Several useful procedures in the amino acid sequence analysis of polypeptides depend upon chemical reactions of the terminal a-amino group. Blockage of this group because of an amino-terminal pyroglutamyl residue is, therefore, a severe hindrance to the structural study of a polypeptide or protein.
## Abstract __N__βterminal modification of peptides by unnatural amino acids significantly affects their enzymatic stability, conformational properties and biological activity. Application of __N__βamidinoβamino acids, positively charged under physiological conditions, can change peptide conformati
