IntroductionCF3-substituted α-amino acids (CF3-AA) are highly useful as 19F-NMR labels. They are especially informative in solid-state NMR studies of peptides in biomembranes. To be a ``good`` label the CF3-AA should meet several criteria.

9-(CF3Bpg)-PGLa

A single CF3-Bpg label was substituted in four different positions of the α-helical peptide PGLa: GMASKAGAI9A10GKI13A14KVALKAL-NH2

Circular dichroism showed that a single CF3-Bpg label does not perturb the conformation of the peptide.

The antimicrobial α-helical peptide PGLa was used to test the incorporation of the „old“ CF3-Phg and the „new“ CF3-Bpg label.

The antimicrobial function of the four labelled analogues of PGLa was tested, and all minimal inhibitory concentrations were found to be identical to the wild type peptide

Several novel conformationally restricted CF3-labelled α-amino acids have been synthesized. These amino acids were designed as 19F-NMR labels for solid state NMR studies of membrane-bound peptides. CF3-Bpg has been demonstrated to fulfil all criteria for optimal use as a 19F-NMR. The application of the new CF3-Pro analogues as 19F-NMR labels is currently under investigation.

Criterion 2: successful peptide synthesis(RP-HPLC)

HPLC of 13-(CF3-Phg)-PGLa L-(CF3-Phg) racemizes during peptide synthesis. 2 diastereomers of 13-(CF3-Phg)-PGLa (containing D- and L-CF3-Phg) are formed.

HPLC of 13-(CF3-Bpg)-PGLaL-(CF3-Bpg) does not racemize during solid phase Fmoc peptide synthesis.
