Herein we report the 1.15 A X-ray crystal structure of a short alpha-helix in which the N-terminal i and i + 4 main chain hydrogen bond is replaced with a carbon-carbon bond. The structure shows that the hydrogen-bond surrogate (HBS) derived alpha-helix truly resembles the structure of canonical alpha-helices and provides unequivocal support for our helix nucleation strategy.
在此,我们报道了一种短α-螺旋的1.15埃X射线晶体结构,其中N端i和i + 4主链氢键被碳-碳键取代。该结构表明,源自氢键替代物(HBS)的α-螺旋与典型α-螺旋的结构极为相似,并为我们的螺旋成核策略提供了明确支持。
