Abstract
The cyclic pentapeptide cyclo-(Gly(I)-Pro-Gly(2)-D-Ala-Prow), which has been shown by ^1H and ^(13)C NMR to incorporate both β and γ turns, has been used as a model system to explore the use of ^(15)N NMR to analyze the conformations of peptides. Assignments of ^(15)N resonances to specific amino acids have been made by analogy with similar peptides and confirmed by ^(15)N labeling. Nitrogen chemical shifts of the peptide, which is soluble in a wide variety of solvents, are sensitive to solvent changes. In water, two conformations corresponding to different cis-trans configurations of the peptide bonds are present. By means of ^(15)N labeling and an analysis of ^(15)N chemical shifts the involvement of Gly(1) in this cis-trans isomerism has been established. These results indicate substantial utility for ^(15)N NMR in the conformational analysis of peptides.
