Metal-Assisted Folding of Prolinomycin Allows Facile Design of Functional Peptides.

Abstract excerpt

Cyclic peptides have been proposed as privileged scaffolds that might mimic the folding and function of natural proteins. However, simple cyclic peptides typically cannot fold into well-defined structures. Herein, we describe a foldable cyclic peptide scaffold on which functional side chains can be displayed for targeted recognition of biomolecules. The foldable scaffold is based on prolinomycin, a proline-rich...
