To reveal the structure-function relations of beta-amino-acid-containing foldamers, we followed a top-down approach to study a series of alpha/beta-peptidic analogs of anginex, a beta-sheet-forming antiangiogenic peptide. Eight anginex analogs were developed by systematic alpha --> beta(3) substitutions and analyzed by using NMR and CD spectroscopy. The foldamers retained the beta-sheet tendency, though with a decreased folding propensity. beta-Sheet formation could be induced by a micellar environment, similarly to that of the parent peptide. The destructuring effect was higher when the alpha --> beta(3) exchange was located in the beta-sheet core. Analysis of the beta-sheet stability versus substitution pattern and the local conformational bias of the bulky beta(3)V and beta(3)I residues revealed that a mismatch between the H-bonding preferences of the alpha- and beta-residues played a minor role in the structure-breaking effect. Temperature-dependent CD and NMR measurements showed that the hydrophobic stabilization was scaled-down for the alpha/beta-peptides. Analysis of the biological activity of the foldamer peptides showed that four anginex derivatives dose-dependently inhibited the proliferation of a mouse endothelial cell line. The alpha --> beta(3) substitution strategy applied in this work can be a useful approach to the construction of bioactive beta-sheet mimetics with a reduced aggregation tendency and improved pharmacokinetic properties.}, year = {2013}, eissn = {1520-5126}, pages = {16578-16584}, orcid-numbers = {Hegedüs, Zsófia/0000-0002-5546-8167; Wéber, Edit/0000-0002-5904-0619; Czibula, Ágnes/0000-0003-4461-2773; Monostori, Éva/0000-0002-7442-3562; Martinek, Tamás/0000-0003-3168-8066} } @article{MTMT:2347492, title = {Foldameric β-H18/20P mixed helix stabilized by head-to-tail contacts: A way to higher-order structures Foldameric-H18/20P Mixed Helix Stabilized by Head-to-Tail Contacts: A Way to Higher-Order Structures}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2347492}, author = {Szolnoki, Éva Tünde and Hetényi, Anasztázia and Mándity, István and Fülöp, Ferenc and Martinek, Tamás}, doi = {10.1002/ejoc.201201633}, journal-iso = {EUR J ORG CHEM}, journal = {EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY}, volume = {2013}, unique-id = {2347492}, issn = {1434-193X}, abstract = {Peptidic foldamers are known to exhibit increased diversity in the periodic secondary-structure space in comparison with their natural counterparts, but their higher-order self-organization has been studied less thoroughly. In theory, large-diameter peptide foldamer helices have the capability of self-recognition through axial helix-helix interactions (e.g., head-to-tail), but this phenomenon has previously been observed in only one instance. In this article we report on the discovery of the largest-diameter β-peptidic mixed helix to date, the H18/20P helix. Its formation is solvent-dependent and its folding occurs cooperatively through head-to-tail self-assembly in solution. These findings suggest that axial helix-helix interactions can serve as a new mode for the formation of tertiary/quaternary structures for peptide foldamers, which also show higher-order structural diversity than natural proteins. © 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

The ECD and TEM measurements, together with molecular modeling, revealed that the alternating heterochiral trans-ACPC oligomers tend to attain a polar-strand secondary structure in solution, which can self-assemble into nanostructured fibrils. The observations indicate that coverage of all the possible secondary structures (various helix types and strand-mimicking conformations) can be attained with the help of cyclic beta-amino acid diastereomers.
