Li group published article on Chemical Communications about a study of a proline-derived transannular N-cap for nucleation of short α-helical peptides
We report herein a proline-derived transannular N-cap as a helix nucleating template in diverse bio-related peptide sequences via macrolactamization on resin. This approach takes advantage of synergistic stabilization effects of both N-capping properties of proline and substitution of a main chain hydrogen bond with a covalent bond.
