Abstract
This paper introduces a chemical model of a beta-sheet that dimerizes through parallel beta-sheet interactions in CDCl(3) solution. The model consists of two C-terminally linked dipeptides connected to a molecular template. (1)H NMR studies establish the beta-sheet folding and dimerization of the model system. This system corroborates that linking two peptide strands and blocking one edge of the assembly creates soluble, easy-to-study systems that participate in the types of interactions that occur widely in peptide and protein aggregates.Entities:
