title: Conformational modulation of peptides using β-amino benzenesulfonic acid ((S)Ant).
abstract: This communication describes the utility of a conformationally restricted aromatic β-amino acid (2-aminobenzenesulfonic acid, (S)Ant) inducing various folding interactions in short peptides. Sandwiching (S)Ant between diverse amino acid residues was shown to form robust folded architectures featuring a variety of H-bonded networks, suggesting its utility in inducing peptide folding.
