Melittin, a 26-residue peptide from bee venom, is known to change from a largely random to a largely alpha-helical conformation as a function of peptide concentration, pH, and ionic strength. In this report, we have determined the effect of displacing the positive charges of the amino groups of N-terminal glycine and lysine residues away from the backbone of melittin in coil-to-helix transitions by using omega-aminoacyl derivatives of melittin. These were prepared by acylating the amino groups… CONTINUE READING
