Dipeptide Nanotubes Containing Unnatural Fluorine-Substituted β2,3-Diarylamino Acid and L‑Alanine as Candidates for Biomedical Applications

 The synthesis and the structural characterization of dipeptides composed of unnatural fluorine-substituted β2,3-diarylamino acid and L-alanine are reported. Depending on the stereochemistry of the β amino acid, these dipeptides are able to self-assemble into proteolytic stable nanotubes....

1H-Azepine-2-oxo-5-amino-5-carboxylic Acid: A 310 Helix Inducer and an Effective Tool for Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles

A new α,α-disubstituted constrained glutamine analogue has been designed to decorate gold nanoparticles and to induce a 310-helix when inserted in peptides. Using an efficient “one-pot” asymmetric Schmidt reaction between 4-disubstituted-cyclohexanone and hydroxyalkylazides, 1H-azepine-2-oxo-5-amino-5-carboxylic...
