A proper understanding of the detailed nature and mechanism of physicochemical interactions depends heavily upon our ability to design and synthesize conformationally constrained 3D structures whose intercomponent geometry (either rigorously rigid or able to undergo destructuration, if required, but in all cases precisely tunable) would be well defined. To this end we have recently reported a few initial studies and we are currently working on the exploitation of stable, short, helical peptide spacers based on achiral and/or chiral Calpha-tetrasubstituted alpha-amino acids. These building blocks are known to force the peptides either to predominantly fold into a 3(10)-helical structure or to adopt a fully extended, planar 2.0(5)-helix. The systems under investigation involve a donor and an acceptor moiety linked to the N- and C-termini of the oligopeptide spacer main chain. By increasing the number of intervening residues the donor.acceptor separation can be easily modulated. This review highlights details of these two novel peptide secondary structures and their use as molecular spacers in physicochemical investigations. 相似文献

The difference in length between the more elongated peptide 3(10)-helix and the more compact alpha-helix is about 0.4 A/residue. This property makes the 3(10)-/alpha-helix reversible conversion very promising as a molecular switching tool between the N- and C-terminal functions of a peptide backbone. In this work, using homo-peptides of various main-chain length, all based on the strongly helicogenic, Calpha-tetrasubstituted alpha-amino acid Calpha-methyl-L-valine, we show that a well defined, solvent controlled, reversible 3(10)-/alpha-helix transition takes place even in a homo-oligomer as short as a terminally blocked hexapeptide. Homo-peptide sequences blocked as a urethane or an acetamide at the N-terminus and as a methyl ester or an N-alkyl amide at the C-terminus are all appropriate. The nature of the occurring helical species in the various solvents tested was assessed by electronic or vibrational circular dichroism. 相似文献

The novel Calpha-tetrasubstituted alpha-amino acid Calpha-methyl, Calpha-cyclohexylglycine was prepared by hydrogenation of its Calpha-methyl, Calpha-phenylglycine precursor. Terminally protected homodi-, homotri-, and homotetrapeptides from Calpha-methyl, Calpha-cyclohexylglycine and co-oligopeptides to the pentamer level in combination with Gly or alpha-aminoisobutyric acid residues were prepared by solution methods and fully characterized. The results of a conformational analysis, performed by use of Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrophotometer absorption, 1H NMR, and X-ray diffraction techniques, support the contention that this Calpha-methylated, Cbeta-trisubstituted aliphatic alpha-amino acid is an effective beta-turn and 3(10)-helix inducer in tri- and longer peptides as its Calpha-methyl valine parent compound, but partially divergent from the corresponding aromatic Calpha-methyl, Calpha-diphenylmethylglycine residue, known to promote folded and fully extended structures to a significant extent in these oligomers. 相似文献

We synthesized using solution-phase methods three analogs of [l-Leu11-OMe] trichogin GA IV, a membrane active synthetic precursor of the lipopeptaibol antibiotic in which the N-terminal n-octanoyl group and each of the three Aib residues in positions 1, 4 and 8 are replaced by an acetyl group and the lipophilic Calpha,alpha-disubstituted glycine l-(alphaMe)Aun, respectively [partial (alphaMe)Aun scan]. FT-IR absorption and CD analyses unequivocally show that the main three-dimensional structural features of [l-Leu11-OMe] trichogin GA IV are preserved in the analogs. Also, [l-Leu11-OMe] trichogin GA IV and the three Nalpha-acetylated l-(alphaMe)Aun analogs exhibit strictly comparable membrane-modifying properties. Taken together, these results strongly favor the conclusion that a shift of the long hydrocarbon moiety from the Nalpha-blocking group to the side-chain of the 1, 4 or 8 residue does not have any significant effect on the conformational properties or the membrane activity of [l-Leu11-OMe] trichogin GA IV and, by extension, of the natural lipopeptaibol. 相似文献

Summary We synthesized by solution-phase methods the naturally occurring, 10-amino acid residue lipopeptaibol antibiotics trikoningins
KBI and KBII, and the [l-Iva1] KB analogue, in which the amino acid in position 1 is different, with the aim at investigating the effect of hydrophobicity
and chirality in that position. A solution conformational analysis, using FT-IR absorption and CD techniques, indicated that
all of the three decapeptides are predominantly helical in a membrane-mimetic environment. Permeability measurements showed
an increase of the activity from the [Aib1] peptide to the more hydrophobic [Iva1] peptides. Conversely, the effect of a change in chirality, obtained by replacingd-Iva1 withl-Iva, turned out to be of minor significance. 相似文献

The crystal-state preferred conformations of six Nα-blocked pentapeptide esters, each containing four helicogenic, achiral α-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib) residues followed by one chiral L -valine (L -Val) or Cα-methyl-L -valine [(αMe)Val] residue at the C-terminus, have been assessed by x-ray diffraction analysis. In all of the compounds the (Aib)4 sequence is folded in a regular 310-helical conformation. In the four pentapeptides characterized by the L -(αMe)Val residue two conformationally distinct molecules occur in the asymmetric unit. Conversely, only one molecule is observed in the asymmetric unit of two pentapeptides with the C-terminal L -Val residue. In the L -Val based peptides the helical screw sense of the (Aib)4 sequence is right-handed, whereas in the L (αMe)Val analogues both right- and left-handed helical screw senses concomitantly occur in the two crystallographically independent molecules. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The lipophilic, chiral, C(alpha)-methylated alpha-amino acid L-(alphaMe)Aoc (2-methyl-2-amino-octanoic acid) was prepared using a chemo-enzymatic approach. Two series of terminally protected model peptides, from dimer through to hexamer, containing L-(alphaMe)Aoc in combination with either Gly or Aib, were synthesized by solution methods and were fully characterized. A solution conformational analysis, based on FT-IR absorption, 1H-NMR and circular dichroism (CD) techniques, was performed with the aim at determining the preferred conformation of this novel amino acid and the relationship between chirality at its alpha-carbon atom and screw sense of the helix that is formed. The results obtained strongly support the view that L-(alphaMe)Aoc favours the formation of the right-handed 3(10)-helical conformation. 相似文献

Evidence will be presented to show that the allyl group is suitable for the protection of a 3'-terminal phosphodiester function. The latter will be demonstrated by the synthesis, via a phosphotriester approach, of two cyclic tetraribonucleotides [r(AAAA) and r(UAMe2UAMe2)], two cyclic hexadeoxyribonucleotides [d(CGCGCG) and d(TAAAAA)] and a cyclic octadeoxyribonucleotide [d(CGTGCGTG)]. 相似文献

C(alpha)-tetrasubstituted alpha-amino acids constitute a powerful tool for controlling the conformation of short peptide sequences. Chiral peptides may be used in stereoselective reactions both for asymmetric induction and in kinetic resolution. By reviewing recent data from our own laboratories and by presenting new results on the stereoselective oxidation of chalcone to the corresponding oxide, this contribution shows that the control of peptide conformation is a critical issue in order to achieve successful stereoselective catalysis. 相似文献

Peptides characterized by single or multiple N-methylated, C(alpha)-trisubstituted (e.g., protein) amino acids are of great interest in medicinal chemistry. Several naturally occurring peptides, remarkably stable to enzymatic attacks, are based on N-methylated residues. The classical conditions (CH(3)I/Ag(2)O in DMF, 24 h, room temperature) for N-methylation of the peptide function are useful tools for distinguishing solvent exposed from intramolecularly H-bonded -CO-NH- groups in peptides. In this work we have extended this reaction to N(alpha)-acylated, linear peptides based exclusively on helicogenic C(alpha)-tetrasubstituted alpha-amino acids, e.g., Aib (alpha-aminoisobutyric acid) or (alphaMe)Nva (C(alpha)-methyl norvaline) residues. Under the experimental conditions used, only amide monomethylation (on the N-terminal, acylated, residue) takes place. Methylation of internal peptide groups linking two C(alpha)-tetrasubstituted residues was not observed. Our FT-IR absorption, NMR, and X-ray diffraction investigations support the view that the beta-turn and 3(10)-helical conformations preferred by the original peptides are not dramatically perturbed in the derivatives monomethylated at position 1. In particular, the tertiary amide bonds are trans. Conversely, the packing modes in the crystals are strongly influenced by the reduction of the number of H-bonding donors. The MeXxx-Xxx peptide bond is readily disrupted under mild acidic conditions. 相似文献
