Spectroscopic studies on synthetic polypeptides containing the unit-X-G-G (X=V or L) are reported. The sequences, constituting either fragments or model of elastin, were shown to adopt type II beta-turns together with an ensemble of unordered conformations. Furthermore, it was found that the stability of the beta-turns was depending on the nature of the X residue, on the hydration of the chain and, in the case of the sequence G-V-G-G-L, was decreasing by increasing the length of the chain.
报道了对含有单元-X-G-G(X = V或L)的合成多肽的光谱研究。构成弹性蛋白片段或模型的序列显示出采用II型β-转角以及无序构象的集合。此外,发现β-转角的稳定性取决于X残基的性质、链的水合作用,并且对于序列G-V-G-G-L而言,会随着链长度的增加而降低。
