Abstract
The conformational properties of peptides 1-3 of gamma-aminoxy acids have been investigated by using FT-IR, NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. Diamide 1 consisting of unsubstituted gamma-aminoxy acid cannot form intramolecular hydrogen bond. A novel gamma N-O turn involving a 10-membered-ring intramolecular hydrogen bond between NHi+2 and COi is formed in gamma4-aminoxy peptides 2 and 3. Triamides 3 prefers a new helical structure featuring two consecutive gamma N-O turns. Therefore, gamma4-aminoxy peptides represent new peptidomimetic foldamers.Entities:
