The peptides are Ac-WVTIpGKAIFTG-NH2 with the indicated substitutions for residues in bold font. Except where indicated (last row), all the peptides had Trp at position 1.
Chemical-shift deviations of the following atoms were used to calculate the % folding: Val2 NH, Ile3 Hα, Ile4 NH, X8 Hα, Ile9 NH, and when X = Phe or Tyr, X10 Hβ3 and X10 Hδ.
Abbreviations: Cha = cyclohexylalanine, Orn = ornithine.
