Abstract
Peptidomimetic oligomers and foldamers have received considerable attention for over a decade, with β-peptides and the so-called peptoids (N-alkylglycine oligomers) representing prominent examples of such architectures. Lately, hybrid or mixed backbones consisting of both α- and β-amino acids (α/β-peptides) have been investigated in some detail as well. The present Minireview is a survey of the literature concerning hybrid structures of α-amino acids and peptoids, including βpeptoids (N-alkyl-β-alanine oligomers), and is intended to give an overview of this area of research within the field of peptidomimetic science.
