title: Beta-amino acid-containing hybrid peptides--new opportunities in peptidomimetics.
abstract: Hybrid peptides consisting of alpha-amino acids with judiciously placed beta-amino acids show great promise as peptidomimetics in an increasing range of therapeutic applications. This reflects a combination of increased stability, high specificity and relative ease of synthesis.
