Abstract
The development of turn-based inhibitors of protein-protein interactions has attracted considerable attention in medicinal chemistry. Our group has synthesized a series of peptides derived from an amino-functionalized ferrocene to investigate their potential to mimic protein turn structures. Detailed DFT and spectroscopic studies (IR, NMR, CD) have shown that, for peptides, the backbone chirality and bulkiness of the amino acid side chains determine the hydrogen-bond pattern, allowing tuning of the size of the preferred hydrogen-bonded ring in turn-folded structures. However, their biological potential is more dependent on their lipophilicity. In addition, our pioneering work on the chiroptical properties of aminoferrocene-containing peptides enables the correlation of their geometry with the sign of the CD signal in the absorption region of the ferrocene chromophore. These studies have opened up the possibility of using aminoferrocene and its derivatives as chirooptical probes for the determination of various chirality elements, such as the central chirality of amino acids and the helicity of peptide sequences.

Abstract
Considerable attention has been given to the research field of bioorganometallic chemistry, which is a hybrid chemistry field between biology and organometallic chemistry. The introduction of biomolecules, which have hydrogen bonding sites and chiral centers, into organometallic compounds is a promising strategy to construct chirality-organized bioorganometallic conjugates. This feature paper sketches an outline of induction of helical chirality into bioorganometallic conjugates by the control of a torsional twist of the organometallic moiety. Topics covered included control of the helical chirality of 1,n′-disubstituted ferrocene moieties in ferrocene-dipeptide conjugates, and the chirality induction of the Au(I)–Au(I) axis in the dinuclear organogold(I)-uracil conjugates.

Abstract
The highly ordered molecular assemblies in proteins can have a variety of functions, as observed in enzymes, receptors, and the like. Synthetic scientists are constructing bioinspired systems by harnessing the self-assembling properties of short peptides. Secondary structures such as alpha-helices, beta-sheets, and beta-turns are important in protein folding, which is mostly directed and stabilized by hydrogen bonding and the hydrophobic interactions of side chains. The design of secondary structure mimics that are composed of short peptides has attracted much attention, both for gaining fundamental insight into the factors affecting protein folding and for developing pharmacologically useful compounds, artificial receptors, asymmetric catalysts, and new materials. Ferrocenes are an organometallic scaffold with a central reverse-turn unit based on the inter-ring spacing of about 3.3 A, which is a suitable distance for hydrogen bonding between attached peptide strands. The conjugation of organometallic compounds with biomolecules such as amino acids, peptides, and DNA should provide novel systems that reflect properties of both the ferrocene and the biologically derived moieties. In this Account, we focus on recent advances in the design of ferrocene-peptide bioconjugates, which help illustrate the peptidomimetic basis for protein folding and the means of constructing highly ordered molecular assemblies. Ferrocene-peptide bioconjugates are constructed to form chirality-organized structures in both solid and solution states. The ferrocene serves as a reliable organometallic scaffold for the construction of protein secondary structures via intramolecular hydrogen bonding: the attached dipeptide strands are constrained within the appropriate dimensions. The introduction of the chiral dipeptide chains into the ferrocene scaffold induces the conformational enantiomerization of the ferrocenyl moiety; the chirality-organized structure results from intramolecular hydrogen bonding. The configuration and sequence of the amino acids are instrumental in the process. Regulation of the directionality and specificity of hydrogen bonding is a key component in the design of various molecular assemblies. Ferrocene-peptide bioconjugates also have a strong tendency to self-assemble through the contributions of available hydrogen-bonding donors in the solid state. Some ferrocene-peptide bioconjugates bearing only one dipeptide chain exhibit a helically ordered molecular assembly through a network of intermolecular (rather than intramolecular) hydrogen bonds. The propensity to form the chiral helicity appears to be controlled by the chirality of the dipeptide chains. Organization of host molecules is a useful strategy for forming artificial receptors. The conformationally regulated ferrocene-peptide bioconjugate provides the chirality-organized binding site for size-selective and chiral recognition of dicarboxylic acids through multipoint hydrogen bonds. Metal ions serve a variety of purposes in proteins, including structural stabilization for biological function. The complexation of ferrocene-peptide bioconjugates with palladium(II) compounds not only stabilizes the chirality conformational regulation but also induces conformational regulation of the dipeptide chain through complexation and intramolecular chirality organization. Construction of the chirality-organized ferrocene-peptide bioconjugates is also achieved by metal-directed assembly. These varied examples amply demonstrate the value of ferrocene-peptide bioconjugates in asserting architectural control over highly ordered molecular assemblies.
