Abstract

The calculation of the conformational energy of the terminal D‐ or L‐alanine residue contiguous to an α‐helical polypeptide, polyalanine, was made. Both L‐and D‐residues contiguous to the carboxyl terminal of α‐helical poly(L‐alanine) are considered to prefer the α‐helical conformation due to the effect of the α‐helical structure of the polymer. The residue at the amino terminal is found to be less affected by the α‐helical structure of the polymer.

The conformational freedom of amino acid side chains is strongly reduced when the side chains occur on an a-helix. A quantitative evaluation of this freedom has been carried out by means of conformational energy computations for all naturally occurring amino acids and for a-aminobutyric acid when th

Homooligopeptides containing a,a-diethylgycine ( 2-amino-2-ethylbutanoic acid), were synthesized by conventional solution methods. An ethyl or methyl ester was used as protecting group at the C-terminus and a trifluoroacetyl group as protecting group at the N-terminus of the peptides. The conformati
