The adipoyl- and suberoyl-linked bis(Ala) peptides have an extended backbone between the two C alpha atoms in each molecule. They self-assemble, through intermolecular hydrogen bonds and stacking of parallel strands, into highly ordered modified beta-sheet-like structures.

Complete proton resonance assignments of the naturally occurring mu-selective dermorphin (H-Tyr-D-Ala-Phe-Gly-Tyr-Pro-Ser-NH2) and delta-selective deltorphin-I (H-Tyr-D-Ala-Phe-Asp-Val-Val-Gly-NH2) were carried out by two-dimensional 1H-NMR techniques to investigate the conformational features in the membrane-mimetic micelles of perdeuterated dodecylphosphocholine. Fifty possible three-dimensional structures for respective peptides were generated by means of distance geometry calculations, all of which satisfy the proton-proton distances derived from NOE measurements within the allowable range, and 25 of them were subjected to the molecular dynamics simulations for 10 ps, in which the NOE distances were included as the energetic constraints. Although conformers simulated for dermorphin showed relatively large conformational variations because of the limited NOE data, most of them were characterized as an entirely folded structure bent at the Gly4 residue, where each of the N- and C-terminal tetrapeptides took an extended conformation. On the other hand, most conformations of deltorphin-I showed the common feature that the N-terminal Tyr-D-Ala-Phe-Asp and C-terminal Val-Val-Gly-NH2 sequences took respective folded conformations, and these were almost at right angles on the border of the Asp-Val sequence. These conformational characteristics are discussed in terms of the possible relationship with the mu/delta-opioid receptor selectivity.
利用二维核磁共振技术对天然存在的多选择性德尔morphin (h - tyr -d - ala - ph - gly - tyr - pro - ser - nh2)和三角洲选择性德尔海豚- i (h - tyr -d - ala - ph - asp - val - val - gly - nh2)进行了完全质子共振配位,以研究透氘化十二烷基磷胆碱膜模拟胶束的构象特征。通过距离几何计算生成了50种可能的多肽三维结构,它们都满足NOE测量得到的质子-质子距离在允许范围内,并对其中25种进行了10 ps的分子动力学模拟,其中NOE距离作为能量约束。虽然模拟dermorphin的构象由于有限的NOE数据而显示出相对较大的构象变化,但大多数构象的特征是在Gly4残基处弯曲的完全折叠结构,其中每个N端和c端四肽都具有扩展的构象。另一方面,deltorphin-I的大部分构象都表现出n端tyrr - d - ala - phe - asp和c端Val-Val-Gly-NH2序列各自折叠构象的共同特征,且它们在Asp-Val序列的边界上几乎成直角。讨论了这些构象特征与阿片受体选择性的可能关系。

A convenient enantioselective synthesis of p-hydroxymethyl-L-phenylalanine was developed which produces a 4/1 ratio of L/D enantiomers resulting from a chiral phase-transfer-catalyzed alkylation. This amino acid was coupled into the p56(1)ck tyrosine kinase substrate Ac-Leu-Pro-Tyr-Ala-NHCH3 as a replacement for Tyr and can subsequently be elaborated into a variety of potential tyrosine kinase inhibitor designs of general structure Ac-Leu-Pro-AA-Ala-NHCH3, wherein AA is an unnatural amino acid. The contaminating D enantiomer was readily removed after coupling to L-Ala-NHCH3 of this sequence. The utility of the p-hydroxymethyl functionality in an efficient divergent synthetic strategy leading to various inhibitor designs is illustrated with the synthesis of Ac-Leu-Pro-AA-Ala-NHCH3, wherein AA is p-(R,S-hydroxyphosphonomethyl)-L-phenylalanine.

The influence of low temperature and high viscosity on the conformation of somatostatin and two of its analogues was investigated by 1H NMR in solution. The conformation of native somatostatin, a cyclic octapeptide agonist DC13-116 and a linear octapeptide agonist were compared in ethylene glycol at 303 K and in methanol at low temperature. The first goal of this study was to investigate if either low temperature or high viscosity is the more important for the reduction of the conformational freedom. Secondly we wanted to compare the amount of information concerning the conformation present in both solvents. A larger amount of NOESY cross-peaks is observed in ethylene glycol at room temperature compared to methanol at low temperature. This indicates that the raising of the viscosity is a more important factor in reducing the flexibility of peptides than the lowering of the temperature.

A conformation analysis of tetrapeptide in DMSO was carried out by the Monte Carlo simulation including the solvent effects in the energy function. The lowest energy conformations in the zwitterionic and cationic states are a similar compact form, in which the two aromatic rings are close to each other. The distance distributions between the specified atoms in the molecule show that most conformations in the local energy minima are similar to this folded conformation, although there is another type of conformation of interest, which has an extended form with the two separate aromatic rings. Such results are consistent with the NMR and CD experiments, and suggest that the compact form of tetragastrin is essential as a biological active conformation. The folded structure is stabilized by the solute-solvent interaction. In particular, the nonbonding interactions between the solute and solvent molecules cause a folding effect on the molecular conformation in total. This study is a first case taking account of the solvent effect into the conformation analysis of tetragastrin.

We recently described a two-step enzymatic semisynthesis of the superpotent analog of human growth hormone releasing factor, [desNH2Tyr1,D-Ala2,Ala15]-GRF(1-29)-NH2 (4), from the precursor, [Ala15,29]-GRF(4-29)-OH (1). C-Terminal amidation of 1 to form [Ala15]-GRF(4-29)-NH2 (2) was achieved by carboxypeptidase-Y-catalyzed exchange of Ala29-OH for Arg-NH2. The target analog 4 was then obtained by acylation of segment 2 with desNH2Tyr-D-Ala-Asp(OH)-OR (3) (R = CH3CH2- or 4-NO2C6H4CH2-) catalyzed by the V8 protease. In this paper we report on the use of the recently isolated Glu/Asp-specific endopeptidase (GSE) from Bacillus licheniformis, which is shown to be an efficient catalyst for the segment condensation of 2 and 3. GSE is more stable than the V8 protease under the conditions employed (20% DMF, pH 8.2, 37 degrees C). The extent of conversion of 2 into 4 is limited by proteolyses at Asp3-Ala4 and Asp25-Ile26. However, this proteolysis is virtually eliminated by use of the appropriate ester leaving group, R. A systematic study of the kinetics of the GSE-catalyzed segment condensations of 2 and a series of tripeptide esters, desNH2Tyr-D-Ala-Asp(OH)-OR (3) [R = CH3CH2- (3a), CH3- (3b), ClCH2CH2- (3c), C6H5CH2- (3d), 4-NO2C6H4CH2- (3e)] revealed that rate of aminolysis versus proteolysis, and hence the conversion of 2 into 4, increase with increasing specificity (Vmax/Km) of GSE for the tripeptide ester.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Perloza beaded cellulose was functionalised by a cyanoethylation/reduction procedure to give aminopropyl Perloza. Fmoc-amino acids were anchored to aminopropyl Perloza beaded cellulose via the TFA labile 4-oxymethylphenoxyacetyl (HMPA) linker. Using Fmoc-aminoacyl-4-oxymethylphenoxyacetyl-2,4-dichloro-phenyl esters, all 20 amino acids were anchored at substitution levels ranging from 0.37 to 0.65 mmol/g. Fmoc-amino acids were also anchored using the peptide-amide linker 4-[(R,S)-1-[1-(9H-fluoren-9-yl)-methoxycarbonylamino - (2',4'-dimethoxybenzyl]phenoxyacetic acid. The Fmoc-aminoacyl resins were used for SPPS using Fmoc chemistry. SPPS was carried out using either an LKB Biolynx 4175 low-pressure pumped column continuous-flow peptide synthesiser or an ABI 430A automated vortexing batchwise instrument. Comparison of peptides made using each synthesiser showed little difference in quality of the crude peptides. Different Fmoc-amino acid activation methods (DIC/HOBt/DMF, HBTU, DIC/HOBt/DCM) were found to be equally useful with Perloza. Peptides were cleaved using TFA plus scavengers; however, the TFA-swollen resin was not readily separated from the TFA/peptide solution by simple filtration. Therefore alternative cleavage workup procedures were used with Perloza. Peptides were purified by HPLC and characterised by HPLC and amino acid analysis, and in some cases by FAB-MS. Successful syntheses ranged from 5 to 34 amino acids in length. Some of the peptides were also synthesized using a polystyrene support and standardised (ABI Fastmoc) SPPS protocols. The crude cleaved peptides from each synthesis were compared by HPLC analysis. The overall aim of our work with Perloza is synthesis of resin-bound peptide ligands for affinity chromatography and antibody generation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
