	abstract = {<p>Two tetrahydrofuran-based y-amino acids [2,4-cis and 2,4-trans] were subjected to iterative peptide-coupling procedures to afford dimeric, tetrameric and hexameric carbopeptoids in good yield. These homooligomers were prepared for secondary structural study-to ascertain the conformational preference inherent in the monomer units. The L-xylo oligomers were protected with triethylsilyl ethers to increase the range of solvents suitable for structural investigation. Initial secondary structure data indicate the presence of hydrogen-bonded conformations in the L-ribo series. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>Chemists{\textquoteright} constant pursuit of understanding of the underlying principles of nature{\textquoteright}s most intricate phenomenon such as protein folding has led to the development of the field of foldamers. The emergence of diverse classes of unnatural amino acid building blocks has unleashed countless opportunities to design, develop and explore the structural and functional aspects of synthetic peptides. One current trend in foldamer chemistry is the heterofoldamer approach, which involves systematic stoichiometric variation of various natural/unnatural amino acid residues, leading to conformational ordering with intriguing structural architectures. In this regard, the incorporation of aromatic amino acids provides efficient structural rigidification and tunability to the molecular scaffolds, which can exhibit a range of secondary structural features. Recent times have witnessed an upsurge of foldamers featuring aliphatic-aromatic residues with diverse structural propensities. This review is an effort to cover this rapidly developing field of foldamer science and also to envisage its future perspectives.</p>},
