The contribution to the circular dichroism of L-Ala-L-Ala, L-Nva-L-Nva, L-Val-L-Val, L-Leu-L-Leu, L-Ile-L-Ile, L-Cys(Me)-L-Cys(Me), L-Met-L-Met, and L-Phe-L-Phe internal peptide chromophores in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropan-2-ol were calculated by subtracting the total molar ellipticity values of N- and C-protected homo-trimers from those of the pertinent protected homo-tetramers.The circular dichroism of the internal peptide chromophore of aliphatic hydrocarbon- and sulfur-containing peptides, each of the L-configuration, show a negative band at 2l5–230 nm accompanied by a more intense negative band near 200 nm. A structured weak and negative band near 260 nm along with bands at 240 nm (negative), 222 nm (positive), and 210.5 nm (negative) of progressively increasing intensity are apparent in the circular dichroic spectrum of L-Phe-L-Phe internal peptide chromophore. The effect of solvent polarity is discussed in the case of L-Val-L-Val and L-Ala-L-Ala internal peptide chromophores.Among the protected homo-trimers and tetramers only those of L-alanine are soluble in aqueous solution; consequently, the effect of water as a function of temperature, urea, and guanidinium chloride on the L-Ala-L-Ala internal peptide chromophore circular dichroism was established.
