We have previously demonstrated that a 23-amino acid peptide derived from the V3 loop of the surface glycoprotein of the HIV-1 strain MN is able to bind CD4 and to enhance HIV-1 infection. Further studies have suggested that the peptide/CD4 interaction induces an increase in both CD4 expression and
## Abstract A series of analogues of efrapeptinβ C (**1**), with variations in the central tripeptide epitope (positions 6β8), were prepared by a combination of solidβ and solutionβphase peptide syntheses. The conformations of the modified compounds **2**β**6** were investigated by circularβdichrois
Conformational studies on synthetic repetitive sequences and analogues of elastin are described. C D and nmr measurements gave evidence of flexible ,&turns as the dominant structural feature whose stability was found t o decrease by increasing the number of repetitivc units. The sequences comprised
