Abstract

Relevant parameters and stereochemical consequences of helices [α‐helix, 3~10~‐helix, β‐bend ribbon spiral, γ‐helix, 2.0~5~‐helix, poly(Pro)~n~ type‐I and ‐II helices, and collagen triple helix] of peptides based on α‐amino acids for use as templates in various branches of chemistry are briefly discussed. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

It was previously found that a cationic amphiphilic peptide, Ac-(Leu-Ala-Arg-Leu) 3 -NHCH 3 (4 3 ), caused the destabilization of a phospholipid membrane and showed strong antibacterial activity [Lee et al. Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1986; 862: 211 -219]. In order to investigate the effect of changing h

## Abstract Stereochemical studies predict that α‐amino isobutyric acid, one of the amino acids found in antibiotics, can fold only into left‐ or righthanded α‐helical conformations. Such residues will direct chain folding and should be useful in synthetic analogs of protein sequences to increase h

## Abstract C^α^‐tetrasubstituted α‐amino acids constitute a powerful tool for controlling the conformation of short peptide sequences. Chiral peptides may be used in stereoselective reactions both for asymmetric induction and in kinetic resolution. By reviewing recent data from our own laboratorie
