Theoretical conformational analysis was used to study the spatial structure and conformational properties of myelopeptides, bone marrow peptide mediators. The low-energy conformations of myelopeptides MP-4 (Phe-Arg-Pro-Arg-Ile-Met-Thr-Pro), MP-5 (Val-Val-Tyr-Pro-Asp), and MP-6 (Val-Asp-Pro-Pro) were found; the values of dihedral angles of backbone and side chains of the amino acid residues were determined; and the energies of intra- and interresidual interactions were estimated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
