Abstract:
This study comprehensively explored the helix-stabilizing effects of amine-bearing hydrocarbon cross-links (ABXs), revealing their context-dependent nature influenced by various structural parameters. Notably, we identified a 9-atom ABX as a robust helix stabilizer, showcasing versatile synthetic adaptability while preserving peptide water solubility. Future investigations are imperative to fully exploit this system's potential and enrich our chemical toolkit for designing innovative peptide-based biomolecules.
