Variability in the backbone conformation of cyclic pentapeptides. Crystal structure of cyclic(Gly-L-Pro-D-Phe-Gly-L-Ala). 1986

I L Karle

All the peptide bonds in cyclic(Gly-L-Pro-D-Phe-Gly-L-Ala) are in the trans conformation; however, the peptide bond C'5-N1 is twisted by 19 degrees from planarity (omega 5 = -161 degrees). A Type II beta-turn encompasses the L-Pro-D-Phe residues. Carbonyl oxygens O2, O4 and O5 are directed to the same side of the average plane through the backbone ring and they form hydrogen bonds with N3, N5 and N1, respectively, in adjacent molecules in a stacked column where the adjacent molecules are related by one translational unit. The conformation of the backbone is different from that established in other molecules with the DLDDL chirality sequence. The P21 cell contains two molecules of C21H26N5O5 with a = 4.836(2) A, b = 18.346(8) A, c = 12.464(5) A and beta = 100.05(4) degrees. The R factor for 1382 data with [F0[ greater than 1 sigma is 7.0%.
