Abstract

Protein surface-directed agents have been widely investigated due to their potential for application in pharmacology 1 and biosensing. 2 Recent work in proteomimetics 3 has included the development of robust methodologies for targeting of large protein surfaces by synthetic macromolecules, 3a–c miniature proteins, 3d–f and nucleic acid-based scaffolds such as quadruplexes 3g and aptamers. 3h However, the synthetic introduction of further structural diversity into large ...
