Beta-sugar aminoxy peptides as rigid secondary structural scaffolds

J Org Chem. 2008 Dec 5;73(23):9443-6. doi: 10.1021/jo801810z.

Abstract

Short homo-oligomers of a new building block, cis-beta(2,3)-furanoid sugar aminoxy acid, are designed, characterized, and found to exhibit rigid ribbon-like secondary structures composed of 5/7 bifurcated intramolecular hydrogen bonds.
