title: Peptidomimetics and peptide backbone modifications.
abstract: The replacement of the amide bond in a peptide backbone is a widely used form of peptide mimicry. Several of the most common amide bond surrogates, including peptidomimetic work done in this laboratory, and their biological applications are presented in this review.
