Abstract

Small α/γ-peptides alternating α-aminoisobutyric acid and cyclic γ-amino acid residues are described. NMR studies together with restrained simulated annealing revealed that an extended backbone conformation largely dominates in solution for as short as 4-residues long oligomers. This new fold type is devoid of any hydrogen bond and characterized by a four-fold symmetry.
