Previous studies by Gellman and co-workers have elegantly shown that mirror-image β-turns based upond-Pro-Gly are especially good at stabilizing β-hairpins and have demonstrated that peptide1[Arg-Trp-Gln-Tyr-Val-d-Pro-Gly-Lys-Phe-Thr-Val-Gln-NH2] folds into a well-defined β-hairpin [Espinosa, J. F.; Gellman, S. H.Angew. Chem., Int. Ed.2000,39, 2330−2333]. The present study establishes that the amino acid ornithine (Orn) also forms a turn structure that is excellent at stabilizing β-hairpins when linked through the δ-amino group and that this turn is comparable tod-Pro-Gly in ability to induce β-hairpin formation. Thus,1H NMR chemical shift and NOE studies establish that Orn-containing analogue2[Arg-Trp-Gln-Tyr-Val-δOrn-Lys-Phe-Thr-Val-Gln-NH2] is comparable in structure to peptide1. The present study also establishes that the Orn turn is superior to Asn-Gly turns and that replacement of theδOrn withεLys ord-δOrn generates structures that do not fold significantly.
