Journal ArticleDOI

Parallel and antiparallel aggregation of alpha-helices. Crystal structures of two apolar decapeptides X-Trp-Ile-Ala-Aib-Ile-Val-Aib-Leu-Aib-Pro-OMe (X = Boc, Ac).

TL;DR: The structures do not provide a ready rationalization of packing preference in terms of side-chain interactions and do not support a major role for helix dipole interactions in determining helix orientation in crystals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Infrared spectroscopic study of C7 intramolecular hydrogen bonds in peptides

TL;DR: It is shown that Z‐Aib‐AIB‐OMe and Z‐ aib‐Ala‐OMes form C7 intramolecular hydrogen bonds in addition to C5 intramolescular hydrogen Bonds, and that all the peptides studied exist in more than one conformation in solution.
Journal ArticleDOI

A designed three-stranded β-sheet in an α/β hybrid peptide.

TL;DR: The incorporation of β-amino acid residues into the antiparallel β-strand segments of a multi-stranded β-sheet peptide is demonstrated for a 19-residue peptide, supporting the occurrence of conformational interconversion at the turn segments in these hairpin and sheet structures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid mass spectrometric determination of disulfide connectivity in peptides and proteins

TL;DR: The method, coupled with DisConnect, provides an unambiguous, straightforward approach, especially useful for the rapid screening of the disulfide crosslink fidelity in recombinant proteins, determination of disulfides linkages in natural peptide toxins and characterization of folding intermediates encountered in oxidative folding pathways.
