One chiral L-valine (L-Val) was inserted into the C-terminal position of achiral peptide segments constructed from alpha-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib) and alpha,beta-dehydrophenylalanine (Delta(z)Phe) residues. The IR, (1)H NMR and CD spectra indicated that the dominant conformations of the pentapeptide Boc-Aib-Delta Phe-(Aib)(2)-L-Val-NH-Bn (3) and the hexapeptide Boc-Aib-Delta Phe-(Aib)(3)-L-Val-NH-Bn (4) in solution were both right-handed (P) 3(10)-helical structures. X-ray crystallographic analyses of 3 and 4 revealed that only a right-handed (P) 3(10)-helical structure was present in their crystalline states. The conformation of 4 was also studied by molecular-mechanics calculations. Copyright (C) 2010 European Peptide Society and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
