Molecular modeling study for a novel structured oligomer subunit selection: the example of 2-aminomethyl-phenyl-acetic acid
Résumé
Oligomers derived from dipeptide mimics were selected by computational study for their suitability to fold in ordered structures. After selection of a monomeric unit, short oligomers were synthesized and analyzed by NMR and IR. Oligomers built from 2-aminomethyl-phenyl-acetic acid were shown to adopt a helical structure stabilized by 10-membered ring hydrogen bonds
