An analysis of the conformational properties of parallel beta-pleated sheets suggests that an important factor in the generation of beta-sheet twist is the preference for nonplanar peptide bond distortions that impart local left-handed helical character to polypeptide chains. It is demonstrated that the introduction of such chiral distortions, which result from the tetrahedral deformation of the peptide nitrogen atoms, naturally produces right-twisted beta-sheet structures with optimal hydrogen bond geometry.
对平行β折叠片层构象性质的分析表明,β折叠片层扭曲产生的一个重要因素是对非平面肽键扭曲的偏好,这种扭曲赋予多肽链局部左手螺旋特征。结果表明,由肽氮原子的四面体变形引起的这种手性扭曲的引入,自然会产生具有最佳氢键几何结构的右旋β折叠片层结构。
