| Abstract | The solid state conformational preferences of a series of 2-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib) foldamers bearing a single N-terminal tertiary amino acid (Cbz-L-phenylalanine (Cbz-L-Phe)) have been investigated by X-ray crystallography. The type of β-turn present at the N-terminus and the global screw-sense preferences of the Aib foldamers were determined by analysis of intramolecular hydrogen-bonds and peptide torsion angles. The contrasting influence of a C-terminal ester or amide on the 310 helical conformation of the foldamers was established by identifying the hydrogen-bonding motifs adopted in the solid state. The ability of non-Aib achiral quaternary residues in the middle of the chain to stabilise the 310 helix was similarly confirmed. Combining these structural features, which promote the formation of consecutive i → i + 3 β-turns in Aib foldamers, permitted the formation of long chain oligomers in 310 helical conformations that extend over 21 Å. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
