The very simple sterically hindered tert-butyl side chain exerts complete control over the peptoid amide geometry which only exists in the cis conformation. It is exemplified in NtBu glycine homo-oligomers and in linear oligopeptoids designed with an alternating cis-trans backbone amide pattern.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
