| Abstract | Close-packed helices with mixed hydrogen bond directionality are unprecedented in the structural chemistry of alpha-polypeptides. While NMR studies in solution state provide strong evidence for the occurrence of mixed helices in (beta beta)(n) and (alpha beta)(n) sequences, limited information is currently available in crystals. The peptide structures presented show the occurrence of C-11 C-9 helices in (alpha beta)(n) peptides. Transitions between C-11 and C-11 C-9 helices are observed upon varying the alpha-amino acid residue. |
