Abstract
An opioid (leucine-enkephalin) conformational analogue forms diverse nanostructures such as vesicles, tubes, and organogels through self-assembly. The nanovesicles encapsulate the natural hydrophobic drug curcumin and allow the controlled release through cation-generated porogens in membrane mimetic solvent.

Abstract
The intrinsic conformational preferences of the restricted phenylalanine analogue generated by including the alpha and beta carbon atoms into a cyclohexane ring (1-amino-2-phenylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid, c(6)Phe) have been determined using quantum mechanical calculations. Specifically, the conformational profile of the N-acetyl-N'-methylamide derivative of the c(6)Phe stereoisomers exhibiting either a cis or a trans relative orientation between the amino and phenyl substituents has been analyzed in different environments (gas phase, chloroform, and aqueous solutions). Calculations were performed using B3LYP, MP2, and HF methods combined with the 6-31+G(d,p) and 6-311++G(d,p) basis sets, and a self-consistent reaction-field (SCRF) method was applied to analyze the influence of the solvent. The amino acids investigated can be viewed as constrained phenylalanine analogues with a rigidly oriented aromatic side chain that may interact with the peptide backbone not only sterically but also electronically through the aromatic pi orbitals. Their conformational propensities have been found to be strongly influenced by the specific orientation of the aromatic substituent in each stereoisomer and the conformation adopted by the cyclohexane ring, as well as by the environment.

Abstract
The intrinsic conformational preferences of the nonproteinogenic amino acids constructed by incorporating the arginine side chain in the beta position of 1-aminocyclopentane-1-carboxylic acid (either in a cis or a trans orientation relative to the amino group) have been investigated by using computational methods. These compounds may be considered as constrained analogues of arginine (denoted as c(5)Arg) in which the orientation of the side chain is fixed by the cyclopentane moiety. Specifically, the N-acetyl-N'-methylamide derivatives of cis- and trans-c(5)Arg have been examined in the gas phase and in solution by using B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) calculations and Molecular Dynamics simulations. Results indicate that the conformational space available to these compounds is highly restricted, their conformational preferences being dictated by the ability of the guanidinium group in the side chain to establish hydrogen bond interactions with the backbone. A comparison with the behavior previously described for the analogous phenylalanine derivatives is presented.

Abstract
DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level have been used to investigate the intrinsic conformational preferences of 1-amino-2-phenylcyclopentane-1-carboxylic acid (c5Phe), a constrained analogue of phenylalanine in which the alpha and beta carbons are included in a cyclopentane ring. Specifically, the N-acetyl-N'-methylamide derivatives of the cis and trans stereoisomers, where cis and trans refer to the relative position between the amino group and the phenyl ring, have been calculated. Solvent effects have been examined using a self-consistent reaction field (SCRF) method. Results indicate that the conformational space of the cis stereoisomer is much more restricted than that of the trans derivative both in the gas phase and in solution.
