Bond distances in polypeptide backbones depend on the local conformation.
By combining quantum-mechanical analysis of small model peptides and statistical surveys of high-resolution protein structures, a systematic conformational dependence of bond lengths in polypeptide backbones has been unveiled which involves both the peptide bond (C-O and C-N) and those bonds centred on the C(α) atom. All of these bond lengths indeed display a systematic variability in the ψ ang...
متن کاملThe reverse turn as a polypeptide conformation in globular proteins.
The reverse turn, involving four consecutive amino acids, as a tertiary conformation in globular proteins is defined in terms of dihedral angles, the C(1) (alpha)...C(4) (alpha) distance and the O(1)...H-N(4) hydrogen bond distance. In seven proteins we find 125 examples of turns, comprising 33% of the amino acids in these proteins, as compared with 34% of the residues forming helices and only ...
متن کاملStereochemistry of Polypeptide Conformation in Coarse Grained Analysis
The conformations available to polypeptides are determined by the interatomic forces acting on the peptide units, whereby backbone torsion angles are restricted as described by the Ramachandran plot. Although typical proteins are composed predominantly from α-helices and β-sheets, they nevertheless adopt diverse tertiary structure, each folded as dictated by its unique amino-acid sequence. Desp...
متن کاملSome aspects concerning conformation of polypeptide chains in proteins.
The structure of (S)-N,N'-di-tert-butyl-2-[N-(1-phenylethyl)benzamido] malonamide contains two fragments of a polypeptide chain. This compound therefore can be taken as a model substance for details of protein conformation. In the crystalline state one peptide chain of the model molecule incorporates a hydrogen bond between two adjacent nitrogen atoms in the backbone. The acceptor for the hydro...

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...
