✦ Synopsis
The conformational preferences of the alicyclic C","-disubstituted glycines Ac,c (I-amino-I-cycloalkane-carboxylic acid; n = 4 , 7, 9, 1 2 ) were assessed in selected model compounds, including homopeptides and Ala (or Aib, a-aminoisobutyric acid)lAc,c peptides containing a small total number of residues, by Fourier transform ir absorption, 'H-nmr, and x-ray diffraction analyses. The results obtained indicate that p-turn and 310-helical structures are preferentially adopted by short peptides rich in these cycloaliphatic a-amino acids.

The lipophilic, chiral, C h -methylated h-amino acid L-(h Me)Aoc (2-methyl-2-amino-octanoic acid) was prepared using a chemo-enzymatic approach. Two series of terminally protected model peptides, from dimer through to hexamer, containing L-(h Me)Aoc in combination with either Gly or Aib, were synthe
