Abstract

Using our recently developed synthetic methodology which provides access to cis-peptidyl prolinamides of the type H-Xaa-Pro-NH2 (for the first time) we wish to prepare variants and study their conformational stability with respect isomerisation. These experiments (kinetic and thermodynamic measurement) will be performed in a range of solvents and under conditions of varying pH and ionic strength. The information is important in understanding peptide structure and function and how proteins fold.
