| Abstract | As a new type of foldamer, β-aminoxy peptides have the ability to adopt novel β NO turns or β NO helices in solution. Herein, we describe a new subclass of β-aminoxy peptide, that is, peptides of acyclic $β^{2, 3}-aminoxy$ acids $(NH_{2}OCHR_{1}CHR_{2}COOH),$ in which the presence of two chiral centers provides insight into the effect of backbone stereochemistry on the folding of β-aminoxy peptides. Acyclic $β^{2, 3}-aminoxy$ peptides with syn and anti configurations have been synthesized and their conformations investigated by NMR, IR, and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopic, and X-ray crystallographic analysis. The β NO turns or β NO helices, which feature nine-membered rings with intramolecular hydrogen bonds and have been identified previously in peptides of $β^{3}-$ and $β^{2, 2}-aminoxy$ acids, are also predominantly present in the acyclic $β^{2, 3}-aminoxy$ peptides with a syn configuration and NO bonds gauche to the $C_{α}C_{β}$ bonds in both solution and the solid state. In the acyclic $β^{2, 3}-aminoxy$ peptides with an anti configuration, an extended strand (i.e., non-hydrogen-bonded state) is found in the solid state, and several conformations including non-hydrogen-bonded and intramolecular hydrogen-bonded states are present simultaneously in nonpolar solvents. These results suggest that the backbone stereochemistry does affect the folding of the acyclic $β^{2, 3}-aminoxy$ peptides. Theoretical calculations on the conformations of model acyclic $β^{2, 3}-aminoxy$ peptides with different backbone stereochemistry were also conducted to elucidate structural characteristics. Our present work may provide useful guidelines for the design and construction of new foldamers with predicable structures. |

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.
