Structure-Based Design of Inhibitors of Protein-Protein Interactions: Mimicking Peptide Binding Epitopes

TL;DR: A new classification of peptidomimetics (classes A–D) is introduced that enables a clear assignment of available approaches for the structure-based design of PPI inhibitors through stabilizing or mimicking turns, β-sheets, and helices.
Journal ArticleDOI

Peptidomimetics, a synthetic tool of drug discovery

TL;DR: The demand for modified peptides with improved stability profiles and pharmacokinetic properties is driving extensive research effort in this field and recent advances in the synthesis of conformationally restricted building blocks and peptide bond isosteres are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemical modifications designed to improve peptide stability: incorporation of non-natural amino acids, pseudo-peptide bonds, and cyclization.

TL;DR: This review focuses on modified peptides in which the peptide character is still preponderant, with particular emphasis on the chemical methodologies utilized to introduce the modifications.

Synthesis and Applications of Small Molecule Libraries.

TL;DR: Thompson et al. as mentioned in this paper developed a method for the generation of large combinatorial libraries of peptides and oligonucleotides that are then screened against a receptor or enzyme to identify high affinity ligands or potent inhibitors, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stereochemical criteria for polypeptides and proteins. V. Conformation of a system of three linked peptide units.

TL;DR: Examples of hydrogen‐bonded, nonhelical conformations which occur in peptides and proteins are discussed—e.g., in cyclohexaglyeyl, an open tetrapeptide Gly‐L‐Pro‐ L‐Leu‐Gly, and in parts of the lysozyme chain.

Peptidomimetics—Tailored Enzyme Inhibitors†

J. Gante
- 16 Sep 1994 - 
TL;DR: Rational design is advancing rapidly, and it is already clear that developments in the area of peptidomimetics have given a great boost to peptide chemistry as a whole, and this can be expected to continue, so that in future peptide Chemistry may be characterized by a type of symbiotic alliance between peptides and non-peptides.
