Abstract
The present study describes the solid-state conformation of αβ hybrid peptides, Boc-Leu-β3, 3 -Ac6 c-OH, P1; Boc-Leu-β3, 3 -Ac6 c-Leu-β3, 3 -Ac6 c-OMe, P2; and Boc-Leu-β3, 3 -Ac6 c-Leu-β3, 3 -Ac6 c-Leu-OMe, P3. The dipeptide P1 adopts extended conformations, whereas tetrapeptide P2 and pentapeptide P3 favor a helical conformation stabilized by mixed types of C11 /C9 intramolecular hydrogen bonds. In peptide P3, the amino group of β3, 3 -Ac6 c(2) and β3, 3 -Ac6 c(4) residues occupies axial orientation, whereas in P2 it occupies axial and equatorial orientations for residues β3, 3 -Ac6 c(2) and β3, 3 -Ac6 c(4), respectively. The self-assembly of P3 forms channels filled with solvent molecules that present interesting patterns.
