Abstract
Peptides, generated from α-amino acids, can adopt a number of stable conformations such as the α-helix and β-sheet. In combination these secondary structural units allow a protein to adopt a defined tertiary structure, which can lead to catalytic behaviour. Recent work by Seebach, 1 Gellman 2 and others, 3 as well as earlier studies, 4 has shown that peptides generated from β-amino acids (so called β-peptides) show similar secondary structural characteristics to ...
