摘要: Peptides containing residues with alternatingd- andl-stereochemistry in the backbone have been studied for their single-strand helix-forming capability by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The influence of nature side chain such as steric, branching and polarity on helix forming ability has probed studyingt-Boc-(l-Ala-d-Ala)4-OMe (small hydrophobic chain),t-Boc-(l-Phe-d-Phe)4-OMe (bulky chain),t-Boc-(l-Val-d-Val)4-OMe (β-branch chain),t-Boc-(d-allolle-l-Ile)3-OMe (γ-branch chain), andt-Boc-(l-Ala-d-Ser)4-OMe (hydrophobic hydrophilic chains). Besides this, effect unsymmetricalα,α-disubstitution Cα carbons stability also investigated. results show that peptides, exception those withα,α-disubstitution, a unique to formβ-helices.
