## Synopsis Leucine-enkephalin (Try1-Gly2-Gly3-Phe4-Leu5) has been crytallized as a trihydrate from water solution. X-ray diffraction reveals a tightly folded molecular conformation with two fused BIII-(Gly2-Gly3) and BI-(Gly3-Phe4) turns. The Tyr' and Phe4 aromatic rings have a close orthogonal a
## Abstract Empirical conformational energy calculations have been carried out on the molecule retroβallβDβmethionine enkephalin. Lowβenergy conformers were found by energy minimization and conformational search procedures. The lowest energy conformers wee found toi have some stereochemical relatio
Solution pH is a determinant parameter on protein function and stability, and its inclusion in molecular dynamics simulations is attractive for studies at the molecular level. Current molecular dynamics simulations can consider pH only in a very limited way, through a somewhat arbitrary choice of a
A systematic survey has been made, using molecular mechanics, of the conformation of cycle(-NY-Mabu-Gly-Ala-Ala-), where Mabu is (R)-a-methyl-y-arninobutyric acid. This molecule corresponds to the 14-membered ring of the conformationally restricted, biologically active, Leu-enkephalin analog, Tyr-~~
