    Notes: Terminally blocked, isotactic homopeptides from the sterically demanding α-methylvaline of general formula Y-[L-(αMe)Val]n-OtBu (Y = Z, pBrBz, Ac; n = 2-8) have been prepared step-by-step in solution and fully characterized. The conformations preferred in solution (β-turn and right-handed 310-helix) have been assessed by FT-IR, 1H NMR and CD spectroscopy. The molecular and crystal structures of the Z-protected trimer, hexamer, heptamer and octamer have been determined by X-ray diffraction. In the crystal state, while the trimer is folded in a type III β-turn conformation, the longest homopeptides form well-developed, regular, right-handed 310-helices. The screw sense in the helix of the pBrBz-blocked octamer has been confirmed to be right-handed by solid-state and solution CD spectroscopy. The possible exploitation of these peptide helices as rigid and precise molecular rulers is discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Geometrie und Konformation des α-Aminoisobutyryl-Restes in einfachen Derivaten und Dipeptiden. Vier neue Röntgen-Struktur-Analysen und eine statistische Analyse mit bekannten KristalldatenDie Resultate der Röntgen-Strukturanalysen von zwei α-Aminoisobuttersäure(Aib)-Derivaten, N-Acetyl-α-aminoisobuttersäure-methylester (Ac-Aib-OMe, 1) und N-(Benzyloxycarbonyl)-α-aminoisobuttersäure-benzylester (Z-Aib-OBzl, 2) sowie von zwei terminal blockierten Aib enthaltenden Dipeptiden, N-Acetyl-L-alanyl-α-aminoisobuttersäure-methylester (Ac-L-Ala-Aib-OMe, 3) und N-(Benzyloxycarbonyl)-α-aminoisobutyryl-L-alanin-tert-butylester (Z-Aib-L-Ala-OtBu 4), werden beschrieben. In der asymmetrischen Zelle aller vier Verbindungen befinden sich zwei unabhängige Moleküle. In allen Fällen außer einem (Molekül A von 3) ist der Aib-Rest gefaltet, die Torsionswinkel Θ, ψ (oder Θ, ψτ) fallen in den Bereich der Konformationsenergiekarte, wo α- und 310-Helices liegen. Eine vergleichende statistische Analyse der Bindungslängen, Bindungswinkel und Torsionswinkel aus Kristallstrukturen von 20 Aib-Derivaten und 11 Aib enthaltenden linearen Dipeptiden wurde durchgeführt. Diese liefert genaue Information über die Geometrie und Konformation des Aib-Restes ohne den Einfluß der Restriktionen durch intramolekulare Wasserstoffbrücken, denen längere gefaltete oder helikale Peptide ausgesetzt sind.
    Notes: The results of X-ray diffraction analyses on two α-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib) derivatives, methyl α-(acetylamino)isobutanoate (Ac-Aib-OMe, 1) and benzyl α-[(benzyloxycarbonyl)amino]isobutanoate (Z-Aib-OBzl, 2), and two terminally blocked, Aib-containing dipeptides, methyl α-[(acetyl-L-alanyl)amino]isobutanoate (Ac-L-Ala-Aib-OMe, 3) and tert-butyl α-{[(benzyloxycarbonyl)amino]isobutanoyl}-L-alaninate (Z-Aib-L-Ala-OtBu, 4) are described. In the asymmetric unit of all four compounds two independent molecules were found. In all cases but one (molecule A of 3) the Aib residue is folded, the sets of Φ, ψ (or Φ, ψT) torsion angles falling in the region of the conformational energy map where both α- and 310-helices are found. A correlating statistical analysis of bond lengths, bond angles, and torsion angles from available crystal structures of 20 Aib derivatives and 11 Aib-containing linear dipeptides was also performed to obtain precise information on the geometry and conformation of the Aib residue without the influence of the constraints imposed by the intramolecular hydrogen bonds characterizing higher-order folded and helical peptides.

    Description / Table of Contents: Molekül- und Kristallstrukturen zweier terminal geschützter Tripeptide mit der Sequenz 3-5 der Antiamoebin-Peptaibol-AntibiotikaDie Molekül- und Kristallstrukturen der terminal geschützten Tripeptide α-[(Acetyl-α-aminoisobutanoyl-α-aminoisobutanoyl)-amino]iso-buttersäure-methylester-trihydrat [Ac-(Aib)3-OMe ⋅ 3 H2O, (1)] und α-[(Acetyl-α-aminoisobutanoyl-α-aminoisobutanoyl)amino]-(R)-sec-buttersäure-methylester-monohydrat [Ac-(Aib)2-(R)-Iva-OMe ⋅ H2O, (2)] mit den Sequenzen 3-5 der Antiamoebin-Peptaibol-Antibiotika wurden mittels Röntgen-Diffraktion bestimmt. Während das Peptid 1 in der üblichen β-Turn-Konformation vom Typ III (III′) gefaltet ist, bildet 2 einen für eine Aib-Aib-Sequenz ungewöhnlichen β-Turn vom Typ II. Laut Berechnung ist die Energie letzterer Struktur für ein isoliertes Molekül Ac-(Aib)2-(R)-Iva-OMe wesentlich höher (ΔE 〉 10 kcal/mol) als diejenige der energetisch günstigsten Konformation.
    Notes: The molecular and crystal structures of the terminally blocked tripeptides methyl α-[(acetyl-α-aminoisobutanoyl-α-aminoisobutanoyl)amino]isobutanoate trihydrate [Ac-(Aib)3-OMe ⋅ 3 H2O, (1)] and methyl α-[(acetyl-α-aminoisobutanoyl-α-aminoisobutanoyl)amino]-(R)-sec-butanoate monohydrate [Ac-(Aib)2-(R)-Iva-OMe ⋅ H2O, (2)], representing the 3-5 sequence of the peptaibol antibiotics antiamoebins, were determined by X-ray diffraction. While peptide 1 is folded in the common type-III (III′) β-bend conformation, peptide 2 forms a type-II β-bend, an unusual observation for an -Aib-Aib- sequence. A conformational energy computation analysis showed that the energy of this latter structure for an isolated Ac-(Aib)2-(R)-Iva-OMe molecule is significantly higher (ΔE 〉 10 kcal/mol) than that of the lowest-energy conformation.

    Notes: A series of N- and C-protected L-α-aminobutyric acid homo-oligopeptides from dipeptide through heptapeptide was synthesized by the dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and acyl azide coupling methods. The monodisperse peptides were characterized and found to be chemically and optically pure. By means of infrared absorption and circular dichroism in the vacuum ultraviolet (150 nm) the occurrence of the intermolecular β-conformation in the higher oligopeptides in the solid state was ascertained. In solvents of low polarity at high dilution the amount of intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded folded structure formation was established as a function of peptide chain length. Unordered and intermolecular β-structures were found in alcohols and in water/2,2,2-trifluoroethanol mixtures. The results obtained are compared with those already published of other homologous peptide series derived from L-α-amino acid residues with linear hydrocarbon side chains, namely alanine, norvaline, and norleucine. Analogies and differences with the series from β- and γ-branched residues are also discussed.

    Notes: A series of N- and C-protected, monodispersed homo-oligopeptides (to the dodecamer level) from the small-ring alicyclic Cα,α-dialkylated glycine 1-aminocyclobutane-1-carboxylic acid (Ac4c) and two Ala/Ac4c tripeptides were synthesized by solution methods and fully characterized. The conformational preferences of all the model peptides were determined in deuterochloroform solution by FT-IR absorption and 1H-NMR. The molecular structures of the amino acid derivatives Z-Ac4c-OH and Z2-Ac4c-OH, the tripeptides Z-(Ac4c)3-OtBu, Z-Ac4c-(L-Ala)2-OMe and Z-L-Ala-Ac4c-L-Ala-OMe, and the tetrapeptide Z-(Ac4c)4-OtBu were determined in the crystal state by X-ray diffraction. The average geometry of the cyclobutyl moiety of the Ac4c residue was assessed and the τ(N-Cα-C′) bond angle was found to be significantly expanded from the regular tetrahedral value. The conformational data are strongly in favour of the conclusion that the Ac4c residue is an effective β-turn and helix former. A comparison with the structural propensities of α-aminoisobutyric acid, the prototype of Cα,α-dialkylated glycines, and the other extensively investigated members of the family of 1-aminocycloalkane-1-carboxylic acids (Acnc, with n=3, 5-8) is made and the implications for the use of the Ac4c residue in conformationally constrained peptide analogues are briefly examined. © 1997 European Peptide Society and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd

    Notes: A series of N- and C-protected, monodispersed homo-oligopeptides (to the pentamer level) from the cycloaliphatic Cα,α,-dialkylated glycine 1-aminocyclononane-1-carboxylic acid (Ac9c) and two Ala/Ac9c tripeptides have been synthesized by solution methods and fully characterized. The conformational preferences of all the model peptides were determined in deuterochloroform solution by FT-IR absorption and 1H-NMR. The molecular structures of the amino acid derivatives mClAc-Ac9c-OH and Z-Ac9c-OtBu, the dipeptide pBrBz-(Ac9c)2-OtBu, the tetrapeptide Z-(Ac9c)4-OtBu, and the pentapeptide Z-( Ac9c)5-OtBu were determined in the crystal state by X-ray diffraction. Based on this information, the average geometry and the preferred conformation for the cyclononyl moiety of the Ac9c residue have been assessed. The backbone conformational data are strongly in favour of the conclusion that the Ac9c residue is a strong β-turn and helix former. A comparison with the structural propensity of α-aminoisobutyric acid, the prototype of Cα,α-dialkylated glycines, and the other extensively investigated members of the family of 1-aminocycloalkane-1-carboxylic acids (Acnc, with n=3-8) is made and the implications for the use of the Ac9c residue in conformationally constrained analogues of bioactive peptides are briefly examined. © 1997 European Peptide Society and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.J.

    Notes: We have synthesized by solution-phase methods two analogues of the 11-residue lipopeptaibol antibiotic trichogin GA IV in which the N-terminal n-octanoyl group is replaced either by an N-acetylated 2-amino-2-methyl-l-undecanoic acid or by an N-acetylated α-aminoisobutyric acid. CD, FTIR absorption, and NMR analyses unequivocally show that the main structural features of trichogin GA IV are preserved in these analogues. Since only the peptide containing the lipophilic chain exhibits membrane-modifying properties, these results strongly support the view that moving the long acyl moiety from the Nα-blocking group to the side chain of the N-terminal extra-residue does not affect the conformational properties or the membrane activity of trichogin GA IV. © 1998 European Peptide Society and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The terminally blocked tetrapeptide pBrBz-[D-(αMe)Leu]2-D-(αMe)Val-D-(αMe)Leu-OtBu is folded in the crystal state in a left-handed 310-helical structure stabilized by two consecutive 1 ← 4 C=O⃛H—N intramolecular H-bonds, as determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. A CD study strongly supports the view that this conformation is also that largely prevailing in MeOH solution. A comparison with the published conformation of pBrBz-[D-(αMe)Leu]4-OtBu indicates that incorporation of a single internal β-branched (αMe)Val guest residue into the host homo-tetrapeptide from the γ-branched (αMe)Leu residue is responsible for a dramatic structural perturbation, i.e. an inversion of the 310 screw sense from right to left-handed.

    Notes: A variety of host L-alanine homo-peptides (to the pentamer) containing one or two spin-labelled TOAC (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl-4-amino-4-carboxylic acid) residues were synthesized by solution methods and fully characterized. The conformational features of the terminally blocked, doubly spin-labelled-TOAC-(Ala)2-TOAC-Ala- pentapeptide were examined in the crystal state by X-ray diffraction and in solution using a combination of techniques (Fourier transform infrared, circular dichroism, cyclic voltammetry and electron spin resonance) in comparison with singly labelled shorter peptides. The 310-helical structure of the pentapeptide, promoted by the two Cα,α-disubstituted glycines under favourable experimental conditions, allows an interaction to take place between the two nitroxide TOAC side chains spaced by one turn of the helix. Taken together, these results suggest that TOAC is an excellent probe for exploring bends and helices in doubly labelled peptides.

    Notes: A complete series of terminally blocked, monodispersed homo-oligopeptides (to the pentamer level) from the sterically demanding, medium-ring alicyclic Cα,α-disubstituted glycine 1-aminocyclooctane-1-carb oxylic acid (Ac8c), and two Ala/Ac8c tripeptides, were synthesized by solution methods and fully characterized. The preferred conformation of all the oligopeptides was determined in deuterochloroform solution by IR absorption and 1H-NMR. The molecular structures of the amino acid derivative Z-Ac8c-OH, the dipeptide pBrBz- (Ac8c)2-OH and the tripeptide pBrBz-(Ac8c)3-OtBu were assessed in the crystal state by X-ray diffraction. Conformational energy computations were performed on the monopeptide Ac-Ac8c-NHMe. Taken together, the results obtained strongly support the view that the Ac8c residue is an effective β-turn and helix former. A comparison is also made with the conformational preferences of α-aminoisobutyric acid, the prototype of Cα, α-disubstituted glycines, and of the other members of the family of 1-aminocycloalkane-1-carboxylic acids (Acnc, with n=3, 5-7) investigated so far. The implications for the use of the Ac8c residue in peptide conformational design are considered.
