Solvent-induced conformational changes in cyclic peptides: a vibrational circular dichroism study.
The three-dimensional structure of a peptide is strongly influenced by its solvent environment. In the present study, we study three cyclic tetrapeptides which serve as model peptides for β-turns. They are of the general structure cyclo(Boc-Cys-Pro-X-Cys-OMe) with the amino acid X being either glycine (1), or L- or D-leucine (L- or D-2). Using vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy, ...
متن کاملVibrational circular dichroism spectroscopy study of paroxetine and femoxetine precursors.
The solution structures of (3R,4S)- and (3S,4R)- 4-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-hydroxylmethyl- 1-methylpiperidine, which are intermediates in the synthesis of the two pharmaceuticals paroxetine and femoxetine, were studied by vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy. In addition, six derivatives with different substituents attached to the C3 atom were prepared and their VCD and absorption spect...
متن کاملCircular dichroism and conformational polymorphism of DNA
Here we review studies that provided important information about conformational properties of DNA using circular dichroic (CD) spectroscopy. The conformational properties include the B-family of structures, A-form, Z-form, guanine quadruplexes, cytosine quadruplexes, triplexes and other less characterized structures. CD spectroscopy is extremely sensitive and relatively inexpensive. This fast a...
متن کاملDirect observation and pH control of reversed supramolecular chirality in insulin fibrils by vibrational circular dichroism.
The controlled reversal of supramolecular helical chirality in protein fibrils is reported for the first time. Normal or reversed insulin fibrils were grown by precise adjustment of pH. AFM images show two polymorphs corresponding to opposite senses of helical twist of the supramolecular structure with the same cross-β-sheet core.
متن کاملConformational flexibility of Corey lactone derivatives indicated by absorption and vibrational circular dichroism spectra.
Infrared absorption and vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra of four Corey lactone derivatives (diol, benzoate, p-phenylbenzoate, and bisbenzoate) were measured and analyzed on the basis of ab initio computations. The analysis interpreted most of the spectral features as well as the differences among individual compounds. Despite the common rigid lactone residue, conformational behavior...
