Chemical communication: conductors and insulators of screw-sense preference between helical oligo(aminoisobutyric acid) domains

Abstract

1H NMR studies quantify the abilities of achiral amino acids to communicate a left-handed screw-sense preference from one helical Aib4 domain to another: certain quaternary amino acids (e.g. Ac6c) act as effective conductors of conformational preference while others (e.g. diphenylglycine) acts as insulators.
