Abstract:
Three cyclic peptides that are Regioselectively Addressable Functionalized Templates (RAFT) for use in protein de novo design have been investigated using a combination of nmr, restrained molecular dynamics, and CD spectroscopy. These peptides contain up to four selectively addressable sites (orthogonally protected lysine side chains) or have selectively addressable faces. The results show a common stable conformation for templates of this kind based on two type II beta-turns and an associated beta-sheet structure. A preferential orientation for the side chains is also demonstrated. The significance of these findings is discussed in the context of applications of RAFT that rely on their conformational rigidity and ability to present functionalities in a defined spatial arrangement.

Regioselectivity of Electrophilic Additions to Alkenes: Markovnikov's Rule
The hydrohalogenation of an unsymmetrical alkene can yield two haloalkane products, depending on which vinylic carbon takes up the halogen. However, one product usually predominates, where hydrogen adds to the vinylic carbon bearing the...

Regioselectivity and Stereochemistry of Hydroboration
Hydroboration proceeds in a concerted fashion with the attack of borane on the π bond, giving a cyclic four-centered transition state. The –BH2 group is bonded to the less substituted carbon and –H to the more substituted carbon. The concerted nature requires the simultaneous addition of –H and –BH2 across the same face of the alkene giving syn stereochemistry.
