Peptoid helicity modulation: precise control of peptoid secondary structures via position-specific placement of chiral monomers

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 May 4;50(34):4465-8. doi: 10.1039/c3cc49373c. Epub 2014 Mar 24.

Abstract

The degree of peptoid helicity can be effectively modulated by position-specific incorporation of α-chiral aromatic monomers. In this study, we report the structural role of each monomer position collected from 30 comprehensive model peptoid oligomers demonstrating a meticulous manner to fine-tune peptoid secondary structures.
