New charge-bearing amino acid residues that promote ?-sheet secondary structure.


ABSTRACT: Proteinogenic amino acid residues that promote ?-sheet secondary structure are hydrophobic (e.g., Ile or Val) or only moderately polar (e.g., Thr). The design of peptides intended to display ?-sheet secondary structure in water typically requires one set of residues to ensure conformational stability and an orthogonal set, with charged side chains, to ensure aqueous solubility and discourage self-association. Here we describe new amino acids that manifest substantial ?-sheet propensity, by virtue of ?-branching, and also bear an ionizable group in the side chain.
