Abstract
Considerable effort has been directed toward developing artificial peptide-based foldamers. However, detailed structural analysis of δ-peptide foldamers consisting of only aliphatic δ-amino acids has not been reported. Herein, we rationally designed and stereoselectively synthesized aliphatic homo-δ-peptides forming a stable helical structure by using a chiral cyclopropane δ-amino acid as a monomer unit. Structural analysis of the homo-δ-peptides using circular dichroism, infrared, and NMR spectroscopy indicated that they form a stable 14-helical structure in solution. Furthermore, we successfully conducted X-ray crystallographic analysis of the homo-δ-peptides, demonstrating a right-handed 14-helical structure. This helical structure of the crystal was consistent with those predicted by theoretical calculations and those obtained based on NMR spectroscopy in solution. This stable helical structure is due to the effective restriction of the backbone conformation by the structural characteristics of cyclopropane. This work reports the first example of aliphatic homo-δ-peptide foldamers having a stable helical structure both in the solution and crystal states.

Abstract
A new class of peptidomimetic is reported in which one of the amide C=O bonds of the peptide backbone is replaced by an oxetane ring. They are synthesised by conjugate addition of various α-amino esters to a 3-(nitromethylene)oxetane, reduction of the nitro group and further coupling with N-Z protected amino acids to grow the peptide chain. Structural insights are provided by X-ray diffraction and molecular dynamics simulations.

Abstract
This article describes the efficient synthesis of the first generation of branched sugar amino acid (SAA) oligomers in solution phase via two main routes: by the use of a standard coupling reagent and via the use of active ester intermediates. Benzyl-protected dimeric carbopeptoid and methyl-protected dimeric and tetrameric, hexameric and octameric carbopeptoids were obtained from a branched δ-3,5-trans-tetrahydrofuran (THF) SAA and methyl-protected dimeric and tetrameric carbopeptoids were synthesised from a branched δ-3,5-cis-THF SAA. These systems are of interest because of their potential to display foldameric properties reminiscent of those observed in α-peptides and proteins. Amongst their many uses, foldamers provide simpler models in the study of the factors which induce the folding and unfolding of proteins and, ultimately, potential insights into their functioning.

Abstract
Oligosaccharides are currently recognised as having functions that influence the entire spectrum of cell activities. However, a distinct disadvantage of naturally occurring oligosaccharides is their metabolic instability in biological systems. Therefore, much effort has been spent in the past two decades on the development of feasible routes to carbohydrate mimetics which can compete with their O-glycosidic counterparts in cell surface adhesion, inhibit carbohydrate processing enzymes, and interfere in the biosynthesis of specific cell surface carbohydrates. Such oligosaccharide mimetics are potential therapeutic agents against HIV and other infections, against cancer, diabetes and other metabolic diseases. An efficient strategy to access this type of compounds is the replacement of the glycosidic linkage by amide or pseudoamide functions such as thiourea, urea and guanidine. In this review we summarise the advances over the last decade in the synthesis of oligosaccharide mimetics that possess amide and pseudoamide linkages, as well as studies focussing on their supramolecular and recognition properties.
