Amidines are an isostere of the amide bond but are unexplored in peptide secondary structure. The @vanvellergroup from @IowaStateU shows how amidines are not only tolerated in helical structures but can even enhance helical folds. #MyFirstChemSci doi.org/10.1039/D4SC06108J

Sulfenamides are an often-ignored functional group due to their instability. A new computational study in #JOrgChem of the α-effect for S–N nucleophiles reveals that an unusual anomeric interaction may aid their stability. From @vanvellergroup, pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

"The synthetic strategy developed in this study represents the first robust and general procedure for the introduction of amidines into the peptide backbone." Now in @J_A_C_S, from VanVeller and colleagues @IowaStateU  pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac… #unnatural #peptide #synthesis
