Conformational Analysis of Tripeptide Models: The Influence of α,α-disubstituted α-Amino Acids on the Secondary Structure. X-Ray Analysis and Conformational Energy CalculationsThe X-ray analysis of tripeptide Z-Ile-Val(2-Me)-benzocaine (1f) reveals the presence of a type-III β-turn. Moreover, MMP2 calculations on tripeptides, e.g. Z-Ile-Aib-benzocaine (1c), Z-Ile-D-Val(2-Me)-benzocaine (1g), Z-Ile-Gly(2,2-Pr2)-benzocaine (1h), Z-Ile-Gly-benzocaine (1a), and 1f, fit well into the frame of NMR and CD investigations. They allow considerations on the relative stability of different types of β-turns depending on the peptide sequence, e.g. the kind of α,α-disubstituted amino-acid moieties.
