Abstract
Aromatic amide foldamers with highly predictable conformations possess potential for application in the fields of stereoselective recognition, charge transport and catalysis, whose conformations are commonly limited by the intramolecular hydrogen bonding between amide groups and hydrogen-bonding receptors. Herein, on the basis of the de-shielding effect of carbonyl groups on β-protons, we develop a new method for detecting intramolecular hydrogen bonds of aromatic amide compounds. The solvent-related changes in the βH chemical shifts (Δ(δβH)) and NH chemical shifts (Δ(δNH)) of three kinds of amide compounds, which are frequently used as building blocks of aromatic amide foldamers, were recorded in chloroform, nitromethane, acetonitrile and DMSO. The Δ(δβH) method is found to be highly suitable for studying methoxy-benzamides and fluoro-benzamides in chloroform and DMSO. It is worth noting that a reference compound is not required for applying the Δ(δβH) method, which is an advantage over the Δ(δNH) method. In addition, we extend the Δ(δNH) method from methoxy-benzamides to pyridine-carboxamides and fluoro-benzamides in chloroform and DMSO, and propose that nitromethane and acetonitrile will be possible alternatives for the Δ(δNH) method if a test compound is not soluble in chloroform.

Abstract
Protein complexes are defined by the three-dimensional structure of participating binding partners. Knowledge about these structures can facilitate the design of peptidomimetics which have been applied for example, as inhibitors of protein-protein interactions (PPIs). Even though β-sheets participate widely in PPIs, they have only rarely served as the basis for peptidomimetic PPI inhibitors, in particular when addressing intracellular targets. Here, we present the structure-based design of β-sheet mimetics targeting the intracellular protein β-catenin, a central component of the Wnt signaling pathway. Based on a protein binding partner of β-catenin, a macrocyclic peptide was designed and its crystal structure in complex with β-catenin obtained. Using this structure, we designed a library of bicyclic β-sheet mimetics employing a late-stage diversification strategy. Several mimetics were identified that compete with transcription factor binding to β-catenin and inhibit Wnt signaling in cells. The presented design strategy can support the development of inhibitors for other β-sheet-mediated PPIs.

Abstract
α-Helices often recognize their target proteins at protein–protein interfaces through more than one recognition face. This review describes the state-of-the-art in the design of non-peptidic α-helix mimetics that reproduce functionality from multiple faces of an α-helix.

Abstract
Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are involved at all levels of cellular organization, thus making the development of PPI inhibitors extremely valuable. The identification of selective inhibitors is challenging because of the shallow and extended nature of PPI interfaces. Inhibitors can be obtained by mimicking peptide binding epitopes in their bioactive conformation. For this purpose, several strategies have been evolved to enable a projection of side chain functionalities in analogy to peptide secondary structures, thereby yielding molecules that are generally referred to as peptidomimetics. Herein, we introduce a new classification of peptidomimetics (classes A-D) that enables a clear assignment of available approaches. Based on this classification, the Review summarizes strategies that have been applied for the structure-based design of PPI inhibitors through stabilizing or mimicking turns, β-sheets, and helices.
