    • Amidation

    • Special Amino Acid and Stapling Position

    • ①The Ⓧ (position: 6 and 10) in sequence indicates (S)-α-methyl, α-pentenylglycine. ②Ⓧ (6) and Ⓧ (10) are cross-linked by hydrocarbon stapling through an oct-4-enyl staple.

    • Stereochemistry

    • L

    • Secondary Structure

    • 27% α-helical content in a 25 mM potassium phosphate buffer solution at 20 ℃.

    • Structure Description

    • ①On the other hand, all three stapled analogs of E2EM15W showed substantial increases in helical contents, which again demonstrated the highly effective helix-stabilization through the all-hydrocarbon stapling technology. ②Although they bear the oce-4-enyl staple at the same positions as in E2EM15W-S1, the other stapled derivatives E2EM15W-S2 and E2EM15W-S3 exhibited markedly smaller helical contents: 27% and 37%, repectively.
