Conformation of model, alanine and proline containing tetrapeptides in water. Comparison of 13C-n.m.r. and CD results. 1983

M Lisowski, and I Z Siemion, and K Sobczyk

CD spectra of model alanine and prolyl-alanine tetrapeptides were measured at different pH values. An analysis of the spectra shows that proline in position 2 or 4 of a tetrapeptide favours folding of the peptide chain, and unfolding when it is in position 3. Changes in CD spectra evidence growing amounts of the beta-turn conformation upon increasing pH, independent of proline position in the peptide chain.
