Abstract
New peptidomimetics containing the Tic moiety were synthesized in enantiomerically pure form and their conformational features were studied by NMR, IR, and molecular modeling techniques. The presence of a reverse turn conformation was observed in all the structures, suggesting the key role of the scaffold as reverse turn inducer. In particular, all the analyses led to the conclusion that a β-turn conformation is mostly stabilized in tetrapeptide mimetic 4b and in hexapeptide mimetics 5a,b. In the case of 5a,b, the C1 stereochemistry plays a central role in determining stable conformations, supporting the formation of a β-hairpin arrangement with a 14-membered intramolecular hydrogen bond ring only in 5b.Pubblicazioni consigliate
