Constructing synthetic-protein assemblies from de novo designed 310 helices
TLDR
It is shown that despite their absence in nature, synthetic protein-like assemblies can be built from 310 helices, and the rational design, solution-phase characterisation, and an X-ray crystal structure for water-soluble bundles of 310 helics with consolidated hydrophobic cores are reported.
Quantitative helix handedness bias through a single H vs. CH3 stereochemical differentiation.
A novel chiral aromatic δ-amino acid building block was shown to fully induce handedness in quinoline oligoamide foldamers with the possibility of further increasing the bias by combining multiples…

Automated solid-phase concatenation of Aib residues to form long, water-soluble, helical peptides.
Iterative coupling of 2-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib) has been achieved rapidly and efficiently using automated solid-phase peptide synthesis, employing diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC) in the presence of…

This review covers recent developments related to peptidomimetic foldamers with catalytic properties and the principles that have guided their design.
Molecular Recognition by Zn(II)‐Capped Dynamic Foldamers
TLDR
Low solubility, X‐ray crystallography and 1H NMR spectroscopy suggested that interfoldamer interactions inhibited carboxylate binding, but changing solvent to methanol revealed that the end‐to‐end relay of chiral information could be observed for the Zn(II) complex of the BPTA‐capped foldamer at low temperature.

Absolute control of helical handedness in quinoline oligoamides.
TLDR
The synthesis of quinoline-derived helically folded aromatic oligoamides functionalized by various chiral functions at their N-terminus is reported and a rationale for the efficiency of helix handedness induction based on a combination of steric factors and intramolecular hydrogen bonding is proposed.
Chiral information harvesting in dendritic metallopeptides.
TLDR
The remote control of the dynamic chirality of metal centres, coordinated by 2,2'-bipyridine ligands bearing dynamic helical oligopeptides, is reported, and it is shown that when a mixture of chiral and achiral peptide ligands is used, both the chiralities of the metal centre and that of the a chiral oligopePTide helices are significantly amplified.
