This communication describes the folding propensity of a heterofoldamer motif featuring proline (Pro) and anthranilic acid (Ant) residues in a 1 : 2 : 1 (α : β : α) constitutional ratio. Structural investigations unequivocally suggest that the hydrogen-bonding network of this foldamer motif can be switched between 9-membered and 6-membered by modulating the backbone chirality and constitutional ratio of the amino acid residues.
这篇通讯描述了一种异折叠器图案的折叠倾向,该图案以脯
氨酸(Pro)和
蚁酸(Ant)残基为特征,两者的结构比为 1 : 2 :1 : 2 : 1 (α : β : α) 的结构比例。结构研究明确表明,通过调节
氨基酸残基的骨架手性和构型比例,该折叠器图案的氢键网络可以在 9 元和 6 元之间切换。
