Foldamer

Enhance the Diversity of Secondary Structure in Peptoid Foldamers... 

Constrained y9 -amino acids in which the C(2)-C(3) bond is part of a small ring (5- and 6-membered rings) have been used extensively by GeUman (tra s-2-amino-cycloalkanecarboxyhc acids 33—42) and others (43 and 44) for the preparation of stable y9-peptide foldamers (Fig. 2.7). 

The temperature measurements in range from —40 to 23 °C revealed the presence of conformational equilibrium between conformers of the opposite helicity (M- and P-helix). The barrier of 13 kcal/mol of the chemical exchange was estimated. It was shown that peripheral stereocenters control the absolute sense of helicity in the foldamers studied.103...

Current efforts toward oPE foldamers have focused on developing a computational model that will allow useful predictions of structure. This model was validated by comparing computational results to previously published experimental results [101]. For both crystal structure data and methyl- and hydrogen-series mPEs [25,57], the MMFF molecular mechanics system [102,103]...

The building of a cavity around the guest is an extension of induced fit concept. This is the case with hexokinase enzyme [ 13b] and foldamers [ 13c] that wrap themselves around the guest.
