## Abstract Metal ions in proteins are important not only for the formation of the proper structures but also for various biological activities. For biological functions such as hydrolysis and oxidation, metal ions often adopt unusual coordination structures. We constructed a stable scaffold for me

Abstract
Significant progress has been made in recent years toward creating interesting, unique, and in some cases, predictable oligopeptoid/polypeptoid secondary, tertiary, and in one case, quaternary structures. This article describes this progress, identifies a few of the many remaining challenges, and discusses potentially interesting or fruitful strategies for the peptoid biomimetics research community. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract The pressure‐induced structural changes of a de novo designed four‐helix bundle protein, (α‐l‐α)~2~, in aqueous solution have been investigated by FTIR spectroscopy. Changes in the amide I' band intensity show that pressure induces disruption of tertiary interactions and stabilizes the
