Abstract
A set of designed internally quenched fluorescence peptide substrates has been used to probe the e¡ects of insertion of beta-peptide bonds into peptide sequences. The test sequence chosen corresponds to a proteolytically susceptible site in hemoglobin K-chain, residues 32-37. Fluorescence and mass spectral measurements demonstrate that the insertion of an beta-residues at the potential cleavage sites completely abolishes the action of proteases; in addition, the rate of cleavage of the peptide bond preceding the site of modification is also considerably reduced.
