Peptide analogs formed by replacing one or more, but not all, amino acids of a peptide chain with 1,2-dihydro-3(6H)-pyridinone, display an unusually strong tendency to assume a &bgr;-strand conformation and to enter into &bgr;-sheet-like interactions with peptides and other peptide analogs that engage in &bgr;-sheet-like interactions with peptides. The peptide analogs of this invention therefore have utility has &bgr;-strand mimics offering advantages over native peptides as well as &bgr;-strand mimics of the prior art.
通过用1,2-二氢-3(6H)-吡啶酮替换肽链中的一个或多个氨基酸(但不是全部),形成的肽类类似物具有异常强的倾向于采用β-折叠构象,并且与肽类和其他参与β-折叠类似相互作用的肽类类似物进行β-折叠类似相互作用。因此,本发明的肽类类似物具有作为β-链拟态体的实用性,优于天然肽和现有技术中的β-链拟态体。
