Thermodynamic parameters were determined for complex formation between the Grb2 SH2 domain and tripeptides of the general form Ac-pTyr-Xaa-Asn in which the Xaa residue bears a linear alkyl chain varying in length from 1–5 carbon atoms. Binding affinity increases upon adding a methylene group to the Ala derivative, but further chain extension gives no extra enhancement in potency. The thermodynamic signatures of the ethyl andn-propyl derivatives are virtually identical as are those for then-butyl andn-pentyl analogues. Crystallographic analysis of the complexes reveals a high degree of similarity in the structure of the domain and the bound ligands with the notable exception that there is a gauche interaction in the side chains in the bound conformations of ligands havingn-propyl,n-butyl, andn-pentyl groups. However, eliminating this unfavorable interaction by introducing aZ-double bond into the side chain of then-propyl analogue does not result in an increase in affinity. Increases in the amount of nonpolar surface that is buried upon ligand binding correlate with favorable changes in ΔH°, but these are usually offset by corresponding unfavorable changes in −TΔS°; there is little correlation of ΔCpwith changes in the amount of buried nonpolar surface.
