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

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, https://t.co/P8s5JRQbDp
SESSION 4: PROTEIN ARCHITECTURES – STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
L20 – Brett VanVeller, Iowa State University
Thioimidates: An Obscure Functional Group Provides General Access to Peptide Bond Isosteres
Special moment when you get to present in the same section as your former advisor Ronald Raines at APS #peptides2023. Working on some polymer projects to complete the set with @SwagerGroup and @AdronovGroup
It��s award ceremony season and our lab recently celebrated grad students @brendanxwall and @emilyob51 on their @IASTATE_Chem departmental awards!
Of course they had to get a picture with Rosalind too! 🧬
AGENDA HIGHLIGHT Session 4: Protein Architectures: Structure and Function featuring Ronald Raines, Emma Watson @Dr_EmmaWatson, Brett VanVeller @brettvanveller, Marina Rubini @TheRubiniGroup, and Jianfeng Cai. https://t.co/4axLeaqe5C

"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
