Energetics of Cyclic Dipeptide Crystal Packing and Solvation
Biophysical Journal, 1997 Calculations of the thermodynamics of transfer of the cyclic alanine-alanine (cAA) and glycine-glycine (cGG) dipeptides between the gas, water, and crystal phases were carried out using a combination of molecular mechanics, normal mode analysis, and continuum electrostatics. The experimental gas-to-water solvation free energy and the enthalpy of gas-to-

Biomimetic epoxidation in aqueous media catalyzed by cyclic dipeptides [PDF]
Synthetic Communications, 2016 We have developed a practical epoxidation of electron-deficient enones in aqueous media using cyclic dipeptides as bioinspired green catalyst. Optimizing the reaction conditions in a triphasic system led to efficient conditions providing epoxides with good enantioselectivities.
