Abstract

b3-Homoarginine was synthesized to examine the effect of arginine side chains on b-peptides. CD spectra revealed the presence of a 314-helix in MeOH, which undergoes a transition to an unordered or less ordered conformation in aq. soln. The dispersion of the amide and side-chain NH protons was increased when moving from MeOH to a 3:1 MeOH/H2O mixt. b-Heptaarginine was obsd. to be capable of penetrating the cells and entering the nuclear compartments.
