Abstract
We report a critical advance in the generation and characterization of peptoid hetero-oligomers. A library of sub-monomers with amine and carboxylate side-chains are combined in different sequences using microwave-assisted synthesis. Their sequence-structure propensity is confirmed by circular dichroism, and conformer subtypes are enumerated by NMR. Biasing theψ-angle backbone totrans(180°) in Monte Carlo modelling favorsitoi+ 3 naphthyl-naphthyl stacking, and matches experimental ensemble distributions. Taken together, high-yield synthesis of heterooligomers and NMR with structure prediction enables rapid determination of sequences that induce secondary structural propensities for predictive design of hydrophilic peptidomimetic foldamers and their future libraries.
