The results of FT-IR show that there exists β-strand or β-turn secondary structure in the molecule. According to the CD spectrum, the helical turn is dominant but the β-turn structure also exists. Conformation of the whole molecule is probably a helical β-turn. The chemical shifts and coupling constants prove the existence of a β-structure in the regions of Val1, Orn2 and Leu3. NOESY data and temperature gradients of amide protons suggest that the molecular conformation is a dumbbell-like structure with the waist located between ornithyl (position 2) and D-phenylalanyl (position 7) and β-turn on both ends.展开更多

The properties of their fluorescent behaviours both in aqueous buffer and micelles created by sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) and dodecylphosphorylcholine (DPC) were further investigated. It was found that in either of micelle systems, [Ald^6]loloatin C possesses red-shift emission maximum wavelength and higher quantum yield. This property could be useful in the research of peptide-cell membrane interaction.展开更多
