Y. Hamuro et al., OLIGOANTHRANILAMIDES - NONPEPTIDE SUBUNITS THAT SHOW FORMATION OF SPECIFIC SECONDARY STRUCTURE, Journal of the American Chemical Society, 118(32), 1996, pp. 7529-7541
A family of novel oligomers based on the anthranilamide nucleus has be
en prepared and shown to form well-defined secondary structural featur
es. H-1 NMR and X-ray crystallographic techniques have demonstrated th
at intramolecular hydrogen bonds play a key role in stabilizing both l
inear sheet and helical conformational forms.
