Sequence‐Based Design of α/β‐Peptide Foldamers That Mimic BH3 Domains

Into the fold: Foldamers have emerged as versatile scaffolds for the design of functional macromolecules. A straightforward design principle based on primary sequence can be used to convert an α-peptide ligand derived from a natural protein-binding domain into an α/β-peptide with comparable binding affinity for protein targets bound by the α-peptide (see scheme).
