Abstract
Short peptides featuring a tetrahydropyridazinedione (tpd) backbone tether exhibit reduced conformational flexibility external to the heterocyclic constraint. Analysis by NMR, molecular modeling and X-ray crystallography suggests both covalent and non-covalent stabilization of extended peptide conformations. An efficient solid-phase protocol was developed for the synthesis of a new class of β-strand mimics based on oligomeric tpd subunits.Entities:
