Abstract

A variety of N[hair space] α-blocked pentapeptide esters, each containing four helicogenic, achiral α-aminoisobutyric acid residues and one chiral L-valine or C[hair space] α-methyl-L-valine residue in the N-terminal, internal or C-terminal position of the sequence, have been synthesized by solution methods and fully characterized. The results of a solution conformational analysis, performed by using FTIR absorption and 1H NMR techniques, favour the conclusion that all of the pentapeptides examined fold into a 310-helical structure. In addition, a CD study of the N[hair space] α-para-bromobenzoylated peptides strongly supports the view that the prevailing screw sense of the 310-helical structure that is formed is strongly dependent upon the position in the sequence of the single chiral C[hair space] α-tri- or C[hair space] α-tetrasubstituted α-amino acid.
