Abstract

This paper describes the synthesis of two diastereoisomers of an imidazoline dipeptide mimetic (a 4,5 dihydroimidazole-4-carboxylic acid), suitably protected for incorporation into solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) using the Fmoc protocol, from a phenylalanine-derived thioimidate and an alpha,beta-diaminopropanoic acid ester, followed by protecting group manipulation.

Conformational and spectroscopic analysis of the tyrosyl radical dipeptide analogue in the gas phase and in aqueous solution by a density functional/continuum solvent model.

The conformational and spectroscopic properties of the tyrosyl radical dipeptide analogue (T(R)DA) are investigated both in gas phase and in aqueous solution by means of density functional calculations. Electronic interactions between backbone and side chain, determining the relative stability of the different energy minimums, depend on the electronic state of the phenoxy substituent. As a consequence, (i) the conformational behavior of T(R)DA is quite different from that of the tyrosine dipeptide analogue, and (ii) the energy required for the homolytic breaking of the OH bond depends on the adopted conformation. The calculated hyperfine coupling constants are in good agreement with the available experimental results. Side-chain-backbone interactions cause an asymmetrization of the magnetic properties of the phenoxy ring and deviations from McConnell relationship. Solvent effects, taken into account by means of a combined discrete/continuum model, significantly affect both the conformational and the magnetic behavior of T(R)DA.

Self-assembly of dipeptidyl ureas: a new class of hydrogen-bonded molecular duplexes.

The dipeptidyl urea 1 composed of two dipeptide chains bearing the C-terminal pyridyl moiety (-L-Ala-L-Pro-NHPy) was prepared. Two molecules of 1 are revealed to be held together by six intermolecular hydrogen bonds to form a hydrogen-bonded duplex by the single-crystal X-ray structure determination. Proton magnetic resonance nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) study indicates the hydrogen-bonded duplex even in solution. Furthermore, a shuttle-like molecular dynamics based on recombination of the hydrogen bonds was observed. The dipeptidyl urea composed of two dipeptide chains bearing the C-terminal pyrenyl moiety (-L-Ala-L-Pro-NHCH(2)Pyr) exhibited both monomer and eximer emissions in the fluorescence spectra, supporting the formation of a duplex. A combination of the C-terminal amide NH function in each side and the designed sequence of hydrogen-bonding sites are considered to be a crucial factor for the duplex formation.
