چکیده

The conformation and ion-binding characteristics of a cyclic octapeptide, cyclo (Ala-Leu-Pro-Gly)2, in a liphophilic solvent, acetonitrile, have been studied using CD and nmr spectroscopy. The peptide binds preferentially to divalent cations such as calcium, magnesium, and barium. The conformations of the free cyclic peptide and its calcium complex are very similar with well-defined beta- and gamma-turns. The cyclic peptide readily forms equimolar and possibly 2:1 (peptide:cation) complexes with divalent cations.

New cyclic peptides from Citrus medica var. sarcodactylis SWINGLE.

Two new cyclic peptides were isolated from the fruit peels of Citrus medica var. sarcodactylis SWINGLE. Their structures were elucidated as cyclo(-Gly-Asp-Leu-Thr-Val-Tyr-Phe-) and cyclo(-Gly-Leu-Pro-Trp-Leu-Ile-Ala-Ala-) by intensive two-dimensional (2D) NMR analysis and chemical evidence.

Correction. Study of an octadecaneuropeptide derived from diazepam binding inhibitor (DBI): biological activity and presence in rat brain.

An endogenous brain neuropeptide with 104 amino acid residues that modulates gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor function was termed DBI because it displaces diazepam from its specific brain binding sites. Tryptic digestion of DBI generates an octadecaneuropeptide (ODN) that is more potent than the parent compound in the displacement of specifically bound beta-[3H]carboline-3-carboxylate methyl es...

Isolation, sequencing, synthesis, and pharmacological characterization of two brain neuropeptides that modulate the action of morphine.

Two peptides that crossreact with an antiserum raised against Phe-Met-Arg-Phe-NH2 were purified from bovine brain extract. Their structures were determined to be Ala-Gly-Glu-Gly-Leu-Ser-Ser-Pro-Phe-Trp-Ser-Leu-Ala-Ala-Pro-Gln-Arg-Phe- NH2 and Phe-Leu-Phe-Gln-Pro-Gln-Arg-Phe-NH2. The sequences were determined by gas-phase sequencing, except for the COOH-terminal phenylalaninamides. These were as...

Theoretical Analysis on the Conformational Features of the HCO—Gly—L—Leu—NH2 Protected Dipeptide Motif: Ab initio and DFT Exploratory

For better understanding of conformational stability of the dipeptide model HCO—Gly—L—Leu—NH2,ab initio and DFT computations at HF/6-31G(4 6-311++G(d,p) and B3LYP/6-31G(d) levels oftheory were carried out. Geometry optimization of the dipeptide within the leucine (Leu) side chainangles (x2 ,x2) resulted in three stable conformations as followings: anti-anti, the most stable one,(Xi = 180°, x2 =...
