Abstract

Unraveling the factors that control the conformation of molecular chains is of great interest both for understanding the shape of biological molecular strands and for designing artificial ones that adopt desired forms. Thus, a variety of artificial folding codons have been identified that enforce the formation, among others, of helices, strands, and loops, the major emphasis being on the shape of the foldamer. We report herein the synthesis and study of ...
