The design of a peptide that contains two distinct elements of secondary structure, helix and beta-hairpin, is described. Two designed 17-residue peptides: Boc-Val-Ala-Leu-Aib-Val-Ala-Leu-Gly-Gly-Leu-Phe-Val-D-Pro-Gly-Leu-Phe-Val-OMe (I) and Boc-Leu-Aib-Val-Ala-Leu-Aib-Val-Gly-Gly-Leu-Val-Val-D-Pro-Gly-Leu-Val-Val-OMe (II) have been conformationally characterized by NMR spectroscopy. Peptides I...
