title: Functionalized foldamers: synthesis and characterization of a glycosylated beta-peptide 314-helix conveying the TN-antigen.
abstract: Herein we describe the design, synthesis, and solution structure of a novel type of conjugate composed of a naturally occurring bio-active ligand bound to an artificial peptidomimetic backbone; in this first report on such functionalized foldamers we utilized a beta-peptide as backbone and a GalNAc carbohydrate residue as ligand.
