A peptide host that binds a peptide guest affording a beta-sheet structure that subsequently self-assembles : a simple receptor mimic /

A single dibenzofuran template molecule (12) and two tetrapeptides, Val-LysLeu-Lys-dmda, were used to synthesize a host peptide (13) that binds a single tetrapeptide to afford a three-stranded, antiparallel P-sheet structure. Host 13 has an amphiphilic periodicity of two and strongly prefers to bin...
