Hydrogen-Bonding-Driven 3D Supramolecular Assembly of Peptidomimetic Zipper
Hydrogen-bonding-driven three-dimensional (3D) assembly of a peptidomimetic zipper has been established for the first time by using an alpha/AApeptide zipper that assembles into a de novo lattice arrangement through two layers of hydrogen-bonded linker-directed interactions. Via a covalently bridged 1D 4(13)-helix, drastic enhancement in stability has been achieved in the formed 3D crystalline supramolecular architecture as evidenced by gas-sorption studies. As the first example of an unnatural peptidic zipper, the dimensional augmentation of the zipper differs from metal-coordinated strategies, and may have general implications for the preparation of peptidic functional materials for a variety of future applications.
