Progress in the de novo design of structured peptoid protein mimics

Biopolymers. 2011;96(5):556-60. doi: 10.1002/bip.21621.

Abstract

Significant progress has been made in recent years toward creating interesting, unique, and in some cases, predictable oligopeptoid/polypeptoid secondary, tertiary, and in one case, quaternary structures. This article describes this progress, identifies a few of the many remaining challenges, and discusses potentially interesting or fruitful strategies for the peptoid biomimetics research community.
