m-Aminobenzoic acid inserted β-turn in acyclic tripeptides: a peptidomimetic design

Add time:09/03/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

X-ray diffraction studies show that peptides Boc-Leu-Aib-m-ABA-OMe (I) (Aib, α-aminoisobutyric acid; m-ABA, meta-aminobenzoic acid) and Boc-Phe-Aib-m-ABA-OMe (II) adopt a type-II β-turn conformation, solely stabilized by co-operative steric interactions amongst the amino acid residues. This type of β-turn without any intramolecular hydrogen bonding is generally referred to as an open turn. Although there are some examples of constrained cyclic peptides in which o-substituted benzenes have been inserted to mimic the turn region of the neurotrophin, a nerve growth factor, peptides I and II present novel two examples where m-aminobenzoic acid has been incorporated in the β-turn of acyclic tripeptides. The result also demonstrates the first crystallographic evidence of a β-turn structure containing an inserted m-aminobenzoic acid, which can be considered as a rigid γ-aminobutyric acid with an all-trans extended configuration.
