In this review, we describe the recent advances in supramolecular helical assemblies
formed from chiral and achiral small molecules, oligomers (foldamers), and helical and …

The past several decades have witnessed great progress in the understanding of the high-
order structure of biomacromolecules. Currently, it is well-recognized that folding of proteins …

Foldamers are artificial folded molecular architectures inspired by the structures and
functions of biopolymers. This highlight focuses on important developments concerning …

The breadth of structure and function displayed by the molecules of biology is remarkable.
Considering that there are only three major biopolymer backbones (proteins, ribonucleic …

In recent years, our understanding of protein structure and function has advanced rapidly,
providing a mechanistic understanding of a wide variety of biological processes. As an …

The high functionalities of naturally occurring macromolecules such as proteins and genes
arise from their precisely ordered stereostructures. 1 In such systems, the helix is often found …

The ab initio design of synthetic molecular receptors for a specific biomolecular guest
remains an elusive objective, particularly for targets such as monosaccharides, which have …

Aromatic oligoamide foldamers possess a high potential for mimicking the secondary
structures of biopolymers. These oligomers are efficiently designed, easy to synthesize, and …

Over the past decade, foldamers have progressively emerged as useful architectures to
mimic secondary structures of proteins. Peptidic foldamers, consisting of various amino acid …

Oligoamides of 8-amino-2-carboxy-quinoline adopt a very stable helical conformation
characterized in solution by 1H NMR and in the solid state by single-crystal X-ray diffraction …
