We examined the effect of like-charged residues on the conformation of an original nine amino-acid-residue fragment of the human Pin1 WW domain (hPin1) with the f ollowing sequence: Ac-Arg-Met-Ser-Arg-Ser-Ser-Gly-Arg-Val-NH 2 (U9). This was facilitated by CD and NMR spectroscopic measurements, and molecular dynamics calculations. Our ear lier studies suggested that the presence of like-charged residues at the end of a shor t polypeptide chain composed of nonpolar residues could induce a chain reversal. For the U9 pep tide, canonical MD simulations with NMR -derived restraints demonstrated the presence of ensembles of stru ctures with a tendency to form a β -chain reversal. Additionally, thermal stabilities of the peptide und er study were measured using differential scanning calorimetry ( DSC ). The estimated well defined phase transition point showed that conformational equilibria in the U9 pe ptide were strongly dependent on temperature.
