We report solid-state evidence that sequences comprising α-amino acids and quinoline-based monomers adopt conformations that combine the folding propensities of both components. Foldamers 2 and 3 having an XQQ repeat motif (X=α-amino acid, Q=quinoline) were synthesized. Crystals of 2 (X=Phe, Q with an anionic side chain) obtained from water revealed an aromatic helix where amide groups belonging to the α-amino acids created a hydrogen-bond array typical of peptidic helices. Crystals of 3 (X=Ser, Q with a lipophilic side chain) obtained from organic solvents revealed a helix-turn-helix structure in which α-amino acid side chains interfere with main-chain hydrogen bonding. High sequence-dependency of the conformation is typical of peptides but is shown here to include aromatic folding features.","lang":"eng"}],"citation":{"mla":"Hu, Xiaobo, et al. “Hybrid Sequences That Express Both Aromatic Amide and Α‐peptidic Folding Features.” ChemPlusChem, vol. 85, no. 7, Wiley, 2020, pp. 1580–86, doi:10.1002/cplu.202000416.","ieee":"X.
