Conformational Preferences of Short Peptide Fragments

Folding in the confine: Short fragments of tri‐ to hexapeptides have been encapsulated by a synthetic host in water and folded into their latent helical structures (see crystal structure).

Zusammenfassung:Folding in the confine: Short fragments of tri‐ to hexapeptides have been encapsulated by a synthetic host in water and folded into their latent helical structures (see crystal structure). Crystallographic analysis of the complexes clearly reveals a mixed conformation of 310 and α helices, thereby illustrating the inherent helical propensity of very short peptide fragments.
