title: A Short Helix Formed by Cyclic β(2,3)-Aminoxy Peptides in Protic Solvents.
abstract: Water-soluble cyclic β(2,3)-aminoxy peptides have been successfully prepared and characterized in polar organic solvents and aqueous media. The monomeric and oligomeric peptides exhibit unique β N-O turns and helical conformations, with extraordinary stability toward a wide range of pH values and temperatures.
