Abstract
We studied the effect of variable backbone dimethyl-substitution of γ amino acid residues (γ 2,2 , γ 3,3 and γ 4,4 ) on the conformation and assembly, in crystals and solution of their Fmoc derivatives. Crystal structure of γ 2,2 and γ 4,4 derivatives showed distinct conformations (open/close for γ 2,2 /γ 4,4 ) that differed in torsion angles, hydrogen-bonding and most importantly the π-π Fmoc-stacking interactions (relatively favorable for γ 4,4 -close). Fmoc derivatives existed in an equilibrium between major-monomeric (low energy, non-hydrogen bonded) and minor-dimeric (high energy, hydrogen bonded) populations in solution. Rate of major/minor population exchange was dependent on the position of substitution, highest being for γ 4,4 derivative. In solution, assembly of Fmoc derivatives was solvent dependent, but it was independent of the position of geminal substitution. Crystallization was primarily governed by the stabilization of high-energy dimer by favorable π-π stacking involving Fmoc moieties. High free-energy of the dimers (γ 2,2 -close, γ 3,3 -open/close) offset favorable stacking interactions and hindered crystallization.

Abstract
Despite their concomitant emergence in the 1990s, γ-peptide foldamers have not developed as fast as β-peptide foldamers and to date, only a few γ-oligomer structures have been reported, and with sparse applications. Among these examples, sequences containing α,β-unsaturated γ-amino acids have recently drawn attention since the Z/E configurations of the double bond provide opposite planar restrictions leading to divergent conformational behaviors, from helix to extended structures. In this Review, we give a comprehensive overview of the developments of γ-peptide foldamers containing α,β-unsaturated γ-amino acids with examples of applications for health and catalysis, as well as materials science.

Abstract
Here, we are reporting a single-step transformation of N-protected α,β-unsaturated γ-amino amides into 5,5-disubstituted γ-lactams through a base-mediated new molecular rearrangement. In contrast to the known N- to C(O) cyclization of saturated γ-amino acids into corresponding γ-lactams, the new rearrangement involves the cyclization between N-terminal Cγ- to C-terminal amide N. The cyclization process was initiated by the migration of double bond from α,β → β,γ position. The enamine-imine tautomerization of the new β,γ-double bond and subsequent 5-exo-trig cyclization of terminal amide leads to the formation of N-protected 5,5-disubstituted γ-lactam. The structures of various γ-lactams obtained from the rearrangement were studied in single crystals. Overall, the results reported here demonstrate the facile and single-step transformation of N-protected α,β-unsaturated γ-amino amides into γ-lactams and provided an excellent opportunity to construct small-molecule peptidomimetics.

Abstract
Designing peptide-based drugs to target the β-sheet-rich toxic intermediates during the aggregation of amyloid-β 1-42 (Aβ1-42) has been a major challenge. In general, β-sheet breaker peptides (BSBPs) are designed to complement the enthalpic interactions with the aggregating protein, and entropic effects are usually ignored. Here, we have developed a conformationally constrained cyclic BSBP by the use of an unnatural amino acid and a disulfide bond. We show that our peptide strongly inhibits the aggregation of Aβ1-42 in a concentration-dependent manner. It stabilizes the random coil conformation of Aβ1-42 monomers and inhibits the secondary structural transition to a β-sheet-rich conformation which allows Aβ1-42 to oligomerize in an ordered assembly during its aggregation. Our cyclic peptide also rescues the toxicity of soluble aggregates of Aβ1-42 toward neuronal cells. However, it significantly loses its potency in the conformationally relaxed acyclic form. It appears that limiting the loss of conformational entropy of the BSBP ligand can play a very important role in the attainment of conformations for precise and tight binding, making them a potent inhibitor for Aβ1-42 amyloidosis.

Abstract
Double helices are not common in polypeptides and proteins except in the peptide antibiotic gramicidin A and analogous l,d-peptides. In contrast to natural polypeptides, remarkable β-double-helical structures from achiral γ-peptides built from α,β-unsaturated γ-amino acids have been observed. The crystal structures suggest that they adopted parallel β-double helical structures and these structures are stabilized by the interstrand backbone amide H-bonds. Furthermore, both NMR spectroscopy and fluorescence studies support the existence of double-helical conformations in solution. Although a variety of folded architectures featuring distinct H-bonds have been discovered from the β- and γ-peptide foldamers, this is the first report to show that achiral γ-peptides can spontaneously intertwine into β-double helical structures.

Abstract
X-ray crystallography has been applied to the structural analysis of a series of tetrapeptides that were previously assessed for catalytic activity in an atroposelective bromination reaction. Common to the series is a central Pro-Xaa sequence, where Pro is either l- or d-proline, which was chosen to favor nucleation of canonical β-turn secondary structures. Crystallographic analysis of 35 different peptide sequences revealed a range of conformational states. The observed differences appear not only in cases where the Pro-Xaa loop-region is altered, but also when seemingly subtle alterations to the flanking residues are introduced. In many instances, distinct conformers of the same sequence were observed, either as symmetry-independent molecules within the same unit cell or as polymorphs. Computational studies using DFT provided additional insight into the analysis of solid-state structural features. Select X-ray crystal structures were compared to the corresponding solution structures derived from measured proton chemical shifts, 3J-values, and 1H-1H-NOESY contacts. These findings imply that the conformational space available to simple peptide-based catalysts is more diverse than precedent might suggest. The direct observation of multiple ground state conformations for peptides of this family, as well as the dynamic processes associated with conformational equilibria, underscore not only the challenge of designing peptide-based catalysts, but also the difficulty in predicting their accessible transition states. These findings implicate the advantages of low-barrier interconversions between conformations of peptide-based catalysts for multistep, enantioselective reactions.
