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 کاملA Study of the Oxidation-Induced Conformational and Functional Changes in Neuroserpin
Neuroserpin, a member of the Serine Proteinase Inhibitor (Serpin) superfamily, is known to be a neuroprotective factor in the focal ischemic stroke followed by reducing the microglial activation. Neuroserpin is a protein rich of methionine residues that can scavenge the free radical species which may increase its neuroprotective effect. On the other hand, the oxidative modifications of the amin...
متن کاملSolvent and conformational effects on the ultraviolet spectra of polypeptides and substituted amides.
The study of the ultraviolet spectra of proteins and polypeptides shows changes in the 215to 245-rnp region, occurring simultaneously with alterations in conformation, such as denaturation or helix-coil transitions (1, 2). Recently (3-5), the rotatory dispersion curves of helical synthetic polypeptides and certain native proteins have been extended into the wave length range mentioned above and...
متن کاملSolvent Induced Circular Dichroism in Conformational Analysis: Bile Pigments
The applicability of solvent induced circular dichroism (SICD) for the conformational analysis of bile pigments has been investigated. The S-(—)-ethyl lactate induced rotational strengths for octaethylbilindion (4) and its dihydroderivative 5 are remarkably high. Related compounds, e.g. the isomeric purpurines 1 and 2 and formyltripyrrinon 3 exhibit an optical activity which is smaller by more ...
متن کاملCharge-Induced Conformational Changes of Dendrimers
We study the effect of chargeable monomers on the conformation of dendrimers of low generation by computer simulations, employing bare Coulomb interactions. The presence of the latter leads to an increase in size of the dendrimer due to a combined effect of electrostatic repulsion and the presence of counterions within the dendrimer and also enhances a shell-like structure for the monomers of d...
