Abstract

Foldamers stabilised by long-range H-bonding interactions constitute a thoroughly studied class of protein-mimicking materials and are currently attracting considerable interest.[1] There are two major approaches to the modification of natural α-amino acid building blocks: 1) homologation of the amino acid residues (this results in aliphatic β-and gpeptides [2] and aromatic oligoamide foldamers)[3] and 2) replacement of the amide moiety with functional ...
