Circular dichroism (CD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR)
 spectroscopy have been used to investigate conformational effects of
 glycation on the secondary structure of opioid peptide Leu-enkephalin
 and on structurally related peptides in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE)
 solution. CD spectral analysis of Leu-enkephalin-related Amadori
 compounds revealed that attachment of the protected or free sugar may
 influence not only the distribution of the backbone but also the
 side-chain conformation of the Tyr moiety. The amide I region of the
 FTIR spectra analysed by self-deconvolution and curve-fitting methods
 revealed that Leu-enkephalin is present as a mixture of
 β-sheet and γ-turn conformers in TFE
 solution, while its methyl ester likely adopts a β-turn
 conformation. FTIR spectroscopy has shown that no major spectral changes
 occur in the peptide part of glycated (Amadori) compounds as compared to
 parent peptides. The structurally related Tyr-Gly-Gly tripeptide
 derivatives contain amide I components at ca. 1630 and ca.
 1645 cm-1 consistent with the presence of
 γ-turns with strong and weak 1 â†� 3
 H-bondings, respectively. The attachment of the protected or free sugar
 moiety to pentapeptides appears to destabilize β-turns but
 not to affect H-bonded γ-turns. In the spectra of Amadori
 compounds containing a free sugar moiety, the component band at ca.
 1730 cm-1 suggests the presence of the open-chain
 sugar form. Based on the studies presented herein, FTIR spectroscopy is
 shown to be a powerful tool for the structural analysis of glycated
 peptides, in particular for the detection of the keto form of the sugar
 and turn conformations of the peptide part of the molecule.
