Abstract: | The crystal and molecular structure of the valinomycin analogue, cyclo[(D-Val-L-Lac-L-Ala-D-Hyi)2(D-Val-L-Lac-L-Val-D-Hyi)] has been solved by x-ray direct methods using the "Shake and Bake" procedure. The crystals, grown from a mixture of octane/CH2Cl2, belong to space group P2(1) (Z = 4) with cell parameters a = 10.29, b = 32.08, c = 18.73 A, beta = 97.05 degrees, and contain two molecules per asymmetric unit. After anisotropic refinement the standard reliability factor was Rl = 0.058. The conformations of both independent molecules is similar to that observed for isoleucinomycin, cyclo[-(D-Ile-L-Lac-L-Ile-D-Hyi)3] [V. Z. Pletnev et al. (1980) Biopolymers, Vol. 19, pp. 1517-1534]. The structure has an asymmetric conformation stabilized by six intramolecular H bonds, five bonds being of the 4-->1 type and one bond being of the 5-->1 type. One water molecule is caged in the internal cavity of each cyclodepsipeptide. This conformation could represent an intermediate state between free and complexed forms of valinomycin. |
