Popis: | A model peptide, TDK, was studied by circular dichroism to elucidate the effect of organic solvent on α-helical formation. The a-helicities enhanced by various alcohol solvents, especially fluorine-substituted alcohols were systematically compared. The relations between a-helical formation of a peptide and external environment were also discussed in detail. These environmental elements mainly include hydrophobicity, dielectric constant and acidity of the solvents. |
