Abstract
The extensive research work in the exhilarating area of foldamers (artificial oligomers possessing well-defined conformation in solution) has shown them to be promising candidates in biomedical research and materials science. The post-modification approach is successful in peptides, proteins, and polymers to modulate their functions. To the best of our knowledge, site-selective post-modification of a foldamer affording molecules with different pendant functional groups within a molecular scaffold has not yet been reported. We demonstrate for the first time that late-stage site-selective functionalization of short hybrid oligomers is an efficient approach to afford molecules with diverse functional groups. In this article, we report the design and synthesis of hybrid peptides with repeating units of leucine (Leu) and 5-amino salicylic acid (ASA), regioselective post-modification, conformational analyses (based on solution-state NMR, circular dichroism and computational studies) and morphological studies of the peptide nanostructures. As a proof-of-concept, we demonstrate the applications of differently modified peptides as drug delivery agents, imaging probes, and anticancer agents. The novel feature of the work is that the difference in reactivity of two phenolic OH groups in short biomimetic peptides was utilized to achieve site-selective post-modification. It is challenging to apply the same approach to short α-peptides having a poor folding tendency, and their post-functionalization may considerably affect their conformation.

Abstract
The asymmetric synthesis of β2,2 -amino acids remains a formidable challenge in organic synthesis. Here a novel organocatalytic enantioselective aminomethylation of ketenes with stable and readily available N,O-acetals is reported, providing β2,2 -amino esters bearing an all-carbon quaternary stereogenic center in high enantiomeric ratios with a catalytic amount of chiral phosphoric acid. Typically, this transformation probably proceeds through an asymmetric counter-anion-directed catalysis. As a result, a concise, practical, and atom-economic protocol toward rapidly access to β2,2 -amino acids has been developed.

Abstract
A straightforward multicomponent Knoevenagel-aza-Michael-cyclocondensation reaction involving readily available hydroxamic acid-derived from naturally occurring α-amino acids allows a diversity-oriented synthesis of novel isoxazolidin-5-ones possessing an N-protected α-amino acid pendant with good to high diastereoselectivities thanks to a match effect with a chiral organocatalyst. These diversely substituted heterocycles, easily isolated as a single diastereoisomer, proved to be versatile platforms for the formation of an array of α/β-dipeptide fragments.

Abstract
Peptides have been heavily investigated for their biocompatible and bioactive properties. Though a wide array of functionalities can be introduced by varying the amino acid sequence or by structural constraints, properties such as proteolytic stability, catalytic activity, and phase behavior in solution are difficult or impossible to impart upon naturally occurring α-L-peptides. To this end, sequence-controlled peptidomimetics exhibit new folds, morphologies, and chemical modifications that create new structures and functions. The study of these new classes of polymers, especially α-peptoids, has been highly influenced by the analysis, computational, and design techniques developed for peptides. This review examines techniques to determine primary, secondary, and tertiary structure of peptides, and how they have been adapted to investigate peptoid structure. Computational models developed for peptides have been modified to predict the morphologies of peptoids and have increased in accuracy in recent years. The combination of in vitro and in silico techniques have led to secondary and tertiary structure design principles that mirror those for peptides. We then examine several important developments in peptoid applications inspired by peptides such as pharmaceuticals, catalysis, and protein-binding. A brief survey of alternative backbone structures and research investigating these peptidomimetics shows how the advancement of peptide and peptoid science has influenced the growth of numerous fields of study. As peptide, peptoid, and other peptidomimetic studies continue to advance, we will expect to see higher throughput structural analyses, greater computational accuracy and functionality, and wider application space that can improve human health, solve environmental challenges, and meet industrial needs. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Many historical, chemical, and functional relations draw a thread connecting peptides to their recent cognates, the "peptidomimetics". This review presents a comprehensive survey of this field by highlighting the width and relevance of these familial connections. In the first section, we examine the experimental and computational techniques originally developed for peptides and their morphing into a broader analytical and predictive toolbox. The second section presents an excursus of the structures and properties of prominent peptidomimetics, and how the expansion of the chemical and structural diversity has returned new exciting properties. The third section presents an overview of technological applications and new families of peptidomimetics. As the field grows, new compounds emerge with clear potential in medicine and advanced manufacturing.
