Controlling Helix Formation in the γ‐Peptide Superfamily: Heterogeneous Foldamers with Urea/Amide and Urea/Carbamate Backbones

Abstract

One fold to rule them all: New heterogeneous aliphatic backbone foldamers belonging to the γ-peptide superfamily and containing various combinations of urea/amide (U/A) and urea/carbamate (U/C) units are reported. Structural studies at atomic resolution reveal hydrogen-bonded helical structures akin to that formed by cognate Un homooligomers.
