Self-assembly of minimal peptoid sequences [PDF]
ACS Macro Letters, 2020 Peptoids are biofunctional N-substituted glycine peptidomimics. Their self-assembly is of fundamental interest because they demonstrate alternatives to conventional peptide structures based on backbone chirality and beta-sheet hydrogen bonding.

Designable and dynamic single-walled stiff nanotubes assembled from sequence-defined peptoids
Nature Communications, 2018 The application potential of organic nanotubes is currently limited by their lack of designable or dynamic properties. Here, Chen et al. use sequence-defined peptoids to assemble a new family of pH-responsive stiff nanotubes whose dimensions, components ...

Water-Soluble Peptoids with Two Different Binding Sites for Strong ATP Chelation. [PDF]
ChemistryATP is key for activating enzymes associated with cancer. A potential therapeutic approach is strong binding of ATP, making it unavailable to enzymes. The water‐soluble peptoid P1‐TB incorporates two synergistic binding sites for ATP: terpyridine‐Zn²⁺ and 4‐CPBA that bind ATP's phosphate and diol groups, respectively, and exhibits an exceptional Kᴅ‐ATP
