Promoting peptide α-helix formation with dynamic covalent oxime side-chain cross-links

Abstract

Covalent side-chain cross-linking has been shown to be a viable strategy to control peptide folding. We report here that an oxime side-chain linkage can elicit α-helical folds from peptides in aqueous solution. The bio-orthogonal bridge is formed rapidly under neutral buffered conditions, and the resulting cyclic oximes are capable of dynamic covalent exchange.
