We present the synthesis and structural study of a new peptidomimetic of morphiceptin, which can formally be considered as the result of the replacement of the central proline residue of this natural analgesic drug with a subunit of (1S,2R,3S,4S,5R)-2 ...

Peptidomimetic building blocks for the synthesis of sulfonamide peptoids
There is a constant demand for novel building blocks for combinatorial chemistry applications. A one-pot synthesis of a novel class of peptidomimetic building blocks to be used for the preparation of sulfonamide peptoids, is presented here.

We present a foldamer strategy to downsize the histone H3‐H4 quaternary structure into high‐affinity, medium‐sized binders (∼2 kDa) for the histone chaperone ASF1. Our peptide‐oligourea chimeras, designed through structure‐guided optimization and foldamer chemistry, recapitulate the natural H3‐H4 dimer binding mode while demonstrating plasma stability ...

Strategies for the Development of Conotoxins as New Therapeutic Leads
Peptide toxins typically bind to their target ion channels or receptors with high potency and selectivity, making them attractive leads for therapeutic development. In some cases the native peptide as it is found in the venom from which it originates can

Abstract Electrostatic interactions play a crucial role in protein structure, stability, and function. We present Bluues2, a significantly enhanced web server for calculating electrostatic properties of proteins using the Generalized Born model. The new version features improved accuracy through refined GB radius calculations using NanoShaper for ...

Solid-Phase Synthesis of Peptidomimetic Inhibitors for the Hepatitis C Virus NS3 Protease
The NS3 serine protease enzyme of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is essential for viral replication. Short peptides mimicking the N-terminal substrate cleavage products of the NS3 protease are known to act as weak inhibitors of the enzyme and have been used

Targeting protein–protein interactions with reversible covalent modalities: Non‐cysteine chemistries
Abstract Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) are central to diverse cellular functions, and represent a rapidly expanding class of therapeutic targets. Advancements in covalent drug design have enabled small‐molecule drugs to overcome challenges associated with engaging these targets, such as limited durations of action and difficult‐to‐drug (expansive,

Synthesis of a novel tricyclic peptidomimetic Scaffold
An efficient method to synthesize a novel rigid tricyclic peptidomimetic scaffold through ring-closure of amino-functionalized bicyclic 2-pyridones has been discovered.
