    • Special Amino Acid and Stapling Position

    • ①The Ⓧ (position: 2 and 6) in sequence indicates (S)-α-methyl, α-pentenylglycine. ②Ⓧ (2) and Ⓧ (6) are cross-linked by hydrocarbon stapling through an oct-4-enyl hydrocarbon staple.

    • Secondary Structure

    • α-helix in a 25 mM potassium phosphate buffer solution at 20 ℃

    • Structure Description

    • Compared to LEU, the previously reported stapled heptapeptide containing leucine in position 5, peptides VAL and ILE, carrying valine and isoleucine, respectively, appeared slightly more helical as determined by the CD signal intensity at 222 nm.
