Thermodynamic Scale of β-Amino Acid Residue Propensities for an α-Helix-like Conformation

A thiol-thioester exchange system has been used to measure the propensities of diverse β-amino acid residues to participate in an α-helix-like conformation. These measurements depend on formation of a parallel coiled-coil tertiary structure when two peptide segments become linked by thioester formation. One peptide segment contains a "guest" site that accommodates diverse β residues and is distal to the coiled-coil interface. We find that helix propensity is influenced by side chain placement within the β residue [β3 (side chain adjacent to nitrogen) slightly favored relative to β2 (side chain adjacent to carbonyl)]. The previously recognized helix stabilization resulting from five-membered ring incorporation is quantified. These results are significant because so few quantitative thermodynamic measurements have been reported for α/β-peptide folding.

Incorporating small modifications to peptidic macrocycles can have a major influence on their properties. For instance, N-methylation has been shown to impact permeability. A better understanding of the relationship between permeability and structure is of key importance as peptidic drugs are often associated with unfavorable pharmacokinetic profiles. Starting from a semipeptidic macrocycle backbone composed of a tripeptide tethered head-to-tail with an alkyl linker, we investigated two small changes: peptide-to-peptoid substitution and various methyl placements on the nonpeptidic linker. Implementing these changes in parallel, we created a collection of 36 compounds. Their permeability was then assessed in parallel artificial membrane permeability assay (PAMPA) and Caco-2 assays. Our results show a systematic improvement in permeability associated with one peptoid position in the cycle, while the influence of methyl substitution varies on a case-by-case basis. Using a combination of molecular dynamics simulations and NMR measurements, we offer hypotheses to explain such behavior.
