Abstract

Unconstrained γ(4) amino acid residues derived by homologation of proteinogenic amino acids facilitate helical folding in hybrid (αγ)n sequences. The C12 helical conformation for the decapeptide, Boc-[Leu-γ(4)(R)Val]5-OMe, is established in crystals by X-ray diffraction. A regular C12 helix is demonstrated by NMR studies of the 18 residue peptide, Boc-[Leu-γ(4)(R)Val]9-OMe, and a designed 16 residue (αγ)n peptide, incorporating variable side chains. Unconstrained (αγ)n peptides show an unexpectedly high propensity for helical folding in long polypeptide sequences.
