Herein we report the first X-ray crystal structures of mixed chirality alpha-helices in short peptides comprising only natural residues as the example of a stapled bicyclic and a linear membrane disruptive amphiphilic antimicrobial peptide (AMP) containing seven l- and four d-residues, as complexes of fucosylated analogs with the bacterial lectin LecB. The mixed chirality alpha-helices are superimposable onto the homochiral alpha-helices and form under similar conditions as shown by CD spectra and MD simulations but non-hemolytic and resistant to proteolysis. The observation of a mixed chirality alpha-helix with only natural residues in the protein environment of LecB suggests a vast unexplored territory of alpha-helical mixed chirality sequences and their possible use for optimizing bioactive alpha-helical peptides.
