Abstract

The effect of pH on complex formation between β‐CD and the enantiomers of the dipeptides Ala‐Phe, Ala‐Tyr and Asp‐PheOMe was investigated at 298.15 K by CE and calorimetry. β‐CD displayed a higher enantioselectivity toward the protonated peptides compared to their zwitterionic forms. While stronger binding of the dd‐enantiomers than the ll‐stereoisomers were found by calorimetry regardless of the ionization state of the peptides, essentially equal complexation constants of the enantiomers were determined by CE for the zwitterionic species of the peptides. The reversal of the enantiomer migration order observed in CE was attributed primarily to a stereoselective complexation‐induced p__K__~a~ shift. In calorimetry, complexation of the protonated dd‐enantiomers by β‐CD was accompanied by higher enthalpy and entropy changes resulting in more stable complexes compared to the ll‐peptides. The enthalpy and entropy of complexation was affected by pH and peptide structure.
