Conformation and Complexation of a Cyclic Dodecapeptide with Alkaline Earth Metal Ions in Acetonitrile

The cyclic dodecapeptide, cyclo(L-Leu-L-Phe-L-Pro)4, was synthesized, and its conformation and complexation with metal ions in acetonitrile were investigated by c.d. and n.m.r. spectroscopy.Cyclo(L-Leu-L-Phe-L-Pro)4 was found to complex selectively with alkaline earth metal ions.The binding constant of the dodecapeptide with Ba2+ was larger than that of the cyclic hexapeptide, cyclo(L-Leu-L-Phe-L-Pro)2.In the free state, the skeletal conformation of the cyclic dodecapeptide ic non-symmetrical.When complexed with Ba2+, the conformation changes to a C4-symmetrical one having all peptide bonds in a trans configuration and four β-turn structures containing transannular hydrogen bonds.Formation of hydrogen bonds on complexation with the cation accounts for the large binding constant of the cyclic dodecapeptide.
