Abstract
A novel synthetic approach toward a poorly explored bioorganometallic consisting of ferrocene-1,1'-diamine bearing structurally and chirally diverse amino acid sequences is reported. Until now, ferrocene-1,1'-diamine was suitable for accommodating only identical amino acid sequences at its N-termini, leading to the symmetrically disubstituted homochiral products stabilized through a 14-membered intramolecular hydrogen-bonded ring as is seen in antiparallel β-sheet peptides. The key step of the novel synthetic pathway is the transformation of Ac-Ala-NH-Fn-COOH (5) (Fn = 1,1'-ferrocenylene) to orthogonally protected Ac-Ala-NH-Fn-NHBoc (7). The spectroscopic analysis (IR, NMR, CD) of the novel compounds, corroborated with DFT studies, suggests the interesting feature of the ferrocene-1,1'-diamine scaffold. The same hydrogen-bonding pattern, i.e. a 14-membered hydrogen-bonded ring, was determined both in solution and in the solid state, thus making them promising, yet simple scaffolds capable of mimicking β-sheet peptides. In vitro screening of potential anticancer activity in Hep G2 human liver carcinoma cells and Hs 578 T human breast cancer cells revealed a cytotoxic pattern for novel compounds (150-500 μM) with significantly decreased cell proliferation.

Abstract
This paper discusses the recent developments of protein engineering using both covalent and noncovalent bonds to constrain peptides, forcing them into designed protein secondary structures. These constrained peptides subsequently can be used as peptidomimetics for biological functions such as regulations of protein-protein interactions.

Abstract
Beta-sheets consist of extended polypeptide strands (beta-strands) connected by a network of hydrogen bonds and occur widely in proteins. Although the importance of beta-sheets in the folded structures of proteins has long been recognized, there is a growing recognition of the importance of intermolecular interactions among beta-sheets. Intermolecular interactions between the hydrogen-bonding edges of beta-sheets constitute a fundamental form of biomolecular recognition (like DNA base pairing) and are involved protein quaternary structure, protein-protein interactions, and peptide and protein aggregation. The importance of beta-sheet interactions in biological processes makes them potential targets for intervention in diseases such as AIDS, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease. This Account describes my research group's use of chemical model systems to study the structure and interactions of beta-sheets. Chemical model systems provide an excellent vehicle with which to explore beta-sheets, because they are smaller, simpler, and easier to manipulate than proteins. Synthetic chemical models also provide the opportunity to control or modulate natural systems or to develop other useful applications and may eventually lead to new drugs with which to treat diseases. In our "artificial beta-sheets", molecular template and turn units are combined with peptides to mimic the structures of parallel and antiparallel beta-sheets. The templates and turn units form folded, hydrogen-bonded structures with the peptide groups and help prevent the formation of complex, ill-defined aggregates. Templates that duplicate the hydrogen-bonding pattern of one edge of a peptide beta-strand while blocking the other edge have proven particularly valuable in preventing aggregate formation and in promoting the formation of simple monomeric and dimeric structures. Artificial beta-sheets that present exposed hydrogen-bonding edges can form well-defined hydrogen-bonded dimers. Dimerization occurs readily in chloroform solutions but requires additional hydrophobic interactions to occur in aqueous solution. Interactions among the side chains, as well as hydrogen bonding among the main chains, are important in dimer formation. NMR studies of artificial beta-sheets have elucidated the importance of hydrogen-bonding complementarity, size complementarity, and chiral complementarity in these interactions. These pairing preferences demonstrate sequence selectivity in the molecular recognition between beta-sheets. These studies help illustrate the importance of intermolecular edge-to-edge interactions between beta-sheets in peptides and proteins. Ultimately, these model systems may lead to new ways of controlling beta-sheet interactions and treating diseases in which they are involved.

Abstract
Chemical model systems provide valuable insights into biomolecular structure and interactions by allowing researchers to simplify, isolate, and manipulate aspects of the complex molecular machinery of living systems. This perspective describes my laboratory's design, synthesis, and study of chemical model systems that fold and self-assemble like proteins and elucidates the insights that have come from studying these systems. Many of these studies have focused on protein beta-sheets, which exhibit fascinating intra- and intermolecular interactions and play important roles in protein folding, aggregation, and molecular recognition.

Abstract
We have designed, synthesized, and evaluated the inhibitory activity and metabolic stability of new peptidomimetic molecular tongs based on a naphthalene scaffold for inhibiting HIV-1 protease dimerization. Peptidomimetic motifs were inserted into one peptidic strand to make it resistant to proteolysis. The peptidic character of the molecular tongs can be decreased without changing the way they inhibit dimerization. Mutated HIV-1 proteases are also vulnerable to dimerization inhibitors, and the multimutated protease ANAM-11 is twice as sensitive to the inhibitor compared to wild-type protease. Thus, the metabolic stability of antidimeric molecular tongs can be increased without compromising their ability to inhibit wild-type and mutated HIV-1 proteases in vitro.

Abstract
Comparing two or more protein structures with respect to their degree of folding is common practice in structural biology despite the fact that there is no scale for a folding degree. Here we introduce a formal definition of a folding degree, capable of quantitative characterization. This enables ordering among protein chains based on their degree of folding. The folding degree of a data set of 152 representative nonhomologous proteins is then studied. We demonstrate that the variation in the folding degree seen for this data set is not due to crystallization artifacts or experimental conditions, such as resolution, refinement protocol, pH, or temperature. A good linear relationship is observed between the folding degree and the percentages of secondary structures in the protein. The folding degree is able to account for the small changes produced in the structure due to crystal packing and temperature. Automating the classification of proteins into their respective structural domain classes, namely mainly-alpha, mainly-beta, and alpha-beta, is also possible.

Abstract
This paper describes the synthesis and characterization of the first series of hydrogen bonding-driven hydrazide foldamers and their recognition for alkyl saccharides in chloroform. Oligomers 1, 2-4, 5, 6, and 7, which contain one, two, four, six, or twelve repeated dibenzoyl hydrazide residues, respectively, have been prepared. The rigid and planar conformations of 1 and 2 or 4 have been established with X-ray analysis and (1)H NMR spectroscopy, whereas the folding and helical conformations of 5-7 have been evidenced by the 1D and 2D (1)H NMR and IR spectroscopy and molecular mechanics calculations. Molecular mechanics calculations also revealed that 5, 6, and 7 possess a rigid cavity with size of ca. 10.6 to 11.1 A, and half of the carbonyl groups in the folding conformations are orientated inwardly inside the cavity. (1)H NMR and CD experiments revealed that 5-7 efficiently complex alkylated mono- and disaccharides 32-35 in chloroform. The association constants (K(assoc)) of the complexes have been determined with the (1)H NMR and fluorescent titration methods. The energy-minimized conformation of 6.34 has been obtained with molecular mechanics calculation. The hydrazide-based folding structures described here represent novel examples of hydrogen bonding-driven foldamers that act as artificial receptors for selective molecular recognition.

Abstract
The virally encoded NS3 protease is essential to the life cycle of the hepatitis C virus (HCV), an important human pathogen causing chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The design and synthesis of 15-membered ring beta-strand mimics which are capable of inhibiting the interactions between the HCV NS3 protease enzyme and its polyprotein substrate will be described. The binding interactions between a macrocyclic ligand and the enzyme were explored by NMR and molecular dynamics, and a model of the ligand/enzyme complex was developed.

Abstract
Pyrazole amino acid oligoamides were prepared on polyethylene glycol starting from nitro pyrazole carboxylic acids or protected pyrazole amino acids. The polymer support facilitates product isolation during synthesis and makes the target oligoamides soluble in chloroform and water. This allows the determination of their binding properties towards peptides. Moderate affinity, which increases with the number of pyrazole units, is observed in chloroform and water.
