The development of peptidomimetic foldamers that can form well-defined folded structures is highly desirable yet challenging. We previously reported on α-ABpeptoids, oligomers of N-alkylated β2-homoalanines and found that due to the presence of chiral methyl groups at α-positions, α-ABpeptoids were shown to adopt folding conformations. Here, we report β-ABpeptoids having chiral methyl group at β-positions rather than α-positions as a different class of peptoids with backbone chirality. We developed a facile solid-phase synthetic route that enables the synthesis of β-ABpeptoid oligomers ranging from 2-mer to 8-mer in excellent yields. These oligomers were shown to adopt ordered folding conformations based on circular dichroism (CD) and NMR studies. Overall, these results suggest that β-ABpeptoids represent a novel class of peptidomimetic foldamers that will find a wide range of applications in biomedical and material sciences.
Stereochemical studies on the reactions catalyzed by the PLP-dependent enzyme 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase

The stereochemical course of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase which catalyzes the fragmentation of the cyclopropane substrate to alpha -ketobutyrate and ammonia has been unraveled with the help of substrates stereospecifically labeled with deuterium and/or tritium, and this has afforded important information about the process occurring at the active site during enzymatic conversion.
