In recent years, b-hairpin peptides have been studied in great detail. Much of the focus has been on the thermodynamic stability of b-hairpin structure. Structural measurements have been conducted with nuclear magnetic resonance, with additional information obtained from circular dichroism, Fourier

## Abstract Reverse turns are a major class of protein secondary structure; they represent sites of chain reversal and thus sites where the globular character of a protein is created. It has been speculated for many years that turns may nucleate the formation of structure in protein folding, as the
## Abstract The structural properties of a 10‐residue and a 15‐residue peptide in aqueous solution were investigated by molecular dynamics simulation. The two designed peptides, SYINSDGTWT and SESYINSDGTWTVTE, had been studied previously by NMR at 278 K and the resulting model structures were class
## Abstract To investigate the effect of peptide secondary structure on proteolytic resistance, we have synthesized a series of peptides based on a well‐folded β‐hairpin, WKWK. Mutations were made within the peptide which either decreased or increased the propensity to form β‐hairpin structures and
