β¦ Synopsis
The high-yielding cyanoethylation Β± hydrogenation strategy was used to prepare simple AB 2 monomers from natural amino acids. Third-generation peptide dendrimers were assembled from these monomers on a polyethylene glycol (PEG) resin by standard Boc peptide coupling methods. Preliminary conformational studies were conducted on these chiral peptide dendrimers by size-exclusion chromatography, optical activity measurements, and investigation of the solid-state properties. These peptide dendrimers have potential applications as drug-delivery agents, asymmetric catalysts, peptido-and protein mimetics, and new biomaterials.

An unnatural peptide-based library, bound on a solid support, was screened for double-stranded-DNA (dsDNA)-binding ligands. For this purpose, fluorescein and rhodamine were used to label the single-stranded oligodeoxynucleotides. Beads containing products with affinity to dsDNA turned red in visible
