Abstract
Lipophilic peptide derivatives 1 - 3 proved to complex with amines in chlor oform in 1:1 ratio allowing distinct color change. Peptide 3 as compared wi th 2 indicated strikingly greater binding affinity, suggesting the importan ce of subtle modulation in hydrogen-bonded secondary structure of peptide c hains in nonpolar solvent.
