Secondary structure in oligomers of carbohydrate amino acids

Abstract

Short oligomeric chains of tetrahydrofuran amino acids exhibit a novel repeating β-turn type secondary structure in solution stabilised by hydrogen bonds and provide clear evidence that carbopeptoids will allow control of conformation in peptidomimetics.
