Helix Bundle Quaternary Structure from alpha/beta-Peptide Foldamers: GCN4-p1 with beta-residues at b and f heptad positions.
Overview
The function of a protein generally depends on adoption of a specific, folding pattern, which in turn is determined by the side chain sequence, along the polypeptide backbone. Here we show that the sequence-encoded, structural information in peptides derived from yeast transcriptional, activator GCN4 can be used to prepare hybrid alpha/beta-peptide foldamers, that adopt helix bundle quaternary structures. Crystal structures of two, hybrid alpha/beta-peptides are reported along with detailed structural, comparison to alpha-peptides of analogous side chain sequence. There is, considerable homology between alpha- and alpha/beta-peptides at the level, of helical secondary structure, with modest but significant differences in, the association geometry of helices in the quaternary structure.
