tetrapeptides, each consisting a central dipeptide segment of α-amino acid residues flanked by two aromatic γ-amino acid residues, are found to fold into well-defined β-hairpin conformations as shown by NMR, computational study, and X-ray structures. The turn loop of this β-hairpin motif accommodates different two-residue α-amino acid sequences from the highly flexible Gly-Gly, to the more restricted D-Pro-Gly
发现五个杂合四肽,每个由 α-氨基酸残基的中心二肽片段组成,两侧是两个芳香族γ-氨基酸残基,经 NMR、计算研究和 X 射线显示,它们折叠成明确定义的β-发夹构象结构。这个β-发夹基序的转环容纳不同的两个残基α-氨基酸序列,从高度灵活的 Gly-Gly 到更受限制的 D-Pro-Gly。α-氨基酸侧链的存在增强了β-发夹的稳定性,但导致不稳定的 D-Pro-Gly 除外。基于这个发夹/转角基序,α的各种不同的二肽序列β-转角中很少出现的-氨基酸可以被引入并呈现为两个残基环。
