The solid-state and solution conformations of the model peptide Boc-Aib-Pro-Pro-NHMe [Boc = tert-butyloxycarbonyl, Aib = .alpha.-aminoisobutyryl] were studied by X-ray diffraction and NMR. The peptide adopts a poly(proline II) conformation in the solid state. Two molecules are observed in the asymmetric unit differing in the geometry (cis/trans) of the urethane group. The molecules are held together in the crystal by a complex network of H-bonds involving 3 molecules of water, which cocrystallize. Dissolution of single crystals at low temperature (.apprx. 233 K) permits NMR observation of the solid-state conformer. In solution, the peptide undergoes a trans-cis isomerization of the Pro-Pro bond. Low-temperature NMR measurements allow the detection of 3 conformational states of the Pro-Pro segment. Both cis'' and trans'' rotational isomers about the C.alpha.-CO (.psi.) bond of Pro-3 are detectable at low temperatures. Theoretical calculations suggest an appreciable activation barrier to .psi. rotation. Temperature and solvent dependence of NH chemical shifts provide evidence for an intramolecular H-bond, involving the NHMe group in the cis Pro-Pro conformer. Energy calculations suggest the possibility of a type VI .beta.-turn conformation stabilized by a 4 .fwdarw. 1 H-bond between the Aib-1 CO and NHMe groups.
