| Abstract | Here we describe the NMR conformational study of a 20-residue linear peptide designed to fold into a monomeric three-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet in aqueous solution. Experimental and statistical data on amino acid beta-turn and beta-sheet propensities, cross-strand side-chain interactions, solubility criteria, and our previous experience with beta-hairpins were considered for a rational selection of the peptide sequence. Sedimentation equilibrium measurements and NMR dilution experiments provide evidence that the peptide is monomeric. Analysis of 1H and 13C-NMR parameters of the peptide, in particular NOEs and chemical shifts, and comparison with data obtained for two 12-residue peptides encompassing the N- and C-segments of the designed sequence indicates that the 20-residue peptide folds into the expected conformation. Assuming a two-state model, the exchange kinetics between the beta-sheet and the unfolded peptide molecules is in a suitable range to estimate the folding rate on the basis of the NMR linewidths of several resonances. The time constant for the coil-beta-sheet transition is of the order of several microseconds in the designed peptide. Future designs based on this peptide system are expected to contribute greatly to our knowledge of the many factors involved in beta-sheet formation and stability. |

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.
