A structure-activity analysis of peptides containing backbone C alpha-methyl modification at the P4 site of the angiotensinogen sequence led to the discovery of potent renin inhibitors with apparent in vitro metabolic stability. Boc-alpha-MePro-Phe-His-Leu psi[CHOHCH2]Val-Ile-Amp dicitrate (Va) is a potent inhibitor

Methylation at the C(alpha)-position of a Pro residue was expected to lock the preceding tertiary amide (omega) torsion angle of the resulting (alphaMe)Pro to the trans disposition and to restrict the phi,psi surface to the single region where the 3(10)/alpha-helices

Collagen type I is the major protein of bone matrix and significantly reduced in osteoporosis. We tested the effect of alpha - methyl - proline on collagen synthesis in the model of the ovariectomized rat. Collagen synthesis was studied at

The ability of (S)-alpha-methylproline (alpha-MePro) to stabilise reverse-turn conformations in the peptide hormone bradykinin (BK = Arg1-Pro2-Pro3-Gly4-Phe5-Ser6-Pro7-Phe8-Arg9) has been investigated. Two BK analogues containing alpha-MePro at position 3 or position 7 were synthesised and their conformations in aqueous solution investigated

C(alpha)-methyl-L-proline, or L-(alphaMe)Pro, is probably the most conformationally constrained alpha-amino acid. In particular, its omega and phi torsion angles are restricted to about 180 and -60 degrees, respectively, and only three ranges of values are theoretically available for psi in
