QSAR Modelling of Peptidomimetic Derivatives towards HKU4-CoV 3CLpro Inhibitors against MERS-CoV
In this paper, we report the relationship between the anti-MERS-CoV activities of the HKU4 derived peptides for some peptidomimetic compounds and various descriptors using the quantitative structure activity relationships (QSAR) methods.

1,2,3-Triazoles as Biomimetics in Peptide Science
Natural peptides are an important class of chemical mediators, essential for most vital processes. What limits the potential of the use of peptides as drugs is their low bioavailability and enzymatic degradation in vivo.

Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) mediates VEGFA signaling mainly through the PI3K/AKT/mTOR and PLCγ/ERK1/2 pathways. Here we unveil a peptidomimetic (VGB3) based on the interaction between VEGFB and VEGFR1 that unexpectedly binds ...

Multicomponent synthesis of artificial nucleases and their RNase and DNase activity
The synthesis of new, artificial ribonucleases containing two amino acid residues connected by an aliphatic linker has been developed. Target molecules were synthesized via a catalytic three-component Ugi reaction from aliphatic diisocyanides ...

Sequence Changes Modulate Peptoid Self-Association in Water
Peptoids, N-substituted glycine oligomers, are a class of diverse and sequence-specific peptidomimetics with wide-ranging applications. Advancing the functional repertoire of peptoids to emulate native peptide and protein functions requires engineering ...

Nano-G<sub>s</sub> Protein Peptidomimetics: Rational Design of Gα C-Terminus-Derived Peptides Mimicking Key Components of G<sub>s</sub>-β<sub>2</sub>AR Interactions. [PDF]
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are major therapeutic targets. Modulating GPCR activity through intracellular sites is evolving. A structure‐ and computation‐assisted approach generated small G protein‐derived peptidomimetics targeting the intracellular binding crevice of the β2 adrenergic receptor mimicking features of the full G protein.
