Abstract
Many neuropeptides exert their action between the presynaptic vesicles and postsynaptic transmembrane receptors, crossing different layers of specialized cytoplasm. Biomimetic media usually employed to study bioactive peptides do not reproduce the physico chemical environment of cytoplasm--in particular, the high viscosity of this biological fluid. Here we describe a conformational study of a delta-selective opioid peptide, deltorphin I, at variable temperatures in several biocompatible media characterized by varying values of viscosity and dielectric constant. It was found that only viscosity, among these parameters, induces ordered conformations; that is, it acts as a conformational sieve. This finding suggests that the high viscosity of the intersynaptic fluid contributes, in addition to the membrane catalysis proposed by Schwyzer, in overcoming the so-called entropic barrier to the transition state of peptide-receptor interaction by selecting ordered conformations prior to receptor interaction. The folded conformer found in the 80:20 (v:v) DMSOd6/H2O cryoprotective mixture at 265 K has a shape consistent with those of rigid nonpeptidic opiates.

Abstract
The conformation of [Leu5]enkephalin has been studied by 1H-NMR spectroscopy in media more like the actual environment in which the agonist-receptor interaction takes place than water, i.e. in three cryoprotective mixtures (dimethylformamide/water, methanol/water and ethylene glycol/water), in aqueous SDS and in two neat solvents, dimethylformamide and acetonitrile, whose dielectric constants (36.7 and 37.5) are intermediate between that of water and that of the lipid phase. In all cases examined, contrary to the studies in water or dimethylsulfoxide, we were able to detect numerous nuclear Overhauser effects, indicating that the media employed favour well-defined structures and/or reduce the internal motions of the peptide. Data from both organic solvents and cryoprotective mixtures suggest a 4----1 beta turn as the most probable structure of [Leu5]enkephalin in solution, whereas in SDS/H2O micelles the structural picture appears completely different, suggesting the presence of a 5----2 beta turn. The existence of two different preferred conformations of enkephalins may possibly be related to their ability to be effective towards both mu and delta opioid receptors.

Abstract
17O- and 14N-nmr chemical shifts and line widths of the carboxyl and amino terminal groups of Leu-enkephalin--Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-[17O]Leu-Oh--and enkephalin-related fragments--[17O]Leu-OH, Phe-[17O]Leu-OH, Gly-Phe-[17O]Leu-OH, and Gly-Gly-Phe-[17O]Leu-OH--were measured in aqueous solution over the entire H pH range. Enrichment in 17O was achieved by saponification of the corresponding O-methyl esters. Ionization constants and titration shifts were obtained by nonlinear least-squares fits to one-proton titration curves. [17O]Leu-OH exhibits a profound pH-dependent solvation change on deprotonation of the carboxyl group, as shown by 17O- and 14N-nmr line widths. In contrast, the peptides studied do not exhibit pH-dependent conformational (solvation) changes on deprotonation of the carboxyl group, and a head-to-tail intramolecular association between the ionic terminal groups should be excluded. It is shown that the peptides do not exhibit isotropic overall molecular motion and that segmental motion rather than fast internal motion influences the effective correlation times at the sites of the carboxyl oxygens and the amino nitrogen.

Abstract
The synthesis of Leu-enkephalin selectively 17O-enriched in Gly2 and Gly3 is reported. The 17O-nmr chemical shifts of [17O-Gly2, Leu5]- and [17O-Gly3, Leu5]-enkephalins in H2O are almost identical and independent of the pH. Since hydrogen bonding is the dominant factor governing the chemical shifts of the peptide oxygen, it can be concluded that the hydration state of both oxygens is identical and independent of the pH. The 17O chemical shifts of the [17O-Leu5]-enkephalin terminal carboxyl group at pH approximately 1.9 and 5.6 are very different in H2O but very similar in CH3CN/DMSO (4:1) solution. This suggests that the protonation state of the carboxyl group at both pH values in CH3CN/DMSO solution is the same and consequently that Leu-enkephalin exists in the neutral form at pH approximately 5.6. In this organic mixed solvent system both Gly2 and Gly3 oxygen resonances exhibit a significant shift to high frequency by the same extent (delta delta approximately 30 ppm). It is concluded that both peptide oxygens are not hydrogen bonded to an appreciable extent and that no specific 2----5 hydrogen bonding exists to an appreciable extent. This conclusion is in agreement with the energy of activation for molecular rotation, as determined from T1 measurements, which was found to be almost identical for both [17O-Gly2, Leu5]- and [17O-Gly3, Leu5]-enkephalins in CH3CN/DMSO (4:1) mixed solvent.

Abstract
Met5-enkephalin was studied in 1 mM solutions in 2H2O at room temperature and in a cryoprotective mixture (DMSOd6/2H2O, mole fraction of DMSO 0.49) in the temperature range 265-298 K. Small positive effects were observed between the ortho and meta protons of Tyr in aqueous solution at room temperature. Intraresidue effects can be made strong and negative by increasing the viscosity of the medium with a combination of cryoprotective mixtures and low temperatures. The use of mixtures with properties very close to water is very promising for conformational studies of enkephalins and of other small linear peptides.

Abstract
Three analogues of leucine enkephalin, in which the terminal tyrosine-1 residue has been replaced by conformationally restrained aromatic amino acids, have been synthesized by classical solution methods. Their opiate agonist potencies on electrically stimulated guinea pig ileum and mouse vas deferens preparations were determined and compared with morphine, Met enkephalin, and Leu enkephalin. None of these analogues had analgesic properties when evaluated on the above tissue preparations or when evaluated by the hot-plate test in mice after subcutaneous and intracerebroventricular administration.

Abstract
The conformational energy for the pentapeptide Arg-Lys-Asp-Val-Tyr (TP5) is calculated using empirical potential functions. Calculation of the local interactions for each independent residue gives a local energy term for which the probabilities as a function of phi, psi are plotted on Ramachandran-type maps. The interaction energy between residues is calculated only for these points in the maps with maximum probability. The most probable conformation for TP5 is found to have an extended backbone arrangement having the Arg and Tyr sidechains folded over the backbone. 13C n.m.r. spin lattice relaxation time measurements show no increase in T1 of the alpha-carbons at the first and terminal amino acids. The increase in T1 along the sidechain as found for Lys does not occur for Arg and Tyr. These signs of reduced mobility are consistent with a set of folded conformations in which the Arg and Tyr sidechains have hindered internal rotations. The vicinal NH-C alpha H couplings agree well with those calculated for the most probable conformer. This is not so for the C alpha H-C beta H couplings. These data are consistent with previous n.m.r. and structure activity studies.

Abstract
1H spectra at 270 MHz of zwitterionic Met-enkephalin pentapeptide (Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Met) in (C2H3)2SO/water mixtures are reported and discussed in terms of solvent-induced conformational transitions. The analysis of the chemical shifts, line widths, coupling constants and rotamer populations around chi 1 and chi 2 suggests that the conformational properties of Met-enkephalin in the two solvents are quite different. In aqueous solution, the preferred structure, characterized by the absence of intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded NH groups and head-to-tail interactions, very likely is an equilibrium of unfolded conformations with approximately equal energy. In (C2H3)2SO, the preferred structure is folded, with the Met-5 NH intramolecularly bonded and the Gly-3 NH protected from the solvent, while the Gly-2 and Phe-4 amide protons are solvent exposed. A conformational transition of Met-enkephalin from the intramolecularly bonded to the unbonded one takes place at about 40 mol-% water in (C2H3)2SO, involving the Met-5 NH proton and the Tyr-Gly-Gly fragment. The Phe-4 and Met-5 phi angles do not change appreciably, which suggest that an inversion at the Gly-3 residue of the folded form, responsible for the conformational transition, does not affect the C-terminal moiety. At about 70 mol-% water in (C2H3)2SO a change in the solvent mixture properties affects the chi 1 rotamer populations and the ring dynamics of the aromatic side chains. The line broadening of the Tyr-1 delta and epsilon proton resonances indicates a specific interaction of the N-terminal ring with the solvent.

Abstract
The nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) leads to changes in the intensity of signal(s) of a set of nuclei as a function of their respective distances. The use of NOE allows to obtain structural informations on peptides and proteins in solution as well as the study of interactions between small ligands and biomolecules. In this review, aspects of the basic theory of the NOE will be presented and the more recent applications of homonuclear and heteronuclear NOE's in biomolecules will be surveyed. Typical examples will be illustrated and limitations of the method will be discussed.

Abstract
13C n.m.r. and thin-layer chromatography were used to monitor the degradation of methionine-enkephalinamide in the presence of neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid cells (NG 108-15) and membranes. Puromycin and trypsin treatment failed to protect enkephalinamide from degradation over long periods of time (up to 24 hours). The major degradation products of [3[2-13C]glycine] methionine-enkephalinamide observed by 13 C n.m.r. showed glycine-3 in a non-terminal position, an N-terminal position and free glycine. A minor component showed glycine-3 in a C-terminal position.

Abstract
The evidence that reverse turns frequently occur as structural components of proteins, as well as of linear and cyclic peptides, is overwhelming. This review summarizes and examines critically the experimental evidence derived from physical methods such as 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, spin-lattice relaxation time, circular dichroism, IR spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. Secondly, theoretical evidence obtained from energy calculations, which rely on empirical energy functions, and correlative methods, which rely on algorithms based on the frequency of occurrence of amino acids, is evaluated. In particular, those theoretical studies for which complementary physical studies have been completed are emphasized. Finally, examples of structure-function relationships involving reverse turns and their biological recognition are demonstrated.

Abstract
The 270-MHz 1H and 68-MHz 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of Met-enkephalin (Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Met) and Met-enkephalinamide are analyzed in a variety of solvents. For the dipolar form of Met-enkephalin in (C2H3)2SO solution, significant concentration dependences are found of C-alpha proton chemical shifts, indicating an aromatic ring-current effect in molecular aggregates. An anomalous temperature dependence is observed of the amide proton chemical shift of the Met-5 residue. Furthermore, the chemical shifts of C-alpha protons of the dipolar form are found to depend appreciably on temperature. From the analyses of the temperature dependences together with concentration dependences of C-alpha proton resonances, the dipolar form of Met-enkephalin is found to be in an equilibrium of folded and extended conformations at low concentration in (C2H3)2SO solution. Solvent-composition dependences of the amide and C-alpha proton resonances and carbonyl and alpha-carbon resonances of the dipolar form in 2H2O/(C2H3)2SO solution are consistent with the conformation equilibrium and the association equilibrium. The folded conformation of the dipolar form in (C2H3)2SO solution is stabilized by the intramolecular attraction between the positively charged N-terminal group and negatively charged C-terminal group. The presence of the folded conformation is confirmed by the measurements of Gd(III)-induced relaxation enhancements of C-alpha protons. Nuclear Overhauser effects on the dipolar form are not consistent with the predominant formation of the beta-turn structure with the intramolecular hydrogen bond (Gly-2) C=O . H-N(Met-5). For the dipolar form of Met-enkephalin in 2H2O solution and for the cationic form of Met-enkephalinamide in (C2H3)2SO solution and in 2H2O solution there is no evidence for the formation of folded conformations.

Abstract
[Met5]-Enkephalin and N-acetylphenylalanine methylamide containing (2S,3S)-[2,3-2H2]Phe were synthesized 270 MHz 1H NMR spectra of the normal and selectively deuterated species were analysed. The lower-field and higher-field beta-proton signals of the Phe4 residue of [Met5]-enkephalin were unambiguously assigned to the pro-S and pro-R protons, respectively. The same assignments apply to N-acetylphenylalanine methylamide in polar organic solvents and in 2H2O, but the alternative assignments apply in C2HCl3. For [Met5]-enkephalin, the vicinal spin coupling constants 3JalphabetaS and 3 JalphabetaR and the rotamer populations around the Calpha-Cbeta bond were determined in a variety of solvents. From the pH and temperature dependences of rotamer populations of [Met5]-enkephalin, the side-chain conformation of the Phe residue in 2H2O solution was found to be considerably different from that in (C2H3)2SO solution. Rotamer populations of the Phe4 residue of [Met5]-enkephalin in organic solvents depend on solvent polarity. As compared with the reference model molecule of N-acetylphenylalanine methylamide, the rotamer populations of Phe4 of [Met5]-enkephalin are affected possibly by steric repulsion with other residues; the rotamer I is primarily favored but the rotamer II is appreciably destabilized in weakly polar solvents.
