The molecular conformation of achatin-II neutral form (H-Gly-Phe-Ala-Asp-OH), an endogenous peptide from the Achatina fulica ganglia, was elucidated by X-ray crystal analysis. The molecule takes an extended beta-pleated structure stabilized by 5 intermolecular hydrogen bonds with the antiparallely arranged molecules. This is in contrast with the turn conformation of a neuroactive achatin-I (H-Gly-D-Phe-Ala-Asp-OH) [(1992) FEBS Lett. 276,95-97]. The conformational comparison of both of the molecules makes clear the structural role which D-Phe residue of achatin-I plays in forming a definite active form.
通过X射线晶体分析阐明了来自褐云玛瑙螺神经节的内源性肽——玛瑙螺毒素II中性形式(H-Gly-Phe-Ala-Asp-OH)的分子构象。该分子呈伸展的β-折叠结构,通过与反平行排列分子形成的5个分子间氢键得以稳定。这与具有神经活性的玛瑙螺毒素I(H-Gly-D-Phe-Ala-Asp-OH)的转角构象形成对比[(1992年)《欧洲生物化学学会联合会快报》276, 95 - 97]。对这两种分子的构象比较明确了玛瑙螺毒素I的D-苯丙氨酸残基在形成特定活性形式中所起的结构作用。
