    Notes: The antimicrobial activity of vancomycin and related glycopeptide antibiotics is due to stereospecific recognition of polypeptide components in bacterial cell walls. To better understand how these antibiotics recognize polypeptide determinants, we have developed dynamic models of the complexes formed by the vancomycin aglycon and two different dipeptide ligands, Ac-D-ala-D-ala and Ac-D-ala-gly. Molecular dynamics simulations of the two complexes, initially conditioned with distance constraints derived from two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies, are conformationally stable and propagate in a manner consistent with the NMR-derived constraints after the constraints are removed. Free energy calculations accurately predict the relative binding affinity of these two complexes and help validate the simulation models for detailed structural analysis. Although the two ligands adopt similar conformations when bound to the antibiotic, there are clear differences in the configuration of intermolecular hydrogen bonds, the overall shape of the antibiotic, and other structural features of the two complexes. This analysis illustrates how complex structural and dynamic factors interrelate and contribute to differences in binding affinity. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The evaluation of peptide structures in solution is made feasible by the combined use of two-dimensional NMR in the laboratory (NOESY) and rotating frames (ROESY), and by the use of molecular dynamics calculations. The present paper describes how both the NMR method and molecular dynamics calculations were applied to very rigid synthetic bicyclic peptides that are analogues of natural amatoxins. The NMR theory, which allows the estimate of interatomic distances between interacting nuclei, is briefly discussed. The experimental data were compared with those of known solid-state structures. Three amatoxin analogues have been examined. Of these, one is biologically active (S-deoxo γ[R] OH-Ile3-amaninamide) and its structure in the solid state has recently been worked out. The second and third analogues (S-deoxo-Ile3 -Ala5-amaninamide and S-deoxo-D-Ile3 -amaninamide, respectively) are inactive and their solid-state structures are unknown. The data presented confirm the authors' previous hypothesis that lack of biological activity of S-deoxo-Ile3-Ala5- amaninamide is due to the masking of the tryptophan ring by the methyl group of L-Ala and not to massive conformational changes of the analogue.
