Abstract
The invention provides materials and methods for synthesizing novel reverse turn mimetics, as well as peptides containing the same. Also provided are novel synthetic nonpeptide therapeutic molecules designed upon the interactions between reverse turn mimetics or peptides containing the same, and receptors, antibodies, or enzymes.
Claims7
A gamma-turn mimetic having the structure:
- ##STR41## wherein X is a linker moiety;
- Y is selected from --CH.sub.2 --, --NH-- and --N(CH.sub.3)--;
- Z is hydrogen or methyl;
- and R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are individually selected from naturally occurring amino acid side chain substituents.
