Abstract
In a previous paper, we have shown the utility of cluster analysis for identifying patterns in the way the Cα atoms of fragments of the β-turn are distributed in three dimensions. This work has been extended to the Cα–Cβ bond vectors of 2- and 3-side-chain fragments. Again, distinct patterns emerge and 10 and 12 classes of vector orientation have been identified for the 2- and 3-vector problem, respectively. These clusters of vector distribution provide an optimal reduced set of design criteria for the de novo generation of novel peptidomimetics for fragments of the β-turn.
