In this paper the structure of the isolated tetrapeptide model AcâLeuâValâTyr(Me)âNHMe (Leu = leucine, Val = valine, Tyr = tyrosine) is investigated by mass- and isomer-selective IR/UV double resonance spectroscopy. Two isomers of this peptide are observed and in combination with force field, ab initio, and DFT calculations these structures are assigned to folded arrangements presenting two different secondary structure binding motifs: (a) a combined γ-turn/β-turn structure and (b) a triple γ-turn structure, which is described for the first time for an isolated model system in the gas phase.
本文通过质量和同分异构体选择性红外/紫外双共振光谱法研究了分离的四肽模型 AcâLeuâValâTyr(Me)âNHMe (Leu = 亮
氨酸,Val = 缬
氨酸,Tyr =
酪氨酸)的结构。结合力场、ab initio 和 DFT 计算,观察到了这种肽的两种异构体,并将这些结构归结为折叠排列,呈现出两种不同的二级结构结合图案:(a) δ-匝/δ-²-匝组合结构和 (b) 三重δ-匝结构。
