Cyclic pentapeptides are not known to exist in alpha-helical conformations. CD and NMR spectra show that specific 20-membered cyclic pentapeptides, Ac-(cyclo-1,5) [KxxxD]-NH(2) and Ac-(cyclo-2,6)-R[KxxxD]-NH(2), are highly alpha-helical structures in water and independent of concentration, TFE, denaturants, and proteases. These are the smallest alpha-helical peptides in water.
已知环状五肽不存在α-螺旋构象。圆二色光谱(CD)和核磁共振光谱(NMR)表明,特定的20元环状五肽,即Ac-(环-1,5)[KxxxD]-NH₂和Ac-(环-2,6)-R[KxxxD]-NH₂,在水中呈高度α-螺旋结构,且与浓度、三氟乙醇(TFE)、变性剂和蛋白酶无关。这些是水中最小的α-螺旋肽。
