| Abstract | The incorporation of β-amino acid residues into the antiparallel β-strand segments of a multi-stranded β-sheet peptide is demonstrated for a 19-residue peptide, $Boc-LV^{β}FV^{D}PGL^{β}FVVL^{D}PGLVL^{β}FVV-OMe$ (BBH19). Two centrally positioned $^{D}Pro–Gly$ segments facilitate formation of a stable three-stranded β-sheet, in which β-phenylalanine $(^{β}Phe)$ residues occur at facing positions 3, 8 and 17. Structure determination in methanol solution is accomplished by using NMR-derived restraints obtained from NOEs, temperature dependence of amide NH chemical shifts, rates of H/D exchange of amide protons and vicinal coupling constants. The data are consistent with a conformationally well-defined three-stranded β-sheet structure in solution. Cross-strand interactions between $^{β}Phe3/^{β}Phe17$ and $^{β}Phe3/Val15$ residues define orientations of these side-chains. The observation of close contact distances between the side-chains on the N- and C-terminal strands of the three-stranded β-sheet provides strong support for the designed structure. Evidence is presented for multiple side-chain conformations from an analysis of NOE data. An unusual observation of the disappearance of the Gly NH resonances upon prolonged storage in methanol is rationalised on the basis of a slow aggregation step, resulting in stacking of three-stranded β-sheet structures, which in turn influences the conformational interconversion between type I′ and type II′ β-turns at the two $^{D}Pro–Gly$ segments. Experimental evidence for these processes is presented. The decapeptide fragment $Boc-LV^{β}FV^{D}PGL^{β}FVV-OMe$ (BBH10), which has been previously characterized as a type I′ β-turn nucleated hairpin, is shown to favour a type II′ β-turn conformation in solution, supporting the occurrence of conformational interconversion at the turn segments in these hairpin and sheet structures. |

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.
