Abstract
A single-crystal X-ray diffraction study of the terminally protected tetrapeptide Boc-beta-Ala-Aib-Leu-Aib-OMe 1 (Aib: alpha-aminoisobutyric acid; beta-Ala: beta-Alanine) reveals that it adopts a new type of double turn structure which self-associates to form a unique supramolecular helix through intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Scanning electron microscopic studies show that peptide 1 exhibits amyloid-like fibrillar morphology in the solid state.
