Conformation design of a fully flexible βII-hairpin analogue

Almost congruent with the natural prototype 1, βII-hairpin mimetic 2 was obtained through rational conformation design. The hydrocarbon backbone of 2 provides optimal preorganization of the hydrogen bond, which is decisive for inducing a β-sheet conformation.
Synthesis of a conformationally flexible β-hairpin mimetic

Rational conformation design led us to a synthesis of the ω-amido-undecenamide 4, which was shown by theoretical means (simulated annealing techniques) and by NMR and IR spectroscopy to have a high tendency to populate a conformation corresponding to a natural β-II′-type hairpin, despite possessing a conformationally fully flexible open-chain backbone.
