A readily applicable strategy to convert peptides to peptoid-based therapeutics. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Incorporation of unnatural amino acids and peptidomimetic residues into therapeutic peptides is highly efficacious and commonly employed, but generally requires laborious trial-and-error approaches.

Backbone Steric Constraints Underlie High Passive Membrane Permeability of N‐Alkyl Peptides
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Beyond amide hydrogen removal, steric constraints encoded in N/Cα‐dually substituted backbones are uncovered as a key determinant of passive membrane permeability in N‐alkyl peptides. These constraints restrict conformational freedom and sterically limit backbone hydration during membrane permeation.

Borylcyclopropanes: Synthetic Strategies and Applications
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Borylcyclopropanes (cyclopropanes bearing a boron substituent) sit at the intersection of two privileged frameworks in synthesis. This review provides the first exhaustive survey of their chemistry, spanning metal–carbene, nucleophilic cyclization, radical, hydroboration, and C─H activation routes, and documenting applications in medicinal chemistry ...

Azole γ‐Peptides Helix Switching via Heterocycle Substitutions
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Heterocycle substitution in azole‐based γ‐amino acids enables control over the helical shape of heterocyclic γ‐peptides. S↔N permutation in thiazole residues switches a canonical 9‐helix into a flexible helix exhibiting discontinuous hydrogen bonding.

Peptides and peptidomimetics as prototypes [PDF]
Current Opinion in Chemical Biology, 2008 Since the unraveling of the structure of the α-helix [1] and β-sheet [2] by smart modeling, the use of peptides and their mimetics has been a highly fruitful approach that continues to attract natural scientists. These molecules occupy a privileged place in chemical biology, being both readily accessible via chemical synthesis and directly relevant to ...

Isocyanide-based multicomponent reactions towards cyclic constrained peptidomimetics
Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2014 In the recent past, the design and synthesis of peptide mimics (peptidomimetics) has received much attention. This because they have shown in many cases enhanced pharmacological properties over their natural peptide analogues.
