Different substitution groups on the in-tether chiral centre of chirality-induced helical peptides (CIH peptides) showed distinguishable effects on the peptides' cellular uptakes and binding affinities with the estrogen receptor α(ER-α). This study proves that in-tether chiral centres are a valuable modification site for constructing peptide ligands with preferable biophysical properties.

Reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) is believed to be the primary mechanism by which HDL and its major protein apoA-I protect against atherosclerosis. Starting from the inactive 22-amino acid peptide representing the consensus sequence of the class A amphipathic helical repeats of apoA-I, we designed novel peptides able to mobilize cholesterol from macrophages in vitro, and to stimulate the formation of 'nascent HDL' particles, with potency comparable to the entire apoA-I protein.
