## Abstract Incorporation of α,β‐dehydrophenylalanine (ΔPhe) residue in peptides induces folded conformations: β‐turns in short peptides and 3~10~‐helices in larger ones. A few exceptions—namely, α‐helix or flat β‐bend ribbon structures—have also been reported in a few cases. The most favorable con
Interactions between the extracellular matrix and membrane proteins are of importance for cell adhesion, tissue formation, and transmembrane signaling processes. Among cell adhesion molecules, integrins occupy a highly prominent position. Many integrins, among them a 5 b 1 and a V b 3 , recognize th
## Abstract The incporation of β‐amino acid residues into the strand segments of designed β‐hairpin leads to the formation of __polar sheets__, since in the case of β‐peptide strands, all adjacent carbonyl groups point in one direction and the amide groups orient in the opposite direction. The conf
