Can a consecutive double turn conformation be considered as a peptide based molecular scaffold for supramolecular helix in the solid state?
摘要:
Helices and sheets are ubiquitous in nature. However, there are also some examples of self-assembling molecules forming supramolecular helices and sheets in unnatural systems. Unlike supramolecular sheets there are a very few examples of peptide sub-units that can be used to construct supramolecular helical architectures using the backbone hydrogen bonding functionalities of peptides. In this report we describe the design and synthesis of two single turn/bend forming peptides (Boc-Phe-Aib-Ile-OMe 1 and Boc-Ala-Leu-Aib-OMe 2) (Aib: alpha-aminoisobutyric acid) and a series of double-turn forming peptides (Boc-Phe-Aib-IIe-Aib-OMe 3, Boc-Leu-Aib-Gly-Aib-OMe 4 and Boc-gamma-Abu-Aib-Leu-Aib-OMe 5) (gamma-Abu: gamma-aminobutyric acid). It has been found that, in crystals, on self-assembly, single turn/bend forming peptides form either a supramolecular sheet (peptide 1) or a supramolecular helix (peptide 2). unlike self-associating double turn forming peptides, which have only the option of forming supramolecular helical assemblages.

A single crystal X-ray diffraction study of the tripeptide Boc-Phe-Aib-Leu-OMe (Aib =
α-aminoisobutyric acid) reveals that it forms structurally one of the best type II β-turns so far reported in tripeptides, stabilized by 10 atom intramolecular hydrogen bonding. In contrast, the isomeric tripeptide Boc-Phe-Leu-Aib-OMe adopts a β-strand like conformation. Interestingly, a previously reported structure of another isomeric tripeptide, Boc-Leu-Aib-Phe-OMe, shows a double bend conformation without any intramolecular hydrogen bonding. These results demonstrate an example of the creation of structural diversities in the backbone of small peptides depending upon the co-operative steric interactions amongst the amino acid residues.

morphology. The solid-state FT-IR studies show that the peptides self-assemble by hydrogenbonding. From X-ray crystallography, peptide 1 adopts a kink-like conformation and forms a supramolecular anti-parallel sheet-like structure through multiple intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The replacement of Gly by L-Phe helps peptide 2 to adopt an S-shape conformation and self-assemble to form a supramolecular helix in
