| Description: | [DCS seminar] Dr. Hosahudya N. Gopi (IISER Pune) -- Peptide Foldamers: New Tools for Biomaterials Design and Medicinal Chemistry |
| Date: | Friday, Apr 22, 2016 |
| Time: | 2 p.m. - 3 p.m. |
| Venue: | G08, Lecture Hall Complex |
| Details: | Designing synthetic protein structures from non-natural amino acids has immense importance not only to understand novel foldamers but also from the perspective of medicinal chemistry. Significant progress has been achieved in this context using oligomers composed of synthetic beta- and gamma- amino acids and the mixed sequences containing alpha/beta and alpha/gamma hybrid peptides as well as organic templates. This talk is mainly focusing on the design of foldamers using naturally occurring gamma-amino acid scaffolds and their potential utility as antibiotics, inhibitors for protein-protein interactions and soft biomaterials design. |
