A computergraphic determination of the chemotactic peptide preferred conformation.

Abstract:

:Replacement of leucine in the chemotactic peptide For-Met-Leu-Phe by the sterically constrained amino acids alpha-aminoisobutyric acid and aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid affords compounds of equal or greater activity than the parent. NMR studies indicate that the parent compound is present as a beta-sheet in solution, whereas the analogues prefer a beta-turn. Application of molecular modelling would indicate that the beta-turn conformer is energetically preferable and thus suggests that it is the orientation adopted by the peptides.
