Cyclic γ-amino acids are molecular building blocks of great interest in peptide and foldamer chemistry, as they allow the preparation of new structures that are not found in Nature. In this paper, we describe the synthesis of cyclic γ-amino acids that have a cis relationship between the amino and the carboxylic acid groups. This arrangement, in most cases, induces the resulting peptides to adopt a flat conformation, which makes them appropriate for the design of foldamers that adopt β-sheet-type structures. We describe the synthesis of cyclic γ-amino acids that have a cis relationship between the amino and the carboxylic acid groups. This makes them suitable for the design of foldamers that adopt β-sheet-type structures.

Here we report the preparation and structural characteristics of self-assembling peptide tubelets composed of 32-membered rings formed of alternating cx-amino acids and cis-3-aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acids. The tubelets possess a partial hydrophobic cor

A new class of self-assembling peptides based on cyclic peptides made of alternating 3-aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid (γ-Acc) and α-amino acids is described. The studied cylindrical assemblies are models for a new class of self-assembling peptide nanotub
