Abstract
Peptide-like foldamers controlled by normal amide backbone hydrogen bonding have been extensively studied, and their folding patterns largely rely on configurational and conformational constraints induced by the steric properties of backbone substituents at appropriate positions. In contrast, opportunities to influence peptide secondary structure by functional groups forming individual hydrogen bond networks have not received much attention. Here, peptide-like foldamers consisting of alternating α,β,γ-triamino acids 3-amino-4-(aminomethyl)-2-methylpyrrolidine-3-carboxylate (AAMP) and natural amino acids glycine and alanine are reported, which were obtained by solution phase peptide synthesis. They form ordered secondary structures, which are dominated by a three-dimensional bridged triazaspiranoid-like hydrogen bond network involving the non-backbone amino groups, the backbone amide hydrogen bonds, and the relative configuration of the α,β,γ-triamino and α-amino acid building blocks. This additional stabilization leads to folding in both nonpolar organic as well as in aqueous environments. The three-dimensional arrangement of the individual foldamers is supported by X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, chiroptical methods, and molecular dynamics simulations.

Infrared and vibrational circular dichroism spectra of methyl β-D-glucopyranose in water: The application of the quantum cluster growth and clusters-in-a-liquid solvation models. Chirality 2023; 35:718-731. [PMID: 37162747 DOI: 10.1002/chir.23576] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2023] [Revised: 04/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/18/2023] [Indexed: 05/11/2023]
Abstract
The infrared (IR) and vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra of methyl β-D-glucopyranose in water were measured. Both implicit and explicit solvation models were utilized to explain the observed spectra. The vast body of existing experimental and theoretical data suggested that about eight explicit water molecules are needed to account for the solvent effects, supported by the current Quantum Cluster Growth (QCG) analysis. Extensive manual and systematic conformational searches of the molecular target and its water clusters were carried out by using a recently developed conformational searching tool, conformer-rotamer ensemble sampling tool (CREST), and the microsolvation model in the associated QCG code. The Boltzmann averaged IR and VCD spectra of the methyl β-D-glucopyranose-(water)n (n = 8) conformers in the PCM of water provide better agreement with the experimental ones than those with n = 0, 1, and 2. The explicit solvation with eight water molecules was shown to greatly modify the conformational preference of methyl β-D-glucopyranose from its monomeric form. Further analyses show that the result is consistent with the existence of long-lived methyl β-D-glucopyranose monohydrates with the additional explicit water effects being accounted for with the quantum mechanical treatment of the other seven close-by water molecules in the PCM of water.

Abstract
Microcrystals of l-Asn-d-Trp-l-Phe-NH2 (NdWFamide), a tripeptide derived from Aplysia kurodai that exhibits invertebrate cardiac activity, were evaluated by vibrational circular dichroism (VCD). The chirality of the tryptophan residue at the second position in NdWFamide was associated with the conformation and biological characteristics. The VCD spectrum of NdWFamide was a mirror image of its enantiomer; however, it was significantly different from that of its diastereomer, NWFamide, which is its precursor. The obtained VCD signals of NdWFamide were in good agreement with the VCD signals that were calculated based on the optimized aggregates of NdWFamide, which formed a helical-like backbone conformation. The evaluation of the VCD results revealed the conformation of NdWFamide in the crystalline state and succeeded in distinguishing its stereoisomers. Therefore, this study demonstrates VCD as a useful method for the structural analysis of naturally occurring d-amino acid-containing peptides.
