Abstract:
The conformation of a benzodiazepine-like decapeptide corresponding tothe YLGYLEQLLR fragment of a casein has been examined in a sodium dodecylsulfate micellar medium using circular dichroism, two-dimensional1H NMR spectroscopy and restrained molecular dynamicssimulation. The decapeptide adopts an amphipathic 310-helicoidstructure in which theE6···R10 ionic bridgestabilizes the C-terminus.
