  • Title: Formation of a stable 14-helix in short oligomers of furanoid cis-beta-sugar-amino acid.

    Journal: J Am Chem Soc; 2004 Oct 27; 126(42):13586-7. PubMed ID: 15493894.
    Abstract:
    Oligomers of a new class of sugar amino acids (SAA) using a xylofuranoic acid has been shown to generate a robust 14-helix. The design involved the use of xylofuranose with a cis arrangement between the amine and carboxyl groups to promote the adoption of a 14-helix instead of a mixed 12/10-helix observed in a sugar oligomer using a ribofuranoic acid and beta-Ala. The observation of a stable right-handed 14-helix in a cis-SAA is unprecedented.
