    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.

    Notes: Irregular protein secondary structures are believed to be important structural domains involved in molecular recognition processes between proteins, in interactions between peptide substrates and receptors, and in protein folding. In these respects tight turns are being studied in detail. They also represent template structures for the design of new molecules such as drugs, pesticides, or antigens. Isolated α-turns, not participating in α-helical structures, have received little attention due to the overwhelming presence of other types of tight turns in peptide and protein structures. The growing number of protein X-ray structures allowed us to undertake a systematic search into the Protein Data Bank of this uncharacterized protein secondary structure. A classification of isolated α-turns into different types, based on conformational similarity, is reported here. A preliminary analysis on the occurrence of some particular amino acids in certain positions of the turned structure is also presented. © 1996 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: In the present paper we describe the synthesis, purification, and single crystal x-ray analysis of the cyclic pentapeptide cyclo-(Pro-Phe-Phe-β-Ala-β-Ala). This compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121 from methanol and adopts in the solid state an unusual conformation characterized by a cis β-Ala5-Pro1 peptide bond and by an intramolecular hydrogen bond stabilizing a C11- and a C12-ring structure. The C11, structure contains the Phe3 and the β-Ala4 at the corner position of the turn; it is the first observation of a type II β-turn enlargement due to the insertion of an extra methylene group of the β-alanine residue. The rest of the molecule participates in a newly characterized C12-ring structure, which incorporates a β-Ala residue at position i of the turn. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: In the present paper we describe the synthesis, purification, single crystal x-ray analysis, and solution structural characterization by nmr spectroscopy, combined with restrained molecular dynamic simulations, of the cyclic hexapeptide cyclo-(Pro-Phe-β-Ala-Phe-Phe-β-Ala). The peptide was synthesized by classical solution methods and the cyclization of the free hexapeptide was accomplished in good yields in diluted methylenechloride solution using N, N-dicyclohexyl-carbodiimide. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21 from methanol/ethyl acetate. The molecule adopts in the solid state a conformation characterized by cis β-Ala6-Pro1 peptide bond. The α-amino acid residues are at the corner positions of turned structures. The Pro1-Phe2 segment is incorporated in a pseudo type I β-turn, while Phe4-Phe5 is in a typical type I β-turn. Assignment of all 1H and 13C resonances was achieved by homo- and heteronuclear two-dimensional techniques in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) solutions. The conformational analysis was based on inter-proton distances derived from rotating frame nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy spectra and homonuclear coupling constants. Restrained molecular dynamic simulation in vacuo was also performed to built refined molecular models. The molecule is present in DMSO solution as two slowly interconverting conformers, characterized by a cis-tran isomerism around the β-Ala6-Pro1 peptide bond. This work confirms our expectations on the low propensity of β-alanyl residues to be positioned at the corners of turned structure. © 1994 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: The solid state conformational analysis of [Tyr4] cyclolinopeptide A has been carried out by x-ray diffraction studies. The crystal structure of the monoclinic form, grown from a dioxane-water mixture [a = 9.849 (5) Å, b = 20.752 (4) Å, c = 16.728 (5) Å, β = 98.83 (3)°, space group P21, Z = 2], shows the presence of five intramolecular N-H- O=C hydrogen bonds, with formation of one C17 ring structure, one α-turn (C13), one inverse γ-turn (C7), and two β-turns (C10, one of type III and one of type 1). The Pro1-Pro2 peptide unit is cis (ω = 5°) all others are trans. The structure is almost superimposable with that of cyclolinopeptide A. The rms deviation for the atoms of the backbones is on the average 0.33 Å. © 1995 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.
