Reversible ?-helix formation controlled by a hydrogen bond surrogate.


ABSTRACT: Strategically placed covalent linkages have been shown to stabilize helical conformations in short peptide sequences. Here we report the synthesis of a stabilized ?-helix that utilizes an internal disulfide linkage. Structural analysis indicates that the dynamic nature of the disulfide bridge allows for the reversible formation of an ?-helix through oxidation and reduction reactions.
