Although the conformations of two linked peptide units both with glycyl and alanyl residues have been extensively studied,'-$ no systematic investigation of the energies of conformations of two linked peptide units with side chains beyond the CB atom and a comparison with the available crystallograp

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
Using the host-guest technique, tentative scales for the helix-inducing power and the (3-structure-forming potential of various side-chain protected amino acid residues in trifluoroethanol are established mainly by CD measurements. The generally lower tendency for (3-structure formation of the host-
Semiempirical AM1 calculations were carried out for quantum-chemically optimized minimum energy conformations of peptides (Ala) 4 -X-(Ala) 4 , where X stands for different L-β£amino acids (Ala,
A novel type of conformationally restricted peptides with the structure of H-D-Xaa-Phe-NH-CH 2 -C 6 H 5 has been developed as inhibitors of serine proteinase chymotrypsin. The D-Xaa-alkyl and Phe-phenyl groups resulted in a formation of the hydrophobic core due to the side-chain-side-chain CH/ inter
