    • 色氨基酸包覆胜肽，NLYIQWLKDGGPSSGRPPPS，一個合成的20個殘基聚胜肽，是源自將一個39個殘基的胜肽，HGEGTFTSDLSKQMEEEAVRL
    FIEWLKNGGPSSGAPPPS，名為exendin- 4(EX4)進行截取和突變。色氨基酸包覆胜肽未折疊至折疊不是ㄧ個簡單的兩態過程已被報告過。為了澄清這議題，我們合成了雙順磁性物質標定的色氨基酸包覆胜肽並且研究順磁性物質對於此胜肽中色氨基酸螢光的影響、圓二色以及電子自旋共振圖譜。順磁性物質之ㄧ是四甲吡氧胺酸(TOAC)被接在色氨基酸包覆胜肽的N端，而另ㄧ個是(1-氧-2,2,5,5-四甲基吡咯口林 -3-甲基)甲基硫代硫磺酸酯(MTSSL)被接在C端。我們利用穩定態圓二色光譜儀探測此胜肽的二級結構。我們發現在30度以上轉彎結構會一直存在但是螺旋結構會消失。在色氨基酸包覆胜肽的重新摺疊中，顯示轉彎是先形成的。這些測量也指出順磁性物質可以穩定α-螺旋結構。此外，由順磁性物質抑制色氨基酸的螢光，我們可以推斷出在C端的MTSSL比N端的TOAC更接近色氨基酸。最後，我們已經可以製備雙順磁性物質標定的色氨基酸包覆胜肽，並且也已使用電子自旋共振儀去探測兩個順磁性物質間的磁偶極-偶極影響。雙自由基色氨基酸包覆胜肽的電子自旋光譜訊號變寬，是兩個順磁性物質間的磁偶極-偶極影響所致，因此兩自由基的距離是在20Å範圍之內。

    Trp-cage, NLYIQWLKDGGPSSGRPPPS, a synthetic 20 residue polypeptide, is obtained from the truncation and mutation of a 39 residue peptide, HGEGTFTSDLSKQMEEEAVRLFIEWLKNGGPS
    SGAPPPS, called exendin-4 (EX4). It has been reported that folding/unfolding of the trp-cage is not a simple two-state process. Toward clarifying this issue, we have synthesized two spin-labeled trp-cage peptides and studied the effects of the spin-label on the tryptophan fluorescence in the peptides, circular dichroism, and the electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum. The one of the spin-labels is 2,2,6,6- tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl-4-amino-4- carboxylic acid (TOAC) coupled to the trp-cage at the N-terminal, and the other, (1-oxyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl- pyrroline-3-methyl)-methanethiosulfonate (MTSSL), at the C-terminal. We probe the secondary structure of the peptides using steady-state CD spectroscopy. We find that the turn structure always exists but the helix is lost at temperature above 30℃. In the refolding of the trp-cage, the turn appears to be formed first. These measurements indicate that the spin-labels stabilize the α-helix structure. Besides, from quenching of the tryptophan fluorescence by the spin-labels, we conclude that MTSSL at C-terminal is closer to the tryptophan than TOAC. Finally, we have prepared a doubly-labeled spin-label trp-cage and have used EPR to probe the magnetic dipole-dipole interaction between the two spin-labels. The EPR signal of the diradical trp-cage is broad, interacting onsite of magnetic dipole-dipole interaction between two spin-labels, and thus the distance is within 20Å.
