An optimal hydrogen-bond surrogate for α-helices

Abstract

Substitution of a main chain ii + 4 hydrogen bond with a covalent bond can nucleate and stabilize the α-helical conformation in peptides. Herein we describe the potential of different alkene isosteres to mimic intramolecular hydrogen bonds and stabilize α-helices in diverse peptide sequences.
