Abstract

We utilized UV resonance Raman (UVRR) measurements and density functional theory (DFT) calculations to relate the AmII'p frequency to the Ψ angle. The AmII'p frequency shifts by ∼ 25 cm-1 as the Ψ angle is varied over allowed angles of the Pro peptide bond. The AmII'p frequency does not show any significant dependence on the Ψ dihedral angle. The conformation sensitivity of the AmII'p frequency derives from conformation-induced changes in the planarity of the Pro peptide bond; Ψ angle changes push the amide nitrogen out of the peptide bond plane. We use this AmII'p frequency dependence on the Ψ angle to track temperature-induced conformation changes in a polyproline peptide. The temperature-induced 7 cm -1 downshift in the AmII'p frequency of the polyproline peptide results from an ∼45° rotation of the Ψ dihedral angle from Ψ = 145° (ideal PPII conformation) to Ψ = 100° (collapsed PPII conformation). © 2009 American Chemical Society.
