title: Structure and property of self-assemble valinyl bolaform amides having different chirality.
abstract: Bolaform amides were designed from N,N'-bis(carboethoxy-L-valinyl)-diaminoethane (1) by linking t-butyloxycarbonyl-valine through ethylenediamine (EDA) to enable spectroscopic and X-ray diffraction analyses. N,N'-Bis(Boc-L-valinyl)-diaminoethane (2) and N,N'-bis(Boc-D-valinyl)-diaminoethane (3) were composed of L-Val and D-Val, respectively. N-(Boc-L-valinyl)-N'-(Boc-D-valinyl)-diaminoethane (4) was composed of both L-Val and D-Val, and was achiral (meso-peptide). Peptide 5 was a 1:1 mixture of 2 and 3, and was also achiral (racemate). These peptides mediated gelation of corn oil at a concentration of approximately 1%. Within crystals, the peptides formed beta-sheet ribbons, but differences were observed in hydrogen-bonding patterns and side-chain arrangements. These differences were also deduced from temperature dependence of amide protons. Force-field calculations based on the crystal structures indicated that association of beta-sheet ribbons had energy benefits, and it was assumed that molecular aggregation progressed spontaneously. These structural studies indicated the chirality of amino acids affected for the properties of bolaform amides.
