<strong>Proceedings</strong> of the 31 st European Peptide SymposiumMichal Lebl, Morten Meldal, Knud J. Jensen, Thomas Hoeg-Jensen (Editors)European Peptide Society, 2010Paternò-Yang Photocyclization Reaction in Bpa/Met3 10 -Helical Peptides: Role of Spacer LengthAnna Cupani, Alessandro Moretto, Fernando Formaggio, andClaudio TonioloICB, Padova Unit, CNR, Department of Chemistry, University of Padova,Padova, 35131, ItalyIntroductionThe 3-(4-benzoylphenyl)alanyl (Bpa) residue is extensively used as a photoaffinity label,particularly for studies of intermolecular (peptide)ligand-receptor(protein) interaction,where it is believed to most frequently remove a hydrogen atom from the side chain of aMet residue followed by covalent C-C bond formation of the resulting radical pair [1,2].We are currently carrying out an extensive and detailed investigation of this Paternò-Yangintramolecular photochemical reaction in a series of backbone rigified, 3 10 -helical [3]hexapeptides of general sequences Boc-U x BU y MU z -OMe and Boc-U x MU y BU z -OMe,where B=(S)-Bpa, U=Aib, M=(S)-Met, and U x + U y + U z =4. We aim at determining theeffects induced by the spacer length (U y =0-3) on the chemical and 3D-structures of theresulting products and their ratios. We have already reported our results for the UBU 2 MUhexapeptide substrate 1 [4].1 Boc-Aib-Bpa-Aib-Aib-Met-Aib-OMe (i i+3)2 Boc-Aib-Bpa-Aib-Met-Aib-Aib-OMe (i i+2)3 Boc-Aib-Bpa-Met-Aib-Aib-Aib-OMe (i i+1)4 Boc-Aib-Met-Aib-Aib-Bpa-Aib-OMe (i i+3)2 3 4Fig. 1.
