Abstract

The tetrapeptide Boc- L-Glu-Ala-Leu-LysNHMe ( 1) reveals a random coil conformation, based on its Glu(γ) and Lys(ɛ) methylene proton aniosotropic shift, GluNH chemical shift, NOEs in chloroform-DMSO (6:1), and its amide proton temperature coefficients in DMSO, while on similar considerations, the diastereomer Boc- D-Glu-Ala-Leu-LysNHMe ( 2) is characterized as a highly ordered 3/10 type distorted protohelix with a remarkably stable intramolecular salt bridge under these solvent conditions.
