Intensity variation for the positive far UV CD band was observed for three 'beta-sheet' peptides. In 6% HFIP, an amyloidogenic species (human pancreatic amylin) displays, on standing, an extremely intense 192-nm band which diminishes upon physical agitation. A concurrently formed Tyr sidechain band at 274nm disappears completely with agitation, linking the enhancement of the 192-nm band to the highly ordered stacking of beta-sheets. NMR studies indicate that the beta-states of the three peptides are oligomeric, not beta dimers. A membrane-forming EAK peptide displays NMR peaks due to the low concentration of 'random coil' monomers present in slow equilibrium with beta-oligomers; solutions of a more hydrophobic ELKA peptide, which displays an intense 195-nm band, contain only oligomeric species. NMR studies at 25% HFIP revealed the structural requirements for inhibition of beta-oligomer formation. (C) 1994 Academic Press, Inc.
