文摘

Peptidomimetic foldamers α-Aminoxy peptides have been discovered as a novel class of foldamers with potent anticancer activity. A comprehensive investigation of their conformational properties revealed that α-aminoxy peptides can adopt a 2₈-helical conformation. In the presence of liposomes as a model membrane, the most cytotoxic oligomers showed an increased propensity to fold into the 2₈-helix. This indicates that this helical conformation is responsible for the membranolytic activity observed in mode of action studies. For more details see the Full Paper by F. K. Hansen et al. on page 17600 ff.
