Abstract

Three dimensional structures of peptides: A, AG, AGA, AGAG and their cyclisation structures such as A-Cl, AG-Cl and their NCAs’ were drawn into a computer. Properties such as distance, angles, state surfaces were obtained and optimized to find the potential energy surface (PES), using a Gaussian program. These values were used to simulate the reaction of NCA formation from the precursor structures using their thermodynamic parameters’ (∆G, ∆H and ∆S) as a function of temperature, structure and length of the NCA precursor. The thermodynamic feasibility of the processes was investigated to augment work in the laboratory in view of the large number of applications including bio-organic synthesis and tissue engineering. Spontaneity of the reactions to form stable NCAs’ was found to increase with peptide length. The changes in thermodynamics, revealed more about the changes in energy with conformation in the reaction indicating that emphasis should be put on the general trends in the reaction, such that the increasingly negative values with length of molecules show increasing spontaneity of the reaction.
