## Abstract A new selfβassembling bolaamphiphilic peptide has been designed and synthesized using only natural amino acids. This simple peptide is composed of two lysines connected by 4β8 alanines to maintain the characteristics of the traditional bolaamphiphiles. Based on an irregular secondary st
## Abstract Unnatural amino acids are effective as building blocks to design functional peptides from the following two points: (1) utilization of rigid unnatural amino acids for the incorporated peptides to control the conformation to appear the function, and (2) incorporation of functional and un
A series of model peptides containing a-trifluoromethyl-substituted amino acids in five different positions relative to the predominant cleavage site of the serine protease a-chymotrypsin was synthesized by solution methods to investigate the influence of a-Tfm substitution on the proteolytic stabil
