| Abstract | Although the peptide Boc-Aib1-Ala2-Leu3-Aib4-Ala5-Leu6-Aib7-Ala8-L eu9-Aib10-OME [with a t-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) blocking group at the amino terminus, a methyl ester (OMe) at the carboxyl terminus, and four alpha-amino-isobutyric (Aib) residues] has a 3-fold repeat of residues, the helix formed by the peptide backbone is irregular. The carboxyl-terminal half assumes an alpha-helical form with torsion angles phi and psi of approximately -60 degrees and -45 degrees, respectively, whereas the amino-terminal half is distorted by an insertion of a water molecule between the amide nitrogen of Ala5 [N(5)] and the carbonyl oxygen of Ala2 [O(2)]. The water molecule W(1) acts as a bridge by forming hydrogen bonds N(5)...W(1) (2.93 A) and W(1)...O(2) (2.86 A). The distortion of the helix exposes the carbonyl oxygens of Aib1 and Aib4 to the outside environment, with the consequence that the helix assumes an amphiphilic character despite having all apolar residues. Neighboring helices in the crystal run in antiparallel directions. On one side of a helix there are only hydrophobic contacts with efficient interdigitation of leucine side chains with those from the neighboring helix. On the other side of the helix there are hydrogen bonds between protruding carbonyl oxygens and four water molecules that separate two neighboring helices. Along the helix axis the helices bind head-to-tail with a direct hydrogen bond N(2)...O(9) (3.00 A). Crystals grown from methanol/water solution are in space group P21 with a = 15.778 +/- 0.004 A, b = 11.228 +/- 0.002 A, c = 18.415 +/- 0.003 A, beta = 102.10 +/- 0.02 degrees, and two formula units per cell for C49H88N10O13.2H2O.CH3OH. The overall agreement factor R is 7.5% for 3394 reflections observed with intensities greater than 3 sigma (F), and the resolution is 0.90 A. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
