Abstract

Many natural biomacromolecules are homochiral and are built from constituents possessing identical handedness. The construction of synthetic molecules, macromolecules, and supramolecular structures with tailored stereochemical sequences can detail the relationship between chirality and function and provide insight into the process that leads to the selection of handedness and amplification of chirality. Dendritic dipeptides, previously ...
