Sugar-Modified Foldamers as Conformationally Defined and Biologically Distinct Glycopeptide Mimics
Résumé
To fold or not to fold? It is shown that attached sugars play a defining role in the conformations adopted by a pair of novel SAA-derived foldamers in water and that these differences are reflected in the contrasting interactions of these glycofoldamers with various biological targets.
