Abstract
Abstract Pseudopeptides are a versatile class of organic building blocks having potential applications in a wide range of domains. In the current study, N and C termini protected l -alanine based short pseudopeptide was synthesized, where 5-aminoisophthalic acid (5-AIA), a rigid non-proteogenic γ-amino butyric acid was incorporated as C-terminal residue. The single crystal X-ray analysis revealed that the l -Ala residue of the aforesaid peptide adopts ϕ and ψ values characteristic of polyproline II conformation. Self-assembly of the pseudopeptide seems to represent a supramolecular helical architecture via NH⋯O, CH⋯O hydrogen bonding and π–π interactions.
期刊介绍:
Zeitschrift für Kristallographie – Crystalline Materials was founded in 1877 by Paul von Groth and is today one of the world’s oldest scientific journals. It offers a place for researchers to present results of their theoretical experimental crystallographic studies. The journal presents significant results on structures and on properties of organic/inorganic substances with crystalline character, periodically ordered, modulated or quasicrystalline on static and dynamic phenomena applying the various methods of diffraction, spectroscopy and microscopy.
