Popis: The combination of the properties of β- and γ-amino acids produce extended artificial fragments that recreate the properties of a natural α-helix. The substitution of two α-helical turns in an otherwise natural coiled-coil motif by a fragment of alternating β and γ-amino acids with retention of global conformation and stability of the fold was established. The new chimeric system shows a high potency in helical quaternary structure formation.
