Chemical Ligation of Backbone N‐hydroxylated Peptides
Peptide backbone N‐hydroxylation enables sequence‐agnostic fragment ligation via hydroxamate O‐acyl capture and O→N acyl transfer in water. Broad tolerance of sterically demanding nucleophilic residues is observed, and reductive N─O cleavage restores the native amide bond.

Simple Guanosine—Amino Acid Hybrids as Low Molecular Weight Hydrogelators
Unexplored guanosine‐amino acid derivatives act as low molecular weight hydrogelators. Gelation is triggered by K+ ions and pH changes and relies on G‐quadruplex formation. Small changes in the amino acid structure have a strong impact on the mechanical properties of the gels.

Light‐Induced Anion Translocation to Control Helical Folding in an Artificial Communication System
Anion‐induced helical folding of an oligomer is controlled indirectly and reversibly by light through anion uptake/release by a photoresponsive receptor. Thus, a light signal is processed into a chemical signal in a communication‐type three‐component supramolecular system.

Dynamic Control of Nucleic Acids Self‐Assembly and Expression Using Photoswitches
We review here the recent progress made in the design of molecular photoswitches, and highlight their implementation for the dynamic control over nucleic acids self‐assembly and expression. ABSTRACT Synthetic nucleic acids have become readily available and now constitute versatile building blocks in materials science—where they can be used to engineer ...

Solvent Effects on the Conformational Preferences of 2,6‐Pyridylcarboxamide Foldamers
The marked effect of organic solvents and water/methanol mixtures on the conformational preferences of a soluble chiral foldamer has been established in a diverse array of seventeen distinct environments. ABSTRACT The marked influence of organic solvents and water on the conformational preferences of a chiral, soluble 2,6‐pyridylcarboxamide foldamer ...
