Abstract

The fluorinated alcohol 2,2,2-Trifluoroethanol (TFE) has been implemented for many decades now in conformational studies of proteins and peptides. In peptides, which are often disordered in aqueous solutions, TFE acts as secondary structure stabilizer and primarily induces an α -helical conformation. The exact mechanism through which TFE plays its stabilizing roles is still debated and direct and indirect routes, relying either on straight interaction between TFE and molecules or indirect pathways based on perturbation of solvation sphere, have been proposed. Another still unanswered question is the capacity of TFE to favor in peptides a bioactive or a native-like conformation rather than simply stimulate the raise of secondary structure elements that reflect only the inherent propensity of a specific amino-acid sequence. In protein studies, TFE destroys unique protein tertiary structure and often leads to the formation of non-native secondary structure elements, but, interestingly, gives some hints about early folding intermediates. In this review, we will summarize proposed mechanisms of TFE actions. We will also describe several examples, in which TFE has been successfully used to reveal structural properties of different molecular systems, including antimicrobial and aggregation-prone peptides, as well as globular folded and intrinsically disordered proteins.

Keywords: TFE, α-helix, conformational transitions, secondary structure, folding, amyloids, IDPs.
