We report the first high-resolution structural data for β/γ-peptide 13-helix (i,i+3 C═O···H—N H-bonds), a secondary structure that is formed by oligomers with 1:1 alternation of β- and γ-amino acid residues. Our characterization includes both crystallophaphic 2D NMR data. Previous studies suggested β/γ-peptides constructed from conformationally flexible residues adopt different helical in solution. design features preorganized γ-residues, which strongly promote 13-helical folding β/γ backbone.

An asymmetric synthesis of two new diastereomeric γ-amino acids is described. Both molecules contain a cyclohexyl ring to limit conformational flexibility about the Cα–Cβ bond; they differ in having cis vs trans stereochemistry on ring. Residues derived from γ isomer are shown support helical secondary structures α/γ-peptide oligomers.
