چکیده

a fragment of histidine rich protein ii (hrp ii 215-236) was investigated by 14n and 17o electric field gradient, efg, tensor calculations using dft. this study is intended to explore the differences between 310-helix and α-helix of hrpii both in the gas phase and in solution. to achieve the aims, the 17o and 14n nqr parameters of a fragment of hrpii (215-236) for both structures are calculated. due to the side chain arrangements of the 310-helix, this conformation contains several hydrogen bonding contacts in comparison to the α-helix form. the resultant 14n and 17o s of peptide bonds of hrpii are affected by these contacts. both in the gas phase and in solution, the differences in 14n s of backbone are within the uncertainties identical between two conformers but not for nh groups of backbone that the related amino acids participate in intramolecular hydrogen bond formation with side chain. in this case, the differences in 14n of backbone are avg.= 0.36 in gas phase and avg.= 0.43mhz in solution. however, differences in 17o parameters of the backbone c=o are distinguishable between two conformers, regardless of in gas phase and in solution, with and without influencing of the intramolecular hydrogen bond. these differences reveal how hydrogen bond interactions affect efg tensors at the sites of oxygen and nitrogen nuclei.

Theoretical Study of a Nonpeptidic Polydisulfide α-Helix.

A carbon-sulfur molecule has been designed as a mimic of peptides. Density functional theory calculations showed that the oxidation of 10 moles of methanedithiol led to a polydisulfide oligomer, HS(CH2SS)9CH2SH. The polydisulfide can adopt an α-helix type of secondary structure, where the chain is coiled. Unlike proteins, the S-S bonds in the polydisulfide function as secondary rather than tert...

An ESIPT fluorescent probe sensitive to protein α-helix structures.

A large majority of membrane proteins have one or more transmembrane regions consisting of α-helices. Membrane protein levels differ from one type of cell to another, and the expression of membrane proteins also changes from normal to diseased cells. For example, prostate cancer cells have been reported to have downregulated expression of membrane proteins, including zinc transporters, compared...

An α‐Helix‐Mimicking 12,13‐Helix: Designed α/β/γ‐Foldamers as Selective Inhibitors of Protein–Protein Interactions

A major current challenge in bioorganic chemistry is the identification of effective mimics of protein secondary structures that act as inhibitors of protein-protein interactions (PPIs). In this work, trans-2-aminocyclobutanecarboxylic acid (tACBC) was used as the key β-amino acid component in the design of α/β/γ-peptides to structurally mimic a native α-helix. Suitably functionalized α/β/γ-pep...

Direct UV Raman Monitoring of 310-Helix and π-Bulge Premelting during r-Helix Unfolding

We used UV resonance Raman (UVRR) spectroscopy exciting at ∼200 nm within the peptide bond π f π* transitions to selectively study the amide vibrations of peptide bonds during R-helix melting. The dependence of the amide frequencies on theirΨ Ramachandran angles and hydrogen bonding enables us, for the first time, to experimentally determine the temperature dependence of the peptide bond Ψ Rama...

The role of [alpha]-, 310-, and [pi]-helix in helix[rarr]coil transitions

The conformational equilibrium between 310and -helical structure has been studied via high-resolution NMR spectroscopy by Millhauser and coworkers using the MW peptide Ac-AMAAKAWAAKA AAARA-NH2. Their 750-MHz nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY) spectra were interpreted to reflect appreciable populations of 310-helix throughout the peptide, with the greatest contribution at the N and C...
