Abstract

An X-ray diffraction analysis of the [Fmoc0,TOAC4,8, Leu-OMe11] analogue of thelipopeptaibol antibiotic trichogin A IV shows that the undecapeptide isfolded in a right-handed, mixed α/310-helix. The helicalmolecules are connected in a head-to-tail arrangement along the b-axisthrough C=O···H-N intermolecular H-bonding. Thispacking mode generates a hydrophobic cavity where the FmocNα-protecting groups are accommodated. The distances andangles between the nitroxide groups of the two TOAC residues, separated byone turn of the α-helix, have been determined.
