Figure 1.
Chemical structures and helical wheel diagrams of 1–9. (A) Primary sequences of α-peptide 1 and α/β-peptides 2–9, sorted according to α/β backbone pattern. Bold letters indicate hydrophobic core residues in the GCN4-pLI sequence. Colored circles indicate sequence positions occupied by β-residues, cyan for β^3-residues and orange for cyclic β-residues. (B) Helical wheel diagram of 1 with hydrophobic core residues indicated. (C) Structures of an α-amino acid, a β^3-amino acid, and the cyclic β-amino acids ACPC (X) and APC (Z). (D) Helical wheel diagrams of the α/β residue patterns of 2–9 based on a heptad repeat. Each circle represents a residue and is colored by residue type, yellow for α-residues, cyan for β^3-residues, and orange for cyclic β-residues. Bold circles indicate hydrophobic core positions.
