Abstract:The 13C nmr equilibration method lends itself as a tool for study of conformational rate processes involving aqueous media in conjunction with high activation barriers. This method is applied for measurement of kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of isomerism in the dipeptide L -Pro-L -4Hyp. The activation barrier for cis ? trans interconversion (ω 0° → 180°) is determined, ΔG = 22.3 kcal/mol. From low-temperature study, an upper limit ΔG < 9.7 kcal/mol is evaluated for cis′ ? trans′ rotation (ψ ?40° → 160°). These data are compared with computed values found in literature. The results are discussed in connection with the helix–coil transition of collagen involving Gly-L -Pro-L -4Hyp as nucleation sites.
