On the Stability of Polyalanine Secondary Structures: The Role of the Polyproline II Helix / G. Lanza, U. Chiacchio, S. Motta, S. Pellegrino, G. Broggini. - In: CHEMPHYSCHEM. - ISSN 1439-4235. - 12:15(2011), pp. 2724-2727.
Abstract:
The missing link: Ab initio calculations carried out on a series of terminally blocked polyalanines AcAla nNH 2 provide a detailed picture on stabilities of peptide secondary structures. Among them is the polyproline II helical structure (see picture), found ubiquitously in polyalanine-rich peptides, whose stability is still poorly understood theoretically. Copyright
