We have examined the effect of β-peptide modifications on the propensity of these helical molecules to form lyotropic liquid crystalline (LC) phases in water. All of the β-peptides we have examined contain 10 residues. In each case, at least three
Proteins and RNA are unique among known polymers in their ability to adopt compact and well-defined folding patterns. These two biopolymers can perform complex chemical operations such as catalysis and highly selective recognition, and these functions are linked to folding
With the aim of an improved understanding of the metal-complexation properties of alicyclic β-amino acid stereoisomers, and their peptides, the complex equilibria and modes of coordination with copper(II) of L-phenylalanine (F) derivatives of cis/trans-2-aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid (c/tACHC), i.e. the dipeptides F-c/tACHC
A series of cyclic peptides containing either cis- or trans-2-aminocyclohexane carboxylic acid as mimics for L-proline has been synthesized and their structural properties have been investigated using NMR and MD methods.

Homo-oligomers constructed by using trans-2-aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid monomers without protecting groups were studied. Both ab initio theory and NMR measurements showed that the tetramer tends to adopt a 10-helix motif, while the pentamer and hexamer form the known 14-helix. It was
