Description |
To validate the existing hypothesis put forward by Navarro et al., we performed single crystal X-ray diffraction structural analysis of a designed model peptide incorporating an unsubstituted achiral γ-aminobutyric acid: Boc-Pro-γ-Abu-OH (1) lacking C-terminal amide group. The analysis established existence of an overall unusual tightly folded topology stabilized by a conventional N(i)···H--N(i + 1) and an unconventional C(i)--H···O(i) type intramolecular hydrogen bonding interactions, encompassing a five-membered and a six-membered ring motifs, respectively. Moreover, in conjunction with Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) absorption study in solid KBr, the results provided evidence that two conventional and one unconventional noncovalent intermolecular interaction stabilize a right-handed helical architecture generated via molecular self-assembly by translating the symmetry related molecules along the crystallographic b axis. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
