Abstract
The fragments of elastin sequences of mammalian elastic protein elastins like Val-Pro were synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography. The sequence (C22H32N2O5) crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P22121 with the parameters a = 6.2300(5)Å, b = 11.3220(17)Å, c = 32.329(5)Å, V = 2280.4(5)Å3, Z = 4. The final R factor is 0.694. The structure has both intra and intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
