Abstract

Conformational control over the screw sense of a helical 17-mer of achiral amino acids, Aib8GlyAib8, from a single chiral residue located at the N-terminus is better than that from a single amino acid located at the C-terminus. X-ray crystallography indicates that Aib 8GlyAib8 forms the longest 310 helical structure observed crystallographically to date.
