Spectrosccopy of cyclic dipeptides

par Zehnacker-Rentien Anne - 3 août 2018 (modifié le 25 mars 2020)

Cyclic dipeptides built on a diketopiperazine (DKP) ring and containing two aromatic residues of either identical or opposite chirality are spectroscopically studied in different environments. In the gas phase, conformer-specific laser spectroscopy under supersonic expansion conditions combined with quantum chemical calculations shows that the structure of the dipeptide containing phenylalanine (Phe), namely, cyclo Phe-Phe, shows little dependence upon the chirality of the residues. A similar geometry is observed for both LL and LD configurations, with one Phe folded over the DKP ring and the other one extended. The same lack of sensitivity is observed for cyclo TyrPro, despite the steric bias brought by the cylic proline. Two conformations indeed are observed, namely a folded geometry involving CH…π and an extended geometry involving an NH…π interaction. The strength of these two weak interactions slightly differ in the two diastereomers.

In contrast, very strong chirality dependence of the structure is observed for cyclo tyrosine-tyrosine, cyclo Tyr-Tyr. While both LL and LD diastereomers show the same “folded extended” structure as cyclo Phe-Phe, a structure involving a strong hydrogen bond between the hydroxyls of the two tyrosine residues is observed for LL only.
