highly viscous mixtures of DMSO-d6-water was investigated. The existence of sequential nuclear Overhauser enhancement (NOE) effects in the C-terminal nonapeptide section may indicate a preferential site for secondary structuring.
