Circular dichroism spectra of the peptides H-Tyr-Asp-Pro-OH, H-Tyr-Asp-Pro-Ala-OH, H-Tyr-Asp-Pro-Ala-(Pro)n-OH (n = 1-6) and of their two methyleneoxy isosters were measured and analyzed in terms of possible interactions between the N-terminal (mostly tetrapeptide) part that is responsible for the oostatic activity and the C-terminal oligoproline sequence. The results indicate that the two parts are largely independent and that the C-terminal (Pro)n sequence serves another purpose, possibly as a carrier.
