Biphenyl-based unnatural amino acids designed to nucleate Beta-sheet structure and progress towards triphenyl-based non-peptide Alpha-helix mimetics /

The syntheses of 3'-aminoethyl-2-biphenylpropionic acid (1) and 2-amino-3'biphenylcarboxylic acid (2) are described. These residues were designed to nucleate sheet structure in aqueous solution when incorporated into small, amphiphilic peptides in place of the i + I and i + 2 residues of t...
