Poly (delta-L-ornithine). 1981

K B Mathur, and R K Pandey, and M V Jagannadham, and D Balasubramanian

Poly (delta-L-Orn) is an example of an iso-polypeptide (i.e. variant of the usual poly a-peptide chain), where the a-carboxyl and delta-amino groups of ornithine are used in polymerization while the a-amino groups form the side chain. A procedure for the synthesis of this iso-polypeptide is described. Circular dichroism studies of poly (delta-L-Orn) and its Na-Boc derivative suggest that these polymers might adopt a conformation in solution similar to the beta-pleated sheet.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides
