The highly constrained β‐amino acid ABOC induces different types of helices in β urea and 1:1 α/β amide oligomers. The latter can adopt 11/9‐ and 18/16‐helical folds depending on the chain length in solution. Short peptides alternating proteinogenic α‐amino acids and ABOC in a 2:1 α/β repeat pattern adopted an unprecedented and stable 12/14/14‐helix. The structure was established through extensive NMR, molecular dynamics, and IR studies. While the 1:1 α‐AA/ABOC helices diverged from the canonical α‐helix, the helix formed by the 9‐mer 2:1 α/β‐peptide allowed the projection of the α‐amino acid side chains in a spatial arrangement according to the α‐helix. Such a finding constitutes an important step toward the conception of functional tools that use the ABOC residue as a potent helix inducer for biological applications. 相似文献

Novel three‐residue helix‐turn secondary structures, nucleated by a helix at the N terminus, were generated in peptides that have ‘β‐Caa‐L ‐Ala‐L ‐Ala,’ ‘β‐Caa‐L ‐Ala‐γ‐Caa,’ and ‘β‐Caa‐L ‐Ala‐δ‐Caa’ (in which β‐Caa is C‐linked carbo‐β‐amino acid, γ‐Caa is C‐linked carbo‐γ‐amino acid, and δ‐Caa is C‐linked carbo‐δ‐amino acid) at the C terminus. These turn structures are stabilized by 12‐, 14‐, and 15‐membered (mr) hydrogen bonding between NH(i)/CO(i+2) (i+2 is the last residue in the peptide) along with a 7‐mr hydrogen bond between CO(i)/NH(i+2). In addition, a series of α/β‐peptides were designed and synthesized with alternating glycine (Gly) and (S)‐β‐Caa to study the influence of an achiral α‐residue on the helix and helix‐turn structures. In contrast to previous results, the three ‘β–α–β’ residues at the C terminus (α‐residue being Gly) are stabilized by only a 13‐mr forward hydrogen bond, which resembles an α‐turn. Extensive NMR spectroscopic and molecular dynamics (MD) studies were performed to support these observations. The influence of chirality and side chain is also discussed. 相似文献

This study describes chirality‐ or template‐mediated helical induction in achiral β‐peptides for the first time. A strategy of end capping β‐peptides derived from β‐hGly (the smallest achiral β‐amino acid) with a chiral β‐amino acid that possesses a carbohydrate side chain (β‐Caa; C‐linked carbo β‐amino acid) or a small, robust helical template derived from β‐Caas, was adopted to investigate folding propensity. A single chiral (R)‐β‐Caa residue at the C‐ or N‐terminus in these oligomers led to a preponderance of right‐handed 12/10‐helical folds, which was reiterated more strongly in peptides capped at both the C‐ and N‐terminus. Likewise, the presence of a template (a 12/10‐helical trimer) at both the C‐ and N‐terminus resulted in a very robust helix. The propagation of the helical fold and its sustenance was found in a homo‐oligomeric sequence with as many as seven β‐hGly residues. In both cases, the induction of helicity was stronger from the N terminus, whereas an anchor at the C terminus resulted in reduced helical propensity. Although these oligomers have been theoretically predicted to favor a 12/10‐mixed helix in apolar solvents, this study provides the first experimental evidence for their existence. Diastereotopicity was found in both the methylene groups of the β‐hGly moieties due to chirality. Additionally, the β‐hGly units have shown split behavior in the conformational space to accommodate the 12/10‐helix. Thus, end capping to assist chiralty‐ or template‐mediated helical induction and stabilization in achiral β‐peptides is a very attractive strategy. 相似文献

A new three‐residue turn was serendipitously discovered in α/β hybrid peptides derived from alternating C‐linked carbo‐β‐amino acids (β‐Caa) and L ‐Ala residues. The three‐residue β‐α‐β turn at the C termini, nucleated by a helix at the N termini, resulted in helix‐turn (HT) supersecondary structures in these peptides. The turn in the HT motif is stabilized by two H bonds—CO(i?2)–NH(i), with a seven‐membered pseudoring (γ turn) in the backward direction, and NH(i?2)–CO(i), with a 13‐membered pseudoring in the forward direction (i being the last residue)—at the C termini. The study was extended to generalize the new three‐residue turn (β‐α‐β) by using different α‐ and β‐amino acids. Furthermore, the HT motifs were efficiently converted, by an extension with helical oligomers at the C termini, into peptides with novel helix‐turn‐helix (HTH) tertiary structures. However, this resulted in the destabilization of the β‐α‐β turn with the concomitant nucleation of another three‐residue turn, α‐β‐β, which is stabilized by 11‐ and 15‐membered bifurcated H bonds. Extensive NMR spectroscopic studies were carried out to delineate the secondary and tertiary structures in these peptides, which are further supported by molecular dynamics (MD) investigations. 相似文献

Short α‐peptides with less than 10 residues generally display a low propensity to nucleate stable helical conformations. While various strategies to stabilize peptide helices have been previously reported, the ability of non‐peptide helical foldamers to stabilize α‐helices when fused to short α‐peptide segments has not been investigated. Towards this end, structural investigations into a series of chimeric oligomers obtained by joining aliphatic oligoureas to the C‐ or N‐termini of α‐peptides are described. All chimeras were found to be fully helical, with as few as 2 (or 3) urea units sufficient to propagate an α‐helical conformation in the fused peptide segment. The remarkable compatibility of α‐peptides with oligoureas described here, along with the simplicity of the approach, highlights the potential of interfacing natural and non‐peptide backbones as a means to further control the behavior of α‐peptides. 相似文献

α‐Aminoxy peptides are peptidomimetic foldamers with high proteolytic and conformational stability. To gain an improved synthetic access to α‐aminoxy oligopeptides we used a straightforward combination of solution‐ and solid‐phase‐supported methods and obtained oligomers that showed a remarkable anticancer activity against a panel of cancer cell lines. We solved the first X‐ray crystal structure of an α‐aminoxy peptide with multiple turns around the helical axis. The crystal structure revealed a right‐handed 28‐helical conformation with precisely two residues per turn and a helical pitch of 5.8 Å. By 2D ROESY experiments, molecular dynamics simulations, and CD spectroscopy we were able to identify the 28‐helix as the predominant conformation in organic solvents. In aqueous solution, the α‐aminoxy peptides exist in the 28‐helical conformation at acidic pH, but exhibit remarkable changes in the secondary structure with increasing pH. The most cytotoxic α‐aminoxy peptides have an increased propensity to take up a 28‐helical conformation in the presence of a model membrane. This indicates a correlation between the 28‐helical conformation and the membranolytic activity observed in mode of action studies, thereby providing novel insights in the folding properties and the biological activity of α‐aminoxy peptides. 相似文献

Cyclic pentapeptides (e.g. Ac‐(cyclo‐1,5)‐[KAXAD]‐NH2; X=Ala, 1 ; Arg, 2 ) in water adopt one α‐helical turn defined by three hydrogen bonds. NMR structure analysis reveals a slight distortion from α‐helicity at the C‐terminal aspartate caused by torsional restraints imposed by the K(i)–D(i+4) lactam bridge. To investigate this effect on helix nucleation, the more water‐soluble 2 was appended to N‐, C‐, or both termini of a palindromic peptide ARAARAARA (≤5 % helicity), resulting in 67, 92, or 100 % relative α‐helicity, as calculated from CD spectra. From the C‐terminus of peptides, 2 can nucleate at least six α‐helical turns. From the N‐terminus, imperfect alignment of the Asp5 backbone amide in 2 reduces helix nucleation, but is corrected by a second unit of 2 separated by 0–9 residues from the first. These cyclic peptides are extremely versatile helix nucleators that can be placed anywhere in 5–25 residue peptides, which correspond to most helix lengths in protein–protein interactions. 相似文献

Transformation of proteins and peptides to fibrillar aggregates rich in β sheets underlies many diseases, but mechanistic details of these structural transitions are poorly understood. To simulate aggregation, four equivalents of a water‐soluble, α‐helical (65 %) amphipathic peptide (AEQLLQEAEQLLQEL) were assembled in parallel on an oxazole‐containing macrocyclic scaffold. The resulting 4α‐helix bundle is monomeric and even more α helical (85 %), but it is also unstable at pH 4 and undergoes concentration‐dependent conversion to β‐sheet aggregates and amyloid fibrils. Fibrils twist and grow with time, remaining flexible like rope (>1 μm long, 5–50 nm wide) with multiple strings (2 nm), before ageing to matted fibers. At pH 7 the fibrils revert back to soluble monomeric 4α‐helix bundles. During α→β folding we were able to detect soluble 310 helices in solution by using 2D‐NMR, CD and FTIR spectroscopy. This intermediate satisfies the need for peptide elongation, from the compressed α helix to the fully extended β strand/sheet, and is driven here by 310‐helix aggregation triggered in this case by template‐promoted helical bundling and by hydrogen‐bonding glutamic acid side chains. A mechanism involving α?α4?(310)4?(310)n?(β)n?m(β)n equilibria is plausible for this peptide and also for peptides lacking hydrogen‐bonding side chains, with unfavourable equilibria slowing the α→β conversion. 相似文献

Peptides of homochiral α‐aminoxy acids of nonpolar side chains can form a 1.88‐helix. In this paper, we report the conformational studies of α‐aminoxy peptides 1 , 2 , 3 , which have functionalized side chains, in both nonpolar and polar solvents. 1H NMR, XRD, and FTIR absorption studies confirm the presence of the eight‐membered‐ring intramolecular hydrogen bonds (the N‐O turns) in nonpolar solvents as well as in methanol. CD studies of peptides 1 , 2 , 3 in different solvents indicate that a substantial degree of helical content is retained in methanol and acidic aqueous buffers. The introduction of functionalized side chains in α‐aminoxy peptides provides opportunities for designing biologically active peptides. 相似文献

α,β‐Linked oligothiazoles with head‐to‐tail connectivity are presented as a new family of helical scaffolds. Combinations of palladium‐catalyzed cross‐coupling reactions at the 5‐ and 4‐positions of 2‐phenylthiazole led to the synthesis of oligo(2‐phenylthiazoles) with ortho linkages with a variety of defined sequences. The secondary structures of the α,β‐linked oligo(2‐phenylthiazoles) showed a clear dependence on their sequences. X‐ray crystallography of the trimer, tetramer, and hexamer with head‐to‐tail connection revealed the formation of a helical structure, which was stabilized by a combination of intramolecular forces, including interheteroatom (S???N), CH–π, and π–π interactions. The introduction of a chiral end‐group successfully led to the induction of chirality into the helical conformations. Programmable sequences for controlled geometries and photofunctions have been demonstrated through the manifold connection pathways in α,β‐linked oligothiazoles. 相似文献

A new three‐residue turn in β peptides nucleated by a 12/10‐mixed helix is presented. In this design, β peptides were derived from the 1:1 alternation of C‐linked carbo‐β‐amino acid ester [BocNH‐(R)‐β‐Caa(r)‐OMe] (Boc=tert‐butyloxycarbonyl), which consisted of a D ‐ribo furanoside side chain, and β‐hGly residues. The hexapeptide with (R)‐β‐Caa(r) at the N terminus showed the ‘turn’ stabilized by a 14‐membered NH(4) ??? CO(6) hydrogen bond at the C terminus nucleated by a robust 12/10‐mixed helix, thus providing a ‘helix‐turn’ (HT) motif. The turn and the helix were additionally stabilized by intraresidue electrostatic interaction between the furan oxygen in the carbohydrate side chain and NH in the backbone. However, the hexapeptide with a β‐hGly residue at the N terminus demonstrated the presence of a 10/12 helix through its entire length, which again showed the intraresidue interaction between NH and furan oxygen. The intraresidue NH ??? O? Me electrostatic interactions observed in the monomer, however, were absent in the peptides. 相似文献

The design and synthesis of β‐peptides from new C‐linked carbo‐β‐amino acids (β‐Caa) presented here, provides an opportunity to understand the impact of carbohydrate side chains on the formation and stability of helical structures. The β‐amino acids, Boc‐(S)‐β‐Caa(g)‐OMe 1 and Boc‐(R)‐β‐Caa(g)‐OMe 2 , having a D ‐galactopyranoside side chain were prepared from D ‐galactose. Similarly, the homo C‐linked carbo‐β‐amino acids (β‐hCaa); Boc‐(S)‐β‐hCaa(x)‐OMe 3 and Boc‐(R)‐β‐hCaa(x)‐OMe 4 , were prepared from D ‐glucose. The peptides derived from the above monomers were investigated by NMR, CD, and MD studies. The β‐peptides, especially the shorter ones obtained from the epimeric (at the amine stereocenter Cβ) 1 and 2 by the concept of alternating chirality, showed a much smaller propensity to form 10/12‐helices. This substantial destabilization of the helix could be attributed to the bulkier D ‐galactopyranoside side chain. Our efforts to prepare peptides with alternating 3 and 4 were unsuccessful. However, the β‐peptides derived from alternating geometrically heterochiral (at Cβ) 4 and Boc‐(R)‐β‐Caa(x)‐OMe 5 (D ‐xylose side chain) display robust right‐handed 10/12‐helices, while the mixed peptides with alternating 4 and Boc‐β‐hGly‐OMe 6 (β‐homoglycine), resulted in left‐handed β‐helices. These observations show a distinct influence of the side chains on helix formation as well as their stability. 相似文献

Peptide foldamers containing both cis ‐β‐aminocyclopentanecarboxylic acid and α‐amino acid residues combined in various sequence patterns (ααβ, αααβ, αβααβ, and ααβαααβ) were screened using CD and NMR spectroscopy for the tendency to form helices. ααβ‐Peptides were found to fold into an unprecedented and well‐defined 16/17/15/18/14/17‐helix. By extending the length of the sequence or shifting a fragment of the sequence from one terminus to another in ααβ‐peptides, the balance between left‐handed and right‐handed helix populations present in the solution can be controlled. Engineering of the peptide sequence could lead to compounds with either a strong propensity for the selected helix sense or a mixture of helical conformations of opposite senses. 相似文献

Double helices are not common in polypeptides and proteins except in the peptide antibiotic gramicidin A and analogous l,d ‐peptides. In contrast to natural polypeptides, remarkable β‐double‐helical structures from achiral γ‐peptides built from α,β‐unsaturated γ‐amino acids have been observed. The crystal structures suggest that they adopted parallel β‐double helical structures and these structures are stabilized by the interstrand backbone amide H‐bonds. Furthermore, both NMR spectroscopy and fluorescence studies support the existence of double‐helical conformations in solution. Although a variety of folded architectures featuring distinct H‐bonds have been discovered from the β‐ and γ‐peptide foldamers, this is the first report to show that achiral γ‐peptides can spontaneously intertwine into β‐double helical structures. 相似文献

A peptide model is a physical system containing a CONH group, the simplest being HCONHCH3, N‐methylformamide (NMF). We have discovered that NMF and N‐methylacetamide (NMA), which form hydrogen‐bonded oligomers in thin films on a planar AgX fiber, display infrared (IR) spectra with peaks like those of polypeptide helices. Structures can be assigned by their amide I maxima near 1672 (310), 1655 (310), 1653 (α), 1655 (π), and 1635 cm?1 (π), which are the first IR data for the π‐helix. Sharp peaks are an outcome of immobilization of polar species on the polar surface of silver halides. We report the first use of expanded thin‐film IR spectroscopy, in which plots of every spectrum over the amide I–II range show pauses or slow stages in the increase or decrease of absorption. These are identified as static phases followed by dynamic phases, with the incremental gain or loss of a helix turn. A general theory can be stated for such processes. Density functional calculations show that the NMA α‐helix pentamer (crystal structure geometry) is transformed into a π‐helix‐like form. For the first time, an entire sequence (310‐helix, α‐helix, π‐helix, quasiplanar species) of spectra has been recorded for NMA. 相似文献

A hydrogen‐bonding interface between helical aromatic oligoamide foldamers has been designed to promote the folding of a helix‐turn‐helix motif with a head‐to‐tail arrangement of two helices of opposite handedness. This design complements an earlier helix‐turn‐helix motif with a head‐to‐head arrangement of two helices of identical handedness interface. The two motifs were shown to have comparable stability and were combined in a unimolecular tetra‐helix fold constituting the largest abiotic tertiary structure to date. 相似文献

Cyclic homologated amino acids are important building blocks for the construction of helical foldamers. N‐aminoazetidine‐2‐carboxylic acid (AAzC), an aza analogue of trans‐2‐aminocyclobutanecarboxylic acid (tACBC), displays a strong hydrazino turn conformational feature, which is proposed to act as an 8‐helix primer. tACBC oligomers bearing a single N‐terminal AAzC residue were studied to evaluate the ability of AAzC to induce and support an 8‐helix along the oligopeptide length. While tACBC homooligomers assume a dominant 12‐helix conformation, the aza‐primed oligomers preferentially adopt a stabilized 8‐helix conformation for an oligomer length up to 6 residues. The (formal) single‐atom exchange at the N terminus of a tACBC oligomer thus contributes to the sustainability of the 8‐helix, which resists the switch to a 12‐helix. This effect illustrates atomic‐level programmable design for fine tuning of peptide foldamer architectures. 相似文献

Supramolecular assembly of various artificially folded 12‐helical architectures composed of γ4‐Val, γ4‐Leu and γ4‐Phe residues is investigated. In contrast to the 12‐helices composed of γ4‐Val and γ4‐Leu residues, the helices with γ4‐Phe residues displayed unique elongated nanotubular architectures. The elongated nanotube assembly was further explored as a template for biomineralization of silver ions to silver nanowires. A comparative study using an analogous α‐peptide helix reveals the importance of the spatial arrangement of aromatic side chains along the helical cylinder in a 12‐helix. These results suggested that the proteolytically and structurally stable α,γ4‐hybrid peptide 12‐helices may serve as a new generation of potential templates in the design of functional biomaterials. 相似文献

Chiral cyclic α,α‐disubstituted amino acids, (3S,4S)‐ and (3R,4R)‐1‐amino‐3,4‐(dialkoxy)cyclopentanecarboxylic acids ((S,S)‐ and (R,R)‐Ac5cdOR; R: methyl, methoxymethyl), were synthesized from dimethyl L ‐(+)‐ or D ‐(?)‐tartrate, and their homochiral homoligomers were prepared by solution‐phase methods. The preferred secondary structure of the (S,S)‐Ac5cdOMe hexapeptide was a left‐handed (M) 310 helix, whereas those of the (S,S)‐Ac5cdOMe octa‐ and decapeptides were left‐handed (M) α helices, both in solution and in the crystal state. The octa‐ and decapeptides can be well dissolved in pure water and are more α helical in water than in 2,2,2‐trifluoroethanol solution. The left‐handed (M) helices of the (S,S)‐Ac5cdOMe homochiral homopeptides were exclusively controlled by the side‐chain chiral centers, because the cyclic amino acid (S,S)‐Ac5cdOMe does not have an α‐carbon chiral center but has side‐chain γ‐carbon chiral centers. 相似文献

Anion binding properties of neutral helical foldamers consisting of urea type units in their backbone have been investigated. 1H NMR titration studies in various organic solvents including DMSO suggest that the interaction between aliphatic oligoureas and anions (CH3COO?, H2PO4?, Cl?) is site‐specific, as it largely involves the urea NHs located at the terminal end of the helix (positive pole of the helix), which do not participate to the helical intramolecular hydrogen‐bonding network. This mode of binding parallels that found in proteins in which anion‐binding sites are frequently found at the N‐terminus of an α‐helix. 1H NMR studies suggest that the helix of oligoureas remains largely folded upon anion binding, even in the presence of a large excess of the anion. This study points to potentially useful applications of oligourea helices for the selective recognition of small guest molecules. 相似文献
