The conformation of elastin-like peptides Boc-Ala-Pro-Gly-Val-APEGM, Boc-Ala-Pro-Gly-Val-Gly-Val-APEGM, Boc-Ala-Pro-Gly-Val-Ala-Pro-Gly-Val-Gly-Val-APEGM, Boc-Ala-Pro-Gly-Val-Gly-Val-Ala-Pro-Gly-Val-Gly-Val-APEGM were examined in solution using circular dichroism at 30 °C, 50 °C, and 70 °C and in solid state by IR at room temperature. The studies show that the β-turn is a significant conformational feature for peptides under investigation in solution at 30 °C and 50 °C, but at 70 °C the tetra, hexa, and decapeptides show the CD feature characteristic of the β-structure while the dodecapeptide spectra show the presence of β-turn which indicates the stability of the β-turn at this chain length. The IR spectra show that in the solid state at room temperature all investigated peptides assume essentially a β-turn except the tetrapeptide which present evidence of antiparallel β-structure. The β-turn contribution in the IR spectra increases with the increase of the chain length of the peptide.

The c.d. spectra are reported for a series of benzylidene derivatives of glycerol and mannitol containing 1,3-dioxolan, 1,3-dioxan and 1,3- dioxepan ring systems. The signs of the Cotton effects of 1Lb and 1La transitions of the phenyl chromophore have been rationalized in terms of recently proposed sector rules for these transitions.
