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...

Model peptides containing the 3-sulfanylnorbornene

The properties of the constrained tetrasubstituted 3-sulfanylnorbornene amino acid (NRB), when inserted in Ala-Aib model peptides, were extensively studied. The conformational behaviour of these models was evaluated by theoretical calculations, spectroscopic analyses and by...
