Foldameric probes for membrane interactions by induced β-sheet folding

Chem Commun (Camb). 2016 Jan 31;52(9):1891-4. doi: 10.1039/c5cc09257d.

Abstract

Design strategies were devised for α/β-peptide foldameric analogues of the antiangiogenic anginex with the goal of mimicking the diverse structural features from the unordered conformation to a folded β-sheet in response to membrane interactions. Structure-activity relationships were investigated in the light of different β-sheet folding levels.
