'''NMR structure of a peptide containing a dimetylthiazolidine : an analog of delta conotoxin EVIA loop 2'''<br />
'''NMR structure of a peptide containing a dimetylthiazolidine : an analog of delta conotoxin EVIA loop 2'''<br />


==Overview==
==Overview==
The delta-conotoxin EVIA from the Conus ermineus venom, a recently, characterized toxin, exhibits cis-trans isomerism of the Leu12-Pro13 bond, associated with the triggering of its biological activity. In this paper, we use the pseudoproline concept to target the presumed bioactive cis, conformation. We report the design and the synthesis of loop 2 analogs, from residue 8 to 18 containing either the cis-inducing Cys(PsiMe,MePro)13, unit or the natural proline residue. NMR studies in water and molecular, modeling allowed us to identify the amide bond "locked" in a cis, conformation for as in the suggested bioactive form of the natural toxin.
