Funded Activity Summary

Protein And Peptide Alpha Turns. All life is controlled by the structures and functions of proteins. Major components of proteins are alpha helices that are combinations of alpha turns. Different types of alpha turns exist in proteins but have not been well studied. This project will discover and classify alpha turns in proteins, create the first small molecules that contain alpha turns outside of complex protein environments, and provide a better understanding of their chemical, structural and biological properties. Results will teach scientists important details about protein structure and function, train scientists at a frontier of chemistry-biology research, and may contribute to national priorities by triggering new approaches to medicines and novel materials.
