Title
Peptide models XVI. The identification of selected HCO - L - SER - NH2 conformers via a systematic grid search using ab initio potential energy surfaces
Abstract
Multidimensional conformational analysis (MDCA) predicted the existence of nine stable backbone conformations (alpha(L), alpha(D), beta(L), gamma(L), gamma(D), delta(L), delta(D), epsilon(L), and epsilon(D)) on the 2D-Ramachandran map, E = E(phi, psi), for a single amino acid diamide (HCONH-CHR-CONH2). The potential energy hypersurfaces (E = E[phi, psi, chi(1), chi(2)]) of For-L-Ser-NH2 associated with the alpha(L)-, beta(L)-, gamma(L)-, delta(L)-, and epsilon(L)-type stable backbone orientations are investigated in this article. An appropriate number of side-chain rotamers is associated with each of the backbone conformers. In the case of serine, where R = -CH2OH, the two sidechain torsional angles (chi(1), chi(2)) should lead to 3*3 = 9 different sidechain orientations according to MDCA. For certain backbone structures, some of the sidechain conformations were nonexistent. (C) 1996 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
