The analysis of the amide I band contour (1700-1600 cm(-1)) by Fourier self-deconvolution and nonlinear curve-fitting shows that infrared spectroscopy is a useful method in detecting H-bonded beta- and gamma-turns. FTIR spectra of the studied peptides were recorded both in TFE and in DMSO. It has been found that well-established beta-turns give rise to characteristic acceptor amide I bands between 1642 and 29 cm(-1), while bands appearing at similar to 1650 cm(-1) and 1625-15 cm(-1) an due to acceptor amide carbonyls of weakly and strongly H-bonded gamma-turns, respectively. The low-frequency component bands are often weaker or missing in the spectra obtained in DMSO, the changes in the relative band intensities can be explained on the basis of the different solvating property of the two solvents. CD spectra obtained in TFE were in general in good agreement with the IR spectroscopic data, indicating a mixture of conformers comprising more or less well defined turns. Previous NMR and MD studies on these cyclic peptides made possible the assignment of acceptor amide I component bands to particular carbonyls involved in intramolecular H-bonds.

The FTIR measurements give support to the following assignment of low-frequency amide I bands: > 1645 cm(-1), open (weakly H-bonded) beta- and gamma-turns; approximate to 1640 cm(-1), beta-turns (1 <-- 4 H-bonded); approximate to 1625 cm(-1), gamma-turns (1 <-- 3 H-bonded); < 1620 cm(-1), beta- and gamma-turns with bifurcated H-bondings, Solvent-dependence studies on the diamide models Ac-Xxx-NHCH3 (8, Xxx = Pro, Ala and Gly) suggest that it is the inverse gamma-turn (C-7(eq)) structure which is capable of forming a strong 1 <-- 3 intramolecular H-bond (band at approximate to 1625 cm(-1)). DMSO destroys 1 <-- 3 IHBs of gamma-turns and bifurcated turn systems even in cyclic peptides but does not affect 1 <-- 4 IHBs. TFE has a stabilizing effect an both 1 <-- 4 and 1 <-- 3 H-bondings which gives rise to mixtures of beta- and gamma-turn conformers. Contrary to vibrational spectroscopy, circular dichroism can differentiate between type I(III) and type II beta-turns showing class C and class B CD spectra, respectively. Based on the above findings, a class C CD spectrum measured in TFE can reflect the predominance of type I(III) beta-turn conformation, but it may also be a composite of subspectra of H-bonded beta-turn and gamma-turn as well as open conformers.
