[structure: see text]. A series of water-soluble synthetic dipeptides (1-3) with an N-terminally located beta-alanine residue, beta-alanyl-l-valine (1), beta-alanyl-l-isoleucine (2), and beta-alanyl-l-phenylalanine (3), form hydrogen-bonded supramolecular double helices with a pitch length of 1 nm, whereas the C-terminally positioned beta-alanine containing dipeptide (4), l-phenylalanyl-beta-alanine, does not form a supramolecular double helical structure. beta-Ala-Xaa (Xaa = Val/Ile/Phe) can be regarded as a new motif for the formation of supramolecular double helical structures in the solid state.
[结构:见正文]。一系列N端带有β-丙氨酸残基的水溶性合成二肽(1-3),β-丙氨酰-L-缬氨酸(1)、β-丙氨酰-L-异亮氨酸(2)和β-丙氨酰-L-苯丙氨酸(3),形成了螺距为1 nm的氢键超分子双螺旋结构,而C端含β-丙氨酸的二肽(4),L-苯丙氨酰-β-丙氨酸,则不形成超分子双螺旋结构。β-Ala-Xaa(Xaa = Val/Ile/Phe)可被视为固态下形成超分子双螺旋结构的新基序。
