Popis: Monobenzylated sugar amino acids (SAAs) that differ in ether ring size (containing an oxetane, furanoid, and pyranoid ring) were synthesized and incorporated in one of the ß-turn regions of the cyclo-decapeptide gramicidin S (GS). CD, NMR spectroscopy, modeling, and X-ray diffraction reveal that the ring size of the incorporated SAA moieties determines the spatial positioning of their cis-oriented carboxyl and aminomethyl substituents, thereby subtly influencing the amide linkages with the adjacent amino acids in the sequence. Unlike GS itself, the conformational behavior of the SAA-containing peptides is solvent dependent. The derivative containing the pyranoid SAA is slightly less hydrophobic and displays a diminished haemolytic activity, but has similar antimicrobial properties as GS. © 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
