Abstract
The bulky dehydroamino acids dehydrovaline (ΔVal) and dehydroethylnorvaline (ΔEnv) can be inserted into the turn regions of β-hairpin peptides without altering their secondary structures. These residues increase proteolytic stability, with ΔVal at the (i + 1) position having the most substantial impact. Additionally, a bulky dehydroamino acid can be paired with a d-amino acid (i.e., d-Pro) to synergistically enhance resistance to proteolysis. A link between proteolytic stability and peptide structure is established by the finding that a stabilized ΔVal-containing β-hairpin is more highly folded than its Asn-containing congener.

Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is one of the most widely used analytical techniques in numerous domains where molecules are objects of investigation. However, major limitations of multidimensional NMR experiments come from their low sensitivity and from the long times needed for their acquisition. In order to overcome such limitations, fast repetition NMR techniques allowed for the reduction of 2D experimental time and for the conversion of the gained time into a higher number of scans leading to a better sensitivity. Thus, fast repetition 2D heteronuclear NMR techniques have allowed new advances in NMR, especially to access infomation on low abundant nuclei, to enhance the detection of low concentrated compounds and to probe weak interactions like hydrogen bonds at natural abundance.

Abstract
The interaction of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) with biological membranes is in the focus of research since several years, and the most important features and modes of action of AMPs are described in this review. Different model systems can be used to understand such interactions on a molecular level. As a special example, we use 2D and 3D model membranes to investigate the interaction of the natural cyclic (Ar-1) and the synthetic linear molecule arenicin with selected amphiphiles and phospholipids. A panoply of sophisticated methods has been used to analyze these interactions on a molecular level. As a general trend, one observes that cationic antimicrobial peptides do not interact with cationic amphiphiles due to electrostatic repulsion, whereas with non-ionic amphiphiles, the peptide interacts only with aggregated systems and not with monomers. The interaction is weak (hydrophobic interaction) and requires an aggregated state with a large surface (cylindrical micelles). Anionic amphiphiles (as monomers or micelles) exhibit strong electrostatic interactions with the AMPs leading to changes in the peptide conformation. Both types of peptides interact strongly with anionic phospholipid monolayers with a preference for fluid layers. The interaction with a zwitterionic layer is almost absent for the linear derivative but measurable for the cyclic arenicin Ar-1. This is in accordance with biological experiments showing that Ar-1 forms well defined stable pores in phospholipid and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) membranes (cytotoxicity). The synthetic linear arenicin, which is less cytotoxic, does not affect the mammalian lipids to such an extent. The interaction of arenicin with bacterial membrane lipids is dominated by hydrogen bonding together with electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions.

Abstract
The application of six novel α,β-dipeptides as chiral organocatalysts in the asymmetric Michael addition reaction between enolizable aldehydes and N-arylmaleimides or nitroolefins is described. With N-arylmaleimides as substrates, the best results were achieved with dipeptide 2 as a catalyst in the presence of aq. NaOH. Whereas dipeptides 4 and 6 in conjunction with 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) and thiourea as a hydrogen bond donor proved to be highly efficient organocatalytic systems in the enantioselective reaction between isobutyraldehyde and various nitroolefins.

Abstract
Many therapeutically-relevant protein-protein interactions (PPIs) have been reported that feature a helix and helix-binding cleft at the interface. Given this, different approaches to disrupting such PPIs have been developed. While short peptides (<15 amino acids) typically do not fold into a stable helix, researchers have reported chemical approaches to constraining helix structure. However, these approaches rely on laborious, and often expensive, chemical synthesis and purification. Our premise is that protein-based solutions that stabilize a therapeutically-relevant helix offer a number of advantages. In contrast to chemically constrained helical peptides, or minimal/miniature proteins, which must be synthesized (at great expense and labor), a protein can be expressed in a cellular system (like all current protein therapeutics). If selected properly, the protein scaffold can stabilize the therapeutically-relevant helix. We recently reported a protein engineering strategy, which we call "helix-grafted display", and applied it to the challenge of suppressing HIV entry. We have reported helix-grafted display proteins that inhibit formation of an intramolecular PPI involving HIV gp41 C-peptide helix, and HIV gp41 N-peptide trimer, which contain C-peptide helix-binding clefts. Here, we used yeast display to screen a library of grafted C-peptide helices for N-peptide trimer recognition. Using 'hits' from yeast display library screening, we evaluated the effect helix mutations have on structure, expression, stability, function (target recognition), and suppression of HIV entry.

Abstract
Organic nanotubes, as assembled nanospaces, in which to carry out host-guest chemistry, reversible binding of smaller species for transport, sensing, storage or chemical transformation purposes, are currently attracting substantial interest, both as biological ion channel mimics, or for addressing tailored material properties. Nature's materials and machinery are universally asymmetric, and, for chemical entities, controlled asymmetry comes from chirality. Together with carbon nanotubes, conformationally stable molecular building blocks and macrocycles have been used for the realization of organic nanotubes, by means of their assembly in the third dimension. In both cases, chiral properties have started to be fully exploited to date. In this paper, we review recent exciting developments in the synthesis and assembly of chiral nanotubes, and of their functional properties. This review will include examples of either molecule-based or macrocycle-based systems, and will try and rationalize the supramolecular interactions at play for the three-dimensional (3D) assembly of the nanoscale architectures.

Abstract
New types of foldamer scaffolds are formidably challenging to design and synthesize, yet highly desirable as structural mimics of peptides/proteins with a wide repertoire of functions. In particular, the development of peptidomimetic helical foldamers holds promise for new biomaterials, catalysts, and drug molecules. Unnatural l-sulfono-γ-AApeptides were recently developed and shown to have potential applications in both biomedical and material sciences. However, d-sulfono-γ-AApeptides, the enantiomers of l-sulfono-γ-AApeptides, have never been studied due to the lack of high-resolution three-dimensional structures to guide structure-based design. Herein, we report the first synthesis and X-ray crystal structures of a series of 2:1 l-amino acid/d-sulfono-γ-AApeptide hybrid foldamers, and elucidate their folded conformation at the atomic level. Single-crystal X-ray crystallography indicates that this class of oligomers folds into well-defined right-handed helices with unique helical parameters. The helical structures were consistent with data obtained from solution 2D NMR, CD studies, and molecular dynamics simulations. Our findings are expected to inspire the structure-based design of this type of unique folding biopolymers for biomaterials and biomedical applications.

Abstract
Cyclic oligomers of azole peptides were isolated from a multitude of marine organisms and were used for a large number of molecular machines. As shown previously, oligomers derived from achiral imidazole amino acids fold into canonical helices. Here we show that a minor change, the introduction of a methyl group in the δ position, results in a significant change in the secondary structure of the corresponding oligomers. Instead of a canonical helix, a noncanonical herringbone helix is formed. In the latter, the slope along the helix changes its sign at least twice per turn. This strategy allows a remarkable change of the secondary structure via a small modification. By means of enantiomerically pure amino acids, we were able to control, for the first time, both the helicity of the helix and the form of the herringbone. The investigation of the underlying herringbone basic element and its folding to a noncanonical helix were conducted by NMR and CD spectroscopy, as well as by X-ray crystallography and quantum chemical calculations.

Abstract
A series of three short oligomers (di-, tri-, and tetramers) of cis-2-(aminomethyl)cyclobutane carboxylic acid, a γ-amino acid featuring a cyclobutane ring constraint, were prepared, and their conformational behavior was examined spectroscopically and by molecular modeling. In dilute solutions, these peptides showed a number of low-energy conformers, including ribbonlike structures pleated around a rarely observed series of intramolecular seven-membered hydrogen bonds. In more concentrated solutions, these interactions defer to an organized supramolecular assembly, leading to thermoreversible organogel formation notably for the tripeptide, which produced fibrillar xerogels. In the solid state, the dipeptide adopted a fully extended conformation featuring a one-dimensional network of intermolecularly H-bonded molecules stacked in an antiparallel sheet alignment. This work provides unique insight into the interplay between inter- and intramolecular H-bonded conformer topologies for the same peptide template.

Abstract
Emerging protein design strategies are enabling the creation of diverse, self-assembling supramolecular structures with precision on the atomic scale. The design possibilities include various types of architectures: finite cages or shells, essentially unbounded two-dimensional and three-dimensional arrays (i.e., crystals), and linear or tubular filaments. In nature, structures of those types are generally symmetric, and, accordingly, symmetry provides a powerful guide for developing new design approaches. Recent design studies have produced numerous protein assemblies in close agreement with geometric specifications. For certain design approaches, a complete list of allowable symmetry combinations that can be used for construction has been articulated, opening a path to a rich diversity of geometrically defined protein materials. Future challenges include improving and elaborating on current strategies and endowing designed protein nanomaterials with properties useful in nanomedicine and material science applications.

Abstract
Novel helical, structures unprecedented in the chemistry of α-polypeptides, may be found in polypeptides containing β and γ amino acids. The structural characterization of C12 and C14 -helices in oligo β-peptides was originally achieved using conformationally constrained cyclic β-residues. This study explores the conformational characteristics of proteinogenic β3 residues in homooligomeric sequences and addresses the issue of inducing a transition between C14 and C12 helices by the introduction of a guest α-residue. Folded C14 -helical structures are demonstrated for the nonapeptide Boc-[β3 (R)Val]9 -OMe by NMR methods in CDCl3 -DMSO mixtures, while the peptide was found to be aggregated in CDCl3 . The insertion of a guest Aib residue into an oligo-β-valine sequence in the octapeptide model Boc-[(β3 (R)Val)3 -Aib-(β3 (R)Val]4 -OMe results in well dispersed NH region in the NMR spectrum indicating folded structures in CDCl3 . Structure calculations for both the peptides using NOE distance constraints support a C14 helical structure in the homooligomer which transform into a C12 helix on introduction of the guest Aib residue.

Abstract
In the absence of macrocyclic ring constraints, few synthetic systems, possessing a mostly solvent-independent well-folded conformation that is predisposed for highly selective and high affinity recognition of metal ions, have been demonstrated. We report here such a unique class of conformationally robust modularly tunable folding molecules termed foldarands that can recognize Hg2+ ions surprisingly well over 22 other metal ions. Despite the lack of sulfur atoms and having only oxygen-donor atoms in its structure, the best foldarand molecule, i.e., tetramer 4, exhibits a selectivity factor of at least 19 in differentiating the most tightly bound Hg2+ ion from all other metal ions, and a binding capacity that is ≥18 times that of thio-crown ethers. These two noteworthy binding characters make possible low level removal of Hg2+ ions. With a [4]:[Hg2+] molar ratio of 5:1 and a single biphasic solvent extraction, the concentration of Hg2+ ions could be reduced drastically by 98% (from 200 to 4 ppb) in pure water. 4 could also effect a highly efficient reduction in mercury content by 98% (from 500 to 10 ppb) in artificial groundwater via multiple successive extractions with an overall consumption of 4 being 9:1 in terms of [4]:[Hg2+] molar ratio.

Abstract
Understanding how antimicrobial peptidomimetics interact with lipid membranes is important in battling multidrug resistant bacterial pathogens. We study the effects of a recently reported peptidomimetic on lipid bilayer structural and mechanical properties. The compound referred to as E107-3 is synthesized based on the acylated reduced amide scaffold and has been shown to exhibit good antimicrobial potency. Our vesicle leakage assay indicates that the compound increases lipid bilayer permeability. We use micropipette aspiration to explore the kinetic response of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs). Exposure to the compound causes the GUV protrusion length LP to spontaneously increase and then decrease, followed by GUV rupture. Solution atomic force microscopy (AFM) is used to visualize lipid bilayer structural modulation within a nanoscopic regime. Unlike melittin, which produces pore-like structures, the peptidomimetic compound is found to induce nanoscopic heterogeneous structures. Finally, we use AFM-based force spectroscopy to study the impact of the compound on lipid bilayer mechanical properties. We find that incremental addition of the compound to planar lipid bilayers results in a moderate decrease of the bilayer puncture force FP and a 39% decrease of the bilayer area compressibility modulus KA. To explain our experimental data, we propose a membrane interaction model encompassing disruption of lipid chain packing and extraction of lipid molecules. The later action mode is supported by our observation of a double-bilayer structure in the presence of fusogenic calcium ions.

Abstract
In recent years there has been increasing interest in nanostructure design based on the self-assembly properties of proteins and polymers. Nanodesign requires the ability to predictably manipulate the properties of the self-assembly of autonomous building blocks, which can fold or aggregate into preferred conformational states. The design includes functional synthetic materials and biological macromolecules. Autonomous biological building blocks with available 3D structures provide an extremely rich and useful resource. Structural databases contain large libraries of protein molecules and their building blocks with a range of sizes, shapes, surfaces, and chemical properties. The introduction of engineered synthetic residues or short peptides into these building blocks can greatly expand the available chemical space and enhance the desired properties. Herein, we summarize a protocol for designing nanostructures consisting of self-assembling building blocks, based on our recent works. We focus on the principles of nanostructure design with naturally occurring proteins and synthetic amino acids, as well as hybrid materials made of amyloids and synthetic polymers.

C-3 epimers of sugar amino acids as foldameric building blocks: improved synthesis, useful derivatives, coupling strategies. Amino Acids 2016; 49:223-240. [PMID: 27803987 DOI: 10.1007/s00726-016-2346-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2016] [Accepted: 10/04/2016] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
To obtain key sugar derivatives for making homooligomeric foldamers or α/β-chimera peptides, economic and multigram scale synthetic methods were to be developed. Though described in the literature, the cost-effective making of both 3-amino-3-deoxy-ribofuranuronic acid (H-t X-OH) and its C-3 epimeric stereoisomer, the 3-amino-3-deoxy-xylofuranuronic acid (H-c X-OH) from D-glucose is described here. The present synthetic route elaborated is (1) appropriate for large-scale synthesis; (2) reagent costs reduced (e.g. by a factor of 400); (3) yields optimized are ~80% or higher for all six consecutive steps concluding -t X- or -c X- and (4) reaction times shortened. Thus, a new synthetic route step-by-step optimized for yield, cost, time and purification is given both for D-xylo and D-ribo-amino-furanuronic acids using sustainable chemistry (e.g. less chromatography with organic solvents; using continuous-flow reactor). Our study encompasses necessary building blocks (e.g. -X-OMe, -X-OiPr, -X-NHMe, Fmoc-X-OH) and key coupling reactions making -Aaa-t X-Aaa- or -Aaa-t X-t X-Aaa- type "inserts". Completed for both stereoisomers of X, including the newly synthesized Fmoc-c X-OH, producing longer oligomers for drug design and discovery is more of a reality than a wish.

Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated that amidic α/β-pseudodipeptides, 1:1 [α/α-Nα-Bn-hydrazino], have the ability to fold via a succession of γ-turn (C7 pseudocycle) and hydrazinoturn in CDCl3 solution, their amide terminals enabling the formation of an intramolecular H-bond network. Despite their lack of a primary amide terminals allowing the formation of the hydrazinoturn, their ester counterparts 1-4 were proven to self-assemble into C6 and C7 pseudocycles by intramolecular H-bonds in solution state and into an uncommon twisted parallel β-sheet through intermolecular H-bonding in the crystal state to form a supramolecular helix, with eight molecules needed to complete a full 360° rotation. Such self-organization (with eight molecules) has only been observed in a specific α/α-pseudodipeptide, depsipeptide (Boc-Leu-Lac-OEt). Relying on IR absorption, NMR, X-ray diffraction, and CD analyses, the aim of this study was to demonstrate that stereoisomers of ester 1:1 [α/α-Nα-Bn-hydrazino] pseudodipeptides 1-4 are able to self-assemble into this β-helical structure. The absolute configuration of the asymmetric Cα-atom of the α-amino acid residue influences the left- or right-handed twist without changing the pitch of the formed helix.

Abstract
The modulation of the hierarchical nucleated self-assembly of tri-β(3) -peptides has been studied. β(3) -Tyrosine provided a handle to control the assembly process through host-guest interactions with CB[7] and CB[8]. By varying the cavity size from CB[7] to CB[8] distinct phases of assembling tri-β(3) -peptides were arrested. Given the limited size of the CB[7] cavity, only one aromatic β(3) -tyrosine can be simultaneously hosted and, hence, CB[7] was primarily acting as an inhibitor of self-assembly. In strong contrast, the larger CB[8] can form a ternary complex with two aromatic amino acids and hence CB[8] was acting primarily as cross-linker of multiple fibers and promoting the formation of larger aggregates. General insights on modulating supramolecular assembly can lead to new ways to introduce functionality in supramolecular polymers.

Abstract
Calmodulin is a representative calcium-binding protein comprised of four Ca2+ -binding motifs with a helix-loop-helix structure (EF-hands). In this study, we clarified the potential of peptide segments derived from the third and fourth EF-hands (EF3 and EF4) to act as recognition tags. Through an analysis of the mode of disulfide formation among cysteines inserted at the N- or C-terminus of these peptide segments, EF3 and EF4 peptides were suggested to form a heterodimer with a topology similar to that in the wild-type protein. Heterodimer formation was shown to be a function of the Ca2+ concentration, suggesting that these structures may be used as Ca2+ -switchable recognition tags. An example of an "EF-tag" system involving the membrane fusion of liposomes decorated with EF3 and EF4 peptides is presented. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Biopolymers (Pept Sci), 2016.

Abstract
There is a lack of functional group diversity in the reverse turn motifs nucleating a β-sheet conformation in designed peptides, proteins and foldamers. The majority of these sequences consist of d-Pro-l-Pro, d-Pro-Gly or Asn-Gly as the turn inducing motif restricting their biological application and physicochemical modulation. In this report, for the first time we elucidate that N-methylation of heterochiral amino acids in linear peptides nucleates β-sheet conformation without the necessity of having a ring or covalent constraint at the reverse turn. Our results show that d-Pro can be conveniently substituted by any other N-methylated d-amino acid followed by an N-methylated l-amino acid or sarcosine to adopt a βII' turn inducing the β-sheet folding. Furthermore, we reveal that a single amino acid either at the i + 1 or i + 2 site of the reverse turn can modulate the right-handed twist, which eventually dictates the extent of the foldedness of the β-hairpin.

Abstract
Over the past decade, foldamers have progressively emerged as useful architectures to mimic secondary structures of proteins. Peptidic foldamers, consisting of various amino acid based backbones, have been the most studied from a therapeutic perspective, while polyaromatic foldamers have barely evolved from their nascency and remain perplexing for medicinal chemists due to their poor drug-like nature. Despite these limitations, this compound class may still offer opportunities to study challenging targets or provide chemical biology tools. The potential of foldamer drug candidates reaching the clinic is still a stretch. Nevertheless, advances in the field have demonstrated their potential for the discovery of next generation therapeutics. In this perspective, the current knowledge of foldamers is reviewed in a drug discovery context. Recent advances in the early phases of drug discovery including hit finding, target validation, and optimization and molecular modeling are discussed. In addition, challenges and focus areas are debated and gaps highlighted.

Abstract
Helical peptide foldamer catalyzed Michael addition reactions of nitroalkane or dialkyl malonate to α,β-unsaturated ketones are reported along with the mechanistic considerations of the enantio-induction. A wide variety of α,β-unsaturated ketones, including β-aryl, β-alkyl enones, and cyclic enones, were found to be catalyzed by the helical peptide to give Michael adducts with high enantioselectivities (up to 99%). On the basis of X-ray crystallographic analysis and depsipeptide study, the amide protons, N(2)-H and N(3)-H, at the N terminus in the α-helical peptide catalyst were crucial for activating Michael donors, while the N-terminal primary amine activated Michael acceptors through the formation of iminium ion intermediates.

Abstract
We report the solid phase synthesis of -GG-X-GG- type α/β-carbopeptoids incorporating RibAFU(ip) (1a, tX) or XylAFU(ip) (2a, cX) sugar amino acids. Though coupling efficacy is moderate, both the lengthier synthetic route using Fmoc derivative (e.g., Fmoc-RibAFU(ip)-OH) and the azido derivative (e.g., N3-RibAFU(ip)-OH) via Staudinger reaction with nBu3P can be successfully applied. Both X-ray diffraction, 1H- and 31P-NMR, and theoretical (QM) data support and explain why the application of Ph3P as Staudinger reagent is "ineffective" in the case of a cis stereoisomer, if cX is attached to the preceding residue with a peptide (-CONH-) bond. The failure of the polypeptide chain elongation with N3-cX originates from the "coincidence" of a steric crowdedness and an electronic effect disabling the mandatory nucleophilic attack during the hydrolysis of a quasi penta-coordinated triphenylphosphinimine. Nevertheless, the synthesis of the above α/β-chimera peptides as completed now by a new pathway via 1,2-O-isopropylidene-3-azido-3-deoxy-ribo- and -xylo-furanuronic acid (H-RibAFU(ip)-OH 1a and H-XylAFU(ip)-OH 2a) coupled with N-protected α-amino acids on solid phase could serve as useful examples and starting points of further synthetic efforts.
