Hil of a strong peptide! Homoisoleucine (Hil) serves as an effective surrogate for leucine with respect to protein translation in bacterial cells. Replacement of Leu by Hil stabilizes coiled-coil peptides, as shown by the elevation of the thermal denaturation temperature. The increase in denaturation temperature is larger than that observed previously for replacement of Leu by trifluoroleucine.
