Abstract
L-β,β-Dimethylmethionine S-oxide is a unique amino acid found in polytheonamides. Four designed hexapeptides containing the sulfide, (S R)-sulfoxide, (SS)-sulfoxide, and sulfone derivatives of l-dimethylmethionine were synthesized and functionally analyzed. Our results indicate that the sulfoxide stereochemistry of the peptides controls their overall physicochemical properties.
