Conformational switch andmultiple supramolecularstructures of a newly identified self-assembling protein-mimetic peptide from Pseudomonas aeruginosa YeaZ protein

Protein-mimetic peptides (PMPs) are shorter sequences of self-assembling proteins, that represent remarkable building blocks for the generation of bioinspired functional supramolecular structures with multiple applications.The identification of novel aminoacidic sequences that permit the access...

A Non-coded β2,2-Amino Acid with Isoxazoline Core Able to Stabilize Peptides Folding Through an Unprecedented Hydrogen Bond

New peptidomimetics containing a β2,2-isoxazoline amino acid, i.e. 5-(aminomethyl)-3-phenyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazole- 5-carboxylic acid (Isox-β2,2AA), were prepared and studied by NMR and theoretical calculation. Although similar amino acid derivatives have already been prepared via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction,...
